Dental Implants
Our dental implants Hong Kong service provides a fixed solution for replacing missing teeth. THP Dental offers dental implant treatment at our Central and Repulse Bay clinics, supporting patients who have lost one or more teeth due to decay, gum disease, injury, or other causes.
What Are Dental Implants?
A dental implant, sometimes referred to as a tooth implant, consists of a titanium post that our dentists place into the jawbone. Once the implant bonds with the surrounding bone, our dentists attach a crown, bridge, or denture on top to restore the appearance and function of the missing tooth or teeth. Dental implants can support a single crown, multiple crowns, or a full arch of teeth.
Who Is Dental Implant Treatment Suitable For?
Dental implant treatment may suit patients who have one or more missing teeth and have sufficient jawbone density to support the implant. Before starting treatment, our dentists carry out a detailed assessment, including X-rays and imaging, to evaluate the jawbone and surrounding structures.
Full Mouth Implants
For patients with multiple missing teeth or no remaining teeth, full mouth implant treatment may be an option. Our dentists develop a comprehensive treatment plan based on each patient’s oral health needs and jawbone condition. For more details, see our Full Mouth Reconstruction page.
The Dental Implant Process
Dental implant treatment at THP Dental generally involves several stages:
- Initial consultation and assessment
- Implant placement into the jawbone
- Healing period to allow the implant to bond with the bone
- Attachment of the final crown, bridge, or denture
Our dentists guide patients through each stage of the dental implants Hong Kong process and provide clear information on what to expect at each appointment.
Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Implants
How long does dental implant treatment take?
The overall timeline varies by patient. After the implant is placed, a healing period is generally needed to allow the implant to bond with the jawbone before the final crown, bridge, or denture is attached. Our dentists will outline an expected timeline during your consultation, based on your individual assessment.
Is Dental Implant treatment painful?
We carry out implant placement under local anaesthetic. As with any dental procedure, some discomfort or swelling is common during the healing period. Our dentists will discuss what to expect and how to manage this at your consultation.
What affects the cost of dental implants?
The cost of dental implant treatment depends on factors such as the number of implants needed, whether additional procedures (such as bone grafting) are required, and the type of restoration used. We provide a personalised quote following your assessment.
How long does dental implants last?
With appropriate care and regular dental check-ups, dental implants can offer a long-term solution for missing teeth. Longevity can vary between patients depending on individual oral health and other factors.
Am I a suitable candidate for dental implants?
