What are dental implants
Dental implants are replacement tooth roots that support crowns, bridges, or other restorations.
Dental implants are replacement tooth roots used to replace missing teeth and restore function, stability, and appearance.nnFor the implant to bond successfully you need adequate bone density and a healthy immune system. A titanium post is placed as an anchor, and once healed a custom crown is attached - giving you a permanent, natural-looking tooth replacement, all completed comfortably while you sleep.
Treatment time:
1-2 visits. Osseointegration (healing) takes 3-6 months.
Best for:
Adults with one or more missing teeth, adequate bone density, and dental anxiety.
May include:
Bone graft, sinus lift, tooth extraction, crown or bridge, IV sedation or General Anesthesia.
Why choose sedation for implants
For many patients, sedation makes implant treatment feel far more approachable. It can help reduce anxiety, improve comfort, and allow more dentistry to be completed efficiently in fewer visits.

All you need to know about dental implants
Implants
If you are missing teeth and are uncomfortable with the idea of an appliance, a dental implant is a permanent solution that replaces your natural tooth with an artificial one that mimics its look and feel. A titanium structure is placed into your jawbone as an anchor the artificial tooth will be placed onto. It is common for implants to be the anchoring point for dentures. However, your dentist must first establish if you are a good candidate for a dental implant. For the implant to successfully bond to your existing jaw, you must have the proper bone density and a strong immune system.

Frequently asked questions.
Am I a good candidate for dental implants?
Most adults with missing teeth are candidates. You need adequate jawbone density, healthy gums, and a strong immune system. We assess all of this at your free consultation, including whether a bone graft is needed first.
Can I have dental implants done under sedation?
Yes – this is exactly what we specialise in. All implant procedures at Dental Sedation Centers are completed under IV sedation or General Anesthesia. You sleep through the entire process and wake up with the work done.
How long does the implant process take?
The surgical placement takes 1-2 visits under sedation. After that, the implant needs 3-6 months to fuse with the jawbone (osseointegration) before the final crown is fitted. We manage the full process.
Is the procedure painful?
No. Under IV sedation or General Anesthesia you are completely comfortable throughout. Post-procedure soreness is normal and manageable with standard pain relief.
How long do dental implants last?
With proper care, the implant root can last a lifetime. The crown on top may need replacing after 10-20 years depending on wear. They are the longest-lasting tooth replacement option available.
Does insurance cover dental implants under sedation?
We work with most insurance companies. Call us to verify your specific coverage before your first visit.
