What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots surgically placed into the jawbone to support a replacement tooth or bridge.
Made of biocompatible materials like titanium, they fuse with the jawbone over time, creating a sturdy foundation for the replacement tooth. In essence, they act as permanent teeth.
The advantages of dental implants over other tooth replacement options include their natural appearance, durability, comfort, and their ability to preserve bone structure and prevent further tooth loss.
Types
At Hills Dental Studio, we offer several types of dental implants to cater to different patient needs:
- Endosteal Implants: These are the most common type, resembling small screws, and are placed directly into the jawbone.
- Subperiosteal Implants: Placed on top of the jawbone but beneath the gum line, they are ideal for patients with limited bone height or those who cannot wear dentures.
- Zygomatic Implants: Longer than other types, they anchor into the cheekbone and are suitable for patients with significant bone loss in the upper jaw.
- All-on-4 Implants: Using only four implants to support a full set of teeth, this technique provides maximum support and stability.
- Mini Implants: Smaller in diameter than traditional implants, they can support dentures or replace a single tooth.
Preparation
The type of implant used depends on the patient’s specific needs and the amount of available jawbone. Preparing for a dental implant procedure includes:
- Consultation with a dentist or oral surgeon to evaluate your suitability for the procedure.
- A review of your medical history to ensure safety.
- X-rays and CT scans to assess bone density and quality.
- Cleaning and treatment of any existing dental issues.
- Anesthesia options tailored to your comfort.
Pre-surgery instructions for a smooth procedure.
Procedure
Dental implant procedures involve replacing missing teeth with artificial tooth roots that are surgically placed into the jawbone.
Here is what patients can expect during the procedure:
- Numbing and Anesthesia ensure your comfort.
- An incision is made in the gum to expose the jawbone.
- A hole is drilled in the bone for implant placement.
- The implant, usually titanium, is inserted into the bone.
- A healing period allows the implant to integrate with the bone.
- An abutment is placed on the implant.
- A custom-made crown is attached to the abutment, completing the procedure.
While some discomfort is expected, our practice minimizes it with pain relief medication and antibiotics to prevent infection.
Follow post-operative instructions diligently for a successful recovery.

How long do dental implants last?
Dental implants are designed to last a lifetime with proper care and maintenance. However, the longevity of your dental implant depends on factors such as your oral hygiene, overall health, and the quality of the implant materials and techniques used.
Can I eat normally with dental implants?
Yes, one of the advantages of dental implants is that they function like natural teeth, so you can eat a wide range of foods without any restrictions. However, it’s important to maintain good oral hygiene to prevent any complications or damage to the implant.
How much does tooth implant cost in South Africa?

Are you put to sleep for dental implants?
