Specialist Implant & Periodontal Care for Missing Teeth
Missing teeth can affect more than just appearance — they may impact eating, speaking, and long‑term oral health.
At Perio Implant Harmony, we provide specialist diagnosis and individually planned dental implant treatment options for replacing one or several missing teeth. Our approach focuses on precision, evidence-based techniques, and personalised planning to support oral function and appearance over the long term.
Led by a registered specialist periodontist, our team combines clinical expertise with careful treatment planning to help patients make informed decisions about their care.
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone to replace the root of a missing tooth. Over time, the implant fuses with the bone through a process called osseointegration, creating a strong, stable foundation for a crown, bridge, or other prosthetic.
Dental implants are securely placed in the jawbone and are designed to support the function and appearance of missing teeth. For many patients, they offer a fixed alternative to removable options such as dentures or bridges, and can play a role in long-term oral health when appropriately planned and maintained.
When Are Implants Needed?
Dental implants are one of several treatment options available for replacing missing teeth, and may be considered for patients who have lost one or more teeth due to:
Decay or infection
Gum disease
Trauma or injury
Failed root canal treatment
Congenitally missing teeth
Whether you’re missing a single tooth or several, implants can help restore the appearance and function of your smile.
Our Implant Solutions
Single Tooth Replacement
A dental implant can be placed in the area of a missing tooth, where it integrates with the jawbone to support a custom-made crown. This approach allows the replacement of an individual tooth without modifying adjacent teeth, as may be the case with other treatment options.
Multiple Tooth Replacement
For patients missing two or more adjacent teeth, multiple implants may be used to support individual crowns or an implant-supported bridge. This can offer a fixed alternative to removable appliances, with treatment tailored to restore oral function and maintain long-term oral health.
The Treatment Process
At Perio Implant Harmony, we guide you through every step of your implant journey, ensuring you feel informed and supported throughout.
1. Consultation & Planning
A thorough examination, including imaging and bone assessment, is completed to determine implant suitability. We also review your medical history and discuss your goals.
2. Surgical Placement
The dental implant is carefully placed into the jawbone under local anaesthesia. Our specialist uses advanced techniques to optimise healing and reduce discomfort.
3. Healing Period
Over the next few months, the implant integrates with your bone. Temporary solutions may be provided if needed.
4. Restoration
Once healing is complete, your dentist or restorative provider places a custom-designed crown, bridge, or prosthesis over the implant, completing your treatment.
We work closely with your general dentist throughout the process to ensure the final result looks and feels seamless.
