Dental Implants
Dental implants are biocompatible titanium or zirconia roots that replace missing teeth and support crowns, bridges or full-arch prostheses. At Auraliss, implant care is planned digitally with CBCT, intraoral scanning and guided surgery to achieve precise, comfortable and long-lasting results.
Why Choose Implants?
Fixed & Natural
Eat, speak and smile with confidence—no movement, no adhesives.
Preserve Bone
Implants stimulate the jawbone and help maintain facial structure after tooth loss.
Protect Teeth
No need to grind healthy neighbours, unlike traditional tooth-supported bridges.
Proven Longevity
High long-term success when planned well and maintained with good hygiene.
Who Is a Candidate?
- Single or multiple missing teeth with adequate bone volume
- Full-arch restoration (e.g., All-on-4/All-on-6) for loose or failing teeth/dentures
- Healthy gums and good oral hygiene habits
- Non-smoker or willing to reduce/stop during healing
- Controlled medical conditions (assessed individually)
Suitability is confirmed with a clinical examination and CBCT bone scan.
Implant Treatment Options
- Single-Tooth Implant: Replaces one tooth with an implant + ceramic crown.
- Implant Bridge: Two or more implants support multiple missing teeth.
- Immediate Implant: Placed at the same time as an extraction (case dependent).
- Immediate Loading: Same-day temporary teeth in selected cases with high stability.
- Full-Arch (All-on-4/6): Screw-retained bridge on multi-unit abutments.
Treatment Workflow
- Consultation & CBCT: Bone/nerve mapping, photos and smile/bite analysis.
- Digital Planning: Prosthetic-driven positioning and (where indicated) guided surgery.
- Surgery: Atraumatic placement under local anaesthesia; sedation options available.
- Healing (Osseointegration): Typically 8–12 weeks for single sites, longer for grafted areas.
- Restoration: Digital scan, custom abutment (if needed) and final ceramic crown/bridge.
Components & Materials
We use high-grade titanium implants for predictable osseointegration. Restorations are typically lithium disilicate or zirconia ceramics for strength and aesthetics. For full-arch cases, we employ multi-unit abutments to deliver a screw-retained, retrievable bridge.
Aftercare & Maintenance
Soft diet during early healing, meticulous daily cleaning (interdental brushes/water flosser) and regular hygiene visits are essential. Nightguards are advised for clenchers/grinders to protect ceramics and implant components.
Success, Risks & Considerations
Modern implants have high success rates. Potential risks include early failure (rare), temporary swelling/bruising, screw loosening, or prosthetic chipping—usually manageable with review and maintenance. Smoking and uncontrolled gum disease increase complications; we stabilise these before treatment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Local anaesthesia keeps you comfortable; most patients report less discomfort than a tooth extraction.
With excellent hygiene and regular reviews, implants can last for many years; the crown may need replacement over time due to wear.
Not always. CBCT analysis guides whether grafting or sinus lift is necessary; many cases can be managed flapless or with short/angled implants.
Provisional teeth may be fitted immediately in selected cases; final ceramics are typically placed after 8–16 weeks of healing.
