Searching for a dental implant service near me? My Health Assistant connects you with experienced dental professionals who offer high-quality dental implants to permanently replace missing teeth. Whether you're restoring one tooth or several, we make it easy to find and book trusted implant specialists near you.
Dental implants are permanent, artificial tooth roots made of titanium that are surgically inserted into the jawbone. They serve as a strong, long-lasting foundation for replacement teeth such as crowns, bridges, or dentures. Implants not only restore the appearance of your smile but also maintain proper jaw structure and prevent bone loss.
Dental implants are considered the gold standard for replacing missing teeth due to their durability, stability, and natural appearance.
The dental implant process usually takes place over several appointments:
Initial Consultation: Examination, X-rays or 3D scans, and treatment planning
Implant Placement: The implant post is surgically inserted into the jaw under local anaesthetic
Healing Period: 3–6 months for osseointegration (implant bonding with bone)
Abutment Placement: A connector piece is attached to the implant
Final Restoration: A custom-made crown, bridge, or denture is placed onto the implant
Your dentist will provide full aftercare instructions and schedule follow-ups to ensure proper healing and function.

Dental implants are highly successful, but like any surgical procedure, there are potential risks:
Infection at the implant site
Implant failure or rejection (rare)
Nerve damage causing tingling or numbness
Sinus problems (for upper jaw implants)
Gum inflammation or peri-implantitis (if not maintained properly)
Choosing an experienced professional and following aftercare guidance significantly reduces these risks.
When selecting a dental implant provider, consider:
GDC registration and qualifications in implant dentistry
Experience with similar cases and before/after photos
Clear communication about pricing, timelines, and aftercare
In-house 3D imaging or digital planning tools
