Your closest alternative to a natural, healthy tooth - Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that provide a permanent base for fixed, replacement teeth. Compared to dentures, bridges and crowns, dental implants are a popular and effective long-term solution for people who have missing teeth. Because they fit, feel and function like natural teeth, dental implants have become the new standard in tooth replacement.

The loss of a single tooth can have serious repercussions for the rest of your mouth, but with dental implants, it’s like you never lost a tooth at all. The absence of even one tooth will cause surrounding teeth to shift and weaken over time. The jaw structure is compromised because the root of the missing tooth is also gone. The bone will shrink in this area. Dental implants are actually rooted into the jaw, much like a natural tooth, which helps to support and stabilize the surrounding teeth and preserve the jaw bone.
At Pearl-E-Whites, doctors use a medical-grade titanium implant fixture that, over time, actually fuses to the living bone cells of the jaw. This union forms a strong and durable anchor for your new teeth, meaning there’s no slippage or other movement (which can sometimes happen with dentures). There are also no problems eating with dental implants, no need to repair them regularly and no more worrying about smiling freely and openly.
You can use dental implants to replace a single tooth, multiple teeth or a full upper and/or lower set of teeth. If you need to restore a full arch, you may be a perfect candidate for the all-on-four treatment. Our surgeons will place four implants and then attach a full arch of teeth, giving the procedure its name (all teeth, only four implants).
Just as dental implants have emerged as the preferred choice for tooth replacement, the Pearl-E-Whites approach has become the preferred model for dental implant treatment. Our team of experts works together under one roof to build beautiful smiles in a way that works for our patients.
One team. One cost. One location. That’s the real beauty of dental implants from Pearl-E-Whites.
Implants are placed directly into the jawbone - rather like the roots of natural teeth - and are made of metal. Over time, the bone fuses with the metal implant. A small attachment is left poking through the gum and dentures, crowns or bridges can be screwed or clipped onto this attachment.
Once the dental implants are placed, they will need two to three months to fully integrate with the surrounding bone and gum tissue. If you have a set of dentures, you may wear them while your implants are integrating. Once the dental implants are secure, a mould will be made of the space, and a crown will be made to fit. The crown will be secured to the implant, and can only be removed by a dentist.
Dental implants have a very high success rate. However, implants are not suitable for everyone. You need to be medically fit and have healthy gums and a sufficient thickness of jawbone. You will need to be assessed by the Implantologist (a specialist dentist for Implants) who will determine your suitability for this option.
A dental implant procedure is not only safe, but it is perhaps one of the safest surgical procedures performed in modern dentistry. The titanium in an implant is completely biocompatible and easily ‘accepted’ by the body as a tooth replacement.

The placement of dental implants is a multi-step process that typically takes between 3 to 4 months to complete. It begins with a surgical procedure during which a titanium screw is placed where a previous natural tooth root once was. The gums are sutured shut over the implant, where is will stay for several months while it heals and begins fusing with the surrounding bone. Due to the nature of implant placement and its average procedure time of between 1 and 2 hours, you’ll be sedated and/or anaesthetised for the duration of the treatment. At the conclusion of the healing period, you’ll return to be fitted for permanent crowns and have them placed.
Dental implants require maintenance similar to natural teeth. To care for dental implants, you only need to brush and floss just as you would natural teeth. Implants don't get cavities but can get gum disease similar to natural teeth so regular maintenance with the dentist and hygienist is recommended. With dental implants, you may forget you were ever missing a tooth to begin with.
