What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to replace missing teeth roots. Once integrated, they support crowns, bridges, or dentures — providing a permanent, natural-looking solution that functions just like real teeth.
At Smile Dentistry Gubei, we use internationally recognized implant brands including Straumann and Osstem, trusted by dental professionals worldwide.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are dental implants painful?
The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so you won't feel pain during surgery. Some mild soreness and swelling for 2–3 days after is normal. Most patients are back to their daily routine the next day.
How long do dental implants last?
With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime. The crown typically lasts 10–15 years before needing replacement due to normal wear.
Can I get dental implants if I have been told my bone is too thin?
In many cases, yes. We offer bone grafting procedures to rebuild bone density before implant placement. Our doctors will assess your suitability during the initial consultation.
