Dental implants are a highly effective method for regaining your smile. Implants can durably fill out unsightly gaps caused by missing teeth. Unlike traditional dentures, implants offer more stability and function.
Full mouth restoration with implants is highly cost-effective with All-on-4 and All-on-6 systems. Some patients can also bypass bone grafting, which costs extra, with All-on-4 or zygomatic implants (for the upper jaw).
We only use European-quality titanium implants with zirconia or porcelain crowns. Subpar implants or crowns increase the medical risks. Prime Smile adheres to international standards to keep implant procedures safe and effective.
Each procedure is administered following a careful medical evaluation and your budget considerations. Your dentist will recommend the best implant type for your condition. You will be advised on additional procedures, such as sinus lifts, if necessary. 251
First, your dentist will evaluate your oral health through X-rays and examinations to determine whether you qualify for implants. They will assess your bone density and gum health, then build a personalised treatment plan.
Next, your surgeon will insert the implants under local anaesthesia. Over the following weeks, the implant will bond with the bone through a process called osseointegration, forming a stable foundation for your restoration.
Depending on the implant type, you may receive your artificial teeth on the day of the procedure or after recovery. These include the abutment and crown, or bridges for All-on-4 and All-on-6 treatments.
For every implant type, you will need to wait at least six months for full bone integration before your permanent teeth are placed. You will also attend follow-up appointments so your dentist can monitor your progress.
Dental implants provide an exceptional level of stability that dentures simply cannot match. They will not slip or shift while you eat or speak, allowing you to go about your day without worry.
Missing teeth can significantly affect your appearance and self-confidence. Dental implants fill gaps with natural-looking crowns that blend with your existing teeth, helping you restore the smile you used to have.
Many patients with multiple missing teeth have to resort to a soft food diet. Dental implants restore full chewing function, letting you enjoy the foods you love without restriction or pain.

In Sri Lanka, dental implants can cost from Rs. 150,000 to Rs. 300,000, or more, depending on the complexity of the procedure. Costs vary depending on the implant type, the number of teeth being replaced, and whether additional procedures such as bone grafting are required.
Most people heal within 1-2 weeks from the initial implant placement, but you will need at least 6 months for the implants to integrate with the jawbone. Healing times widely vary between patients, depending on individual constitution and the types of implants they receive.
The complete dental implant process typically takes three to six months to complete, starting from your initial consultation to fitting your permanent teeth. The lower jaw generally heals faster than the upper jaw.
With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime. The crown or bridge attached to the implant may need replacement after 10 to 15 years, depending on wear. Regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups every six months will significantly extend the lifespan of your implants.
