What Is a Dental Implant?

A dental implant is a surgical component placed within the jawbone, designed to replicate the function of a natural tooth root and provide stable, long-term support for prosthetic restorations.

At Yiannikos Centre for Holistic Dentistry, we use zirconia implants as our material of choice — for reasons that are both clinical and biological:

  • Zirconia is a metal-free, biocompatible material with no risk of corrosion or ion release
  • It offers high structural strength and long-term dimensional stability
  • It supports a favourable soft-tissue response and predictable osseointegration

The Implant Treatment Process

The ceramic implant process is carried out in three defined stages: surgical placement of the implant, a structured healing phase, and placement of the final restoration.

Following implant placement, an adequate healing period is observed before the restoration is fitted — allowing for stable osseointegration prior to loading.

At Yiannikos Centre for Holistic Dentistry, we incorporate autologous growth factors (PRF) to support tissue healing and optimise biological integration at the implant site.

Frequently asked questions

Most patients with one or more missing teeth are eligible following clinical evaluation.
Contraindications include advanced periodontal disease, insufficient bone volume, and uncontrolled systemic conditions such as diabetes or osteoporosis.

Dental implants provide long-term stability and durability compared to alternative tooth replacement options.
They replicate the appearance and function of natural teeth while supporting overall oral health and structural integrity.

The primary limitation is the initial financial investment compared to alternative tooth replacement options.
However, long-term performance and durability often justify the overall cost.

The cost of dental implants varies based on the number of implants, materials selected, and clinical complexity. Investment for a single implant is determined following a precise clinical assessment, ensuring a treatment plan tailored to your individual needs.

Coverage depends on your individual insurance plan and specific policy terms. Verification with your provider is required to determine eligibility and reimbursement level.

A zirconium dental implant is a metal-free, biocompatible fixture placed into the jawbone to replicate the function of a natural tooth root. It provides stable support for restorations while ensuring high biological compatibility, mechanical strength, and reduced risk of allergic reactions.

The procedure includes surgical placement, a healing phase, and final restoration. Duration ranges from 30 minutes to 4 hours, depending on the number of implants and case complexity.

Clinical steps include removal of the damaged tooth if required, controlled gingival access, and precise implant placement into the jawbone. Following osseointegration and tissue healing over several months, an abutment is placed and the final restoration is secured.

Post-operative discomfort is typically minimal, with possible swelling, minor bleeding, and localized soreness. Successful osseointegration ensures stable, functional replacement of the natural tooth. Strict oral hygiene and regular professional follow-up are essential to maintain peri-implant health and long-term results.

Dental implants demonstrate a high long-term success rate, typically exceeding 90% under proper clinical conditions.

Proper maintenance requires disciplined oral hygiene, including twice-daily brushing and daily flossing. Regular professional examinations are essential, along with avoidance of excessive mechanical stress from hard foods.

The overall risk profile is low under proper clinical protocols. Potential complications include infection, peri-implant bone loss, and rare cases of implant failure.

Untreated tooth loss can lead to periodontal disease, caries in adjacent teeth, and progressive bone resorption. It may also result in occlusal imbalance and visible facial structural changes over time.
