Why Dental Implants Are Worth It

Missing teeth? Dental implants are strong, natural-looking, and long-lasting. Unlike dentures, they don’t slip or damage nearby teeth. At Skydent Dental Clinic, we use advanced 3D planning and sterile techniques to restore your smile — safely and beautifully.

Benefits of Implants vs Traditional Options

• Preserves bone and facial structure – implants stimulate bone, preventing the shrinkage seen with dentures.

• Better chewing & speech – unlike loose dentures, implants are fixed and stable.

• Natural appearance – crowns on implants mimic the look & feel of real teeth.

• Longevity – with proper care, implants can last decades; dentures may need frequent replacement.

• No impact on adjacent teeth – unlike bridges which rely on neighbouring teeth for support.

The Implant Process at Skydent

1. Consultation & 3D assessment – to evaluate bone, plan the implant size & positioning.

2. Surgical placement – done under local anaesthesia; we use high-standards sterilisation to ensure safety. 

3. Healing phase (osseointegration) – the implant fuses with the bone (typically 3-6 months).

4. Abutment and crown placement – once healed, the visible restoration is fitted.

5. Maintenance & check-ups – hygienic care and regular visits maintain function and aesthetics.

Who is an Implant Candidate?

Adults in good general health, with sufficient jawbone and healthy gums, are typically eligible. At Skydent, our implantologist evaluates each patient’s unique profile and discusses realistic expectations.

Cost & Timeline Insights

Implants can cost more upfront than dentures, but given the long-term benefits, many patients find them more cost-effective over time. At Skydent, we provide detailed estimates and flexible scheduling to fit your needs.
