Overview
A dental implant is a small titanium post placed in the jawbone, where it acts like the root of a tooth. Once it has healed, a crown is attached to give you a tooth that looks, feels and works much like a natural one.
Implants can replace a single tooth, several teeth or support a bridge, without grinding down neighbouring healthy teeth. Dr. Arash completed advanced training in dental implantology in Pakistan in 2024, and plans each case around your bone, gums and bite.
This may be recommended when
- One or more teeth are missing
- A tooth cannot be saved and needs replacing
- A removable denture feels loose or uncomfortable
- You prefer not to prepare healthy teeth for a bridge
What to expect

Examination and X-ray imaging to check bone and gum health.

- 03
Healing
The bone bonds with the implant over a period of weeks to months.

A custom crown is fitted and your bite is checked.
Aftercare
Clean around your implant as carefully as your natural teeth and keep up regular check-ups. Good hygiene and not smoking are important for long-term success.
Frequently asked questions
Is implant placement painful?
The procedure is carried out under local anaesthetic. Some tenderness afterwards is normal and usually settles within a few days.
Is everyone suitable for implants?
Suitability depends on your general health, bone and gums. This is assessed at your consultation.
