A missing tooth can change how you eat, speak and feel about your smile. A dental implant replaces the root of a missing tooth and supports a crown, bridge or other restoration. Planning begins with your oral health, the available bone and the result you want to achieve. The aim is a restoration that feels balanced within your whole smile.
Your consultation confirms suitability, alternatives and the stages of your treatment.
What this treatment can offer
- Replace a missing tooth without a removable plate
- Restore support for everyday chewing
- Plan the shape and shade around your smile
What to expect
Understand your options
An examination, medical history and appropriate imaging help compare implants with bridges, dentures and preserving existing teeth.
Place and allow healing
The implant is placed under an agreed anaesthetic plan. Healing and any temporary restoration depend on your individual situation.
Restore and maintain
Once ready, the final restoration is fitted and the bite checked. Personal cleaning advice and regular reviews support ongoing care.
Dental implant costs and suitability
The cost of a dental implant depends on the examination, any preparatory treatment, the implant components and the final restoration. At your consultation in Elbasan, ask for an itemised plan that explains what is included, the expected visits and ongoing care.
Your questions, answered
Am I suitable for an implant?
Bone, gum health, medical conditions, medicines and smoking all influence suitability. An examination is needed before making a recommendation.
How long does treatment take?
Treatment often involves several stages over months. Grafting and healing can extend the schedule; your plan sets out the expected visits.
Will an implant last forever?
Implants need ongoing care and can develop complications. There is no lifetime guarantee; cleaning, check-ups and early attention to problems matter.
