Dental implants at Dentistry on Merivale, Christchurch. Permanent, natural-looking tooth replacement using biocompatible materials. Free consultation available.

Dental Implants

Missing teeth affect more than just your smile — they can impact your confidence, your ability to eat comfortably, and even your jawbone health. Dental implants offer a permanent, natural-looking solution.

What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are titanium or zirconia posts that are placed into your jawbone, where they fuse with the bone to create a strong, permanent foundation for replacement teeth. A custom-made crown is then attached, creating a restoration that looks and functions just like a natural tooth.

Why Choose Dental Implants?

  • Permanent solution — Implants can last a lifetime with proper care
  • Natural appearance — Custom crowns match your existing teeth
  • Preserves jawbone — Implants stimulate bone growth, preventing deterioration
  • No impact on adjacent teeth — Unlike bridges, implants don’t require altering neighboring teeth
  • Restored function — Eat, speak, and smile with complete confidence
