Like most dentistry, dental implants require proper care and cleaning postoperatively. For this reason, we advise regular visits with the hygienist and dentist.
This way, we can pick up any signs of deterioration earlier rather than later.
At The Perfect Smile Studios, we achieve our results using the latest technology for these treatments. We want to give you a confident, long-lasting smile when assessing and offering treatment options for your dental implants.
Dental Implants Can Last a Lifetime
But Only if They Are Taken Care of.
“If treated correctly, dental implants can last from ten to 25 years or more.” After completing treatment, dental implants need to be cared for properly. Dental implants aren’t immune or invincible.
Take note of these factors that can affect the longevity of your implant:
- General Oral Hygiene. A dental implant still needs to be brushed regularly. Flossing and daily brushing prevent bacteria and plaque from building up around your teeth and gums. Otherwise, gum disease around implants, called Peri-Implantitis, can occur.
- Watch What You Chew. A new dental implant isn’t indestructible. Stop biting habits such as chewing on pens, and don’t strain or overuse your teeth too much.
Our dentists have many years of experience in performing dental implant surgery. We will advise you on how to take care of your particular implants.
Our Dental Implants Give Patients Lasting Results
We take great pride: we offer our patients the opportunity to get the perfect smile that they are proud to have.
It is essential to understand that dental implants enhance your smile and improve your health.
There are numerous benefits to getting a dental implant that can improve the quality of your lifestyle.
- Improve Your Oral Health: Dental implants reduce the chances of periodontal disease. They prevent the neighbouring teeth from moving, rotating and twisting out of place. These movements can open up spaces in your mouth that are difficult to clean, thus leading to future gum disease. Dental implants close up holes left by missing teeth, thus preventing the movement of other teeth.
- Restores Your Natural Smile: Missing teeth can cause anxiety or lack confidence when socialising. A dental implant will revitalise your smile and restore confidence in your teeth, giving you your perfect smile.
- Longevity: Not only are dental implants safe, but solid and durable. With a 95% success rate for implants after ten years, dental implants remain a popular, safe solution for replacing missing teeth.
- Bite Balance: Dental implants are ideal for restoring your bite balance. Because of missing teeth, you naturally rely upon and apply more pressure on other teeth around missing teeth. Dental implants restore missing gaps and improve your bite harmony and stabilise your dentition to a natural level.

Pain-free
At The Perfect Smile, we understand that patients may be naturally nervous when thinking of undergoing dental implant surgery.
We want to reassure you that the dental implant treatment is not painful due to the proper use of local anaesthetics to numb the bone and gum deeply.
We can also use sedation techniques that also contribute to no pain or discomfort. More.
Treatment Plan
- Step 1: We will start the process with a highly detailed and thorough comprehensive examination and assessment. We will then construct a customised treatment plan and design your implant treatment.
- Step 2: An implantologist surgically places your new implant(s) in your mouth.
- Step 3: We will assess your healing on this review appointment and make sure everything is going as planned.
- Step 4: The dentist records and impressions to construct the implant’s top part (post and crown).
- Step 5: The dentist will fit the final part of the implant (post and crown).
- Step 6: Your final appointment allows you to have any further refining cosmetic enhancements or minor adjustments.
Fast Process
- Minimal appointments: Unlike traditional dental implant surgery, you will need fewer appointments
- No lengthy treatment time: The healing time is fast and effective, though individual to each person.
Bone Quality
- When you lose a tooth, the surrounding bone that holds the tooth in place will diminish in height, width, and volume. This may affect the immediate and final appearance of the gum tissue in this area and possibly the surrounding teeth.
- The larger the width of bone or the height of the bone, the wider and longer implant can be. A wider and longer implant increases implant stability and thus success. We assess the bone height and width by taking digital radiographs or by taking a CT Scan. More.

Implant FAQs
- Will Dental Implants Last a Lifetime? Once the implant has fused with your jawbone and tissues, the artificial titanium implant acts as an ordinary root. The longevity of your implant depends on how you improve and maintain your oral health.
- Does a Dental Implant Hurt? When we place the implant, we make sure the procedure is pain-free. We offer a range of sedation and techniques suitable for nervous patients.
- How Old Do I Have to Be for a Dental Implant? There isn’t an age limit for dental implants. However, our dentists recommend that you have to be over 18 for the dental implant procedure.
- Is a Dental Implant Treatment Safe? We also use extensive planning systems to ensure the implant treatment is successful.
- Are Dental Implants Worth It? A dental implant offers a wealth of oral health benefits. An implant can improve your smile, realign neighbouring teeth, protect your mouth from gum disease, etc.
-
Is the Process Painful? You can expect to feel pain with a new implant; however, the discomfort is kept to a minimum with modern anaesthetics. Nevertheless, post-process, there can be some swelling and aching for 5 -10 days. Many patients have multiple implants in a single day without undue pain or distress.

Implant Guide
Implants are colour matched and then shaped to blend in with your existing teeth. To the naked eye, an implant is very hard to spot.
Successful Dental Implants Can Last a Lifetime
Once the implant has fused with your jawbone and tissues, the artificial titanium implant acts as an ordinary root.
When we implant a titanium implant into the jawbone, it becomes part of your oral foundation.
This offers several health benefits that include preventing any bone loss whilst supporting the jawbone structure and reducing the risk of gum disease. More.
“If treated correctly, dental implants can last from ten to twenty-five years or more.”
Dental implants can help with:
- Teeth lost to trauma, accident or injury
- Missing teeth caused by gum disease or lack of bone
- Replace old, worn or broken dentures
- Implant integrated treatments like Implant-Retained Dentures
- Removable and fixed options
- Replace individual tooth loss or full arches in one sitting
The longevity of your implant depends on how you improve and maintain your oral health. Read more.
