Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone beneath your gums to replace missing tooth roots. Once in place, they allow your dentist to mount replacement teeth onto them. Unlike dentures or bridges,implants fuse with your jawbone, providing stable support that prevents bone loss and maintains facial structure.
Dental implants replace both the root and crown of missing teeth, providing a complete structural solution
The Three Components of Dental Implants
Why Choose Dental Implants Over Other Options?
Dental implants provide a natural-looking solution that transforms both appearance and function
Natural Look and Feel
Dental implants are designed to look, feel, and function like your natural teeth. They become permanent fixtures in your mouth, eliminating the discomfort and inconvenience of removable dentures.
Prevents Bone Loss
When teeth are missing, the jawbone begins to deteriorate. Dental implants are the only tooth replacement option that stimulates natural bone growth and prevents bone loss.
Long-Term Solution
With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime. Unlike bridges that may need replacement every 5-10 years, implants offer a permanent solution to tooth loss.
Improved Oral Health
Unlike tooth-supported bridges, dental implants don't require reducing adjacent teeth. This means more of your natural teeth are preserved, improving long-term oral health.
Restored Confidence
Dental implants allow you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence,knowing your teeth are secure and your smile looks completely natural.
Convenient Care
Dental implants eliminate the embarrassment and inconvenience of removing dentures. They require the same care as natural teeth—regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups.
Types of Dental Implants Available in Nairobi
Single Tooth Implants
Ideal for replacing one missing tooth, a single implant supports a crown that looks and functions like a natural tooth. This solution preserves adjacent healthy teeth that would otherwise need to be altered to support a bridge.
Implant-Supported Bridges
When several adjacent teeth are missing, implant-supported bridges offer a stable, long-lasting solution. Unlike traditional bridges, they don't rely on neighbouring teeth for support, preserving your natural dental structure.
Full-Arch Restorations
For those missing all teeth in an arch, full-arch restorations supported by 4-6 strategically placed implants provide a fixed, permanent solution that eliminates the need for removable dentures.
Immediate Load Implants
Also known as "same-day implants" or "teeth in a day," immediate load implants allow for the placement of a temporary tooth during the same appointment as your implant placement. This option is available for suitable candidates and eliminates the need to wait months with a missing tooth.

The Dental Implant Procedure at The Periodontist
Your journey begins with a thorough examination including 3D imaging to assess bone volume and quality. Our specialists will discuss your , expectations, and create a personalised treatment plan.
Some patients may require preliminary procedures such as bone grafting or sinus lifts to ensure adequate bone structure for successful implantation.These procedures create the optimal foundation for your implants.
Using precise surgical techniques, the titanium implant is placed into your jawbone. This procedure is typically performed under local anaesthesia with sedation options available for your comfort.
Over the next 3-6 months, the implant fuses with your jawbone through a process called osseointegration. This creates a strong foundation for your newteeth. Temporary restorations may be placed during this period.
Once healing is complete, a small connector post (abutment) is attached to the implant, which will hold your new tooth or teeth.
Finally, your custom-made crown, bridge, or denture is attached to the abutment. These restorations are crafted to match your natural teeth in colour, shape, and size for a seamless smile.
