Implants

Losing a permanent tooth affects much more than just the aesthetic beauty of your smile. Gaps left by missing teeth can cause neighboring teeth to shift out of alignment, alter your natural bite, lead to jawbone deterioration, and diminish your self-confidence when eating or speaking. While traditional bridges and dentures offer temporary or surface-level replacements, they do not replace the missing tooth root.

At Hilton Dental Clinic, we provide state-of-the-art dental implants—the gold standard in modern tooth replacement. Operating across three fully equipped branches in Lagos—Lekki, Amuwo, and Sangotedo—our expert dental surgeons deliver permanent, natural-looking tooth replacements designed to restore your full bite strength and protect your long-term facial structure.

All You Need to Know About Dental Implants

Understanding how dental implants function reveals why they are widely considered the closest medical equivalent to growing a brand-new natural tooth:

• What is a Dental Implant? A dental implant is a tiny, medical-grade titanium or zirconium post that is surgically placed into the jawbone to act as an artificial tooth root. Over a brief healing period, the bone fuses directly to the implant in a process called osseointegration.
• The Three Core Components:
  1. The Implant Fixture: The titanium screw embedded securely inside the jawbone.
  2. The Abutment: A small connector piece attached to the post that extends just above the gumline.
  3. The Custom Crown: The visible, tooth-colored porcelain restoration custom-built to match your natural teeth.
• Preserving Jawbone Health: Unlike dentures or bridges that rest on top of the gums, implants stimulate the underlying jawbone, preventing the bone resorption and facial sagging that typically occurs following tooth loss.

The Implant Procedure & Clinical Excellence

At Hilton Dental Clinic, our implant procedure combines advanced digital diagnostic imaging with meticulous surgical technique to ensure safety, comfort, and predictability:

• Comprehensive Initial Consultation: We perform an in-depth oral examination and digital 3D scans to evaluate your bone density and map out the exact anatomical placement for the implant.
• Implant Placement Surgery: Under gentle local anesthesia, our specialist places the titanium post into the jawbone. Thanks to modern techniques, the procedure is surprisingly comfortable and virtually painless.
• Osseointegration (Healing Phase): Over a span of 3 to 6 months, the bone integrates tightly with the implant, creating an unshakeable, permanent foundation.
• Final Crown Placement: Once fully healed, we attach your custom-designed porcelain crown, completing your smile with a restoration that looks, feels, and functions identically to a real tooth.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. Is dental implant surgery painful?

No. The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, ensuring you feel zero pain while the implant is placed. Most patients report experiencing far less discomfort after a dental implant placement than they did during a standard tooth extraction.

2. How long do dental implants last?

With proper daily brushing, flossing, and regular bi-annual checkups at Hilton Dental Clinic, dental implants are designed to be a permanent, lifelong solution for tooth loss.

3. Am I a good candidate for a dental implant?

Most adults in good general and oral health are excellent candidates. Sufficient jawbone density is required to support the post; however, if you have experienced bone loss, procedures like bone grafting can successfully prepare you for implants.

4. How do I clean and care for my dental implants?

Implants require the exact same care as your natural teeth: brushing twice a day, daily flossing around the crown, and visiting our clinic every 6 months for professional cleanings and routine checkups.

5. Can an implant fail?

Implant failure is very rare, boasting a success rate of over 95%. Factors that can compromise an implant include active gum disease, heavy smoking, or uncontrolled systemic conditions like severe diabetes. Our specialists screen for these factors thoroughly during your initial consultation.
