Implant Dentistry
Tooth loss isn’t just about appearance—it can affect your ability to chew, speak clearly, and feel confident in everyday life. Over time, missing teeth can even change your facial structure and lead to jawbone loss. Thankfully, Dental Implants in the Philippines offer an exceptional solution by providing secure, lifelong replacements that act like natural teeth.

Implant Dentistry Terms Made Simple
What is a Dental Implant?
A dental implant is a small titanium post that acts as an artificial tooth root, surgically placed into the jawbone. Once it integrates, it supports a custom-made restoration—crown, bridge, or denture.
Benefits of Dental Implants
Types of Dental Implants and When They’re Used
Understanding implant types helps you make informed decisions. Here are the most common options at Affinity Dental Clinics:
Ideal for patients missing one tooth. One implant and crown replaces the lost tooth functionally and aesthetically, with no need to alter neighboring teeth.
Used for two or more adjacent missing teeth. Two implants support a fixed bridge—restoring the gap, chewing ability, and smile continuity.
For patients missing all teeth in an arch. Typically uses 4–6 implants to support a full-arch prosthesis, offering new teeth in a day or two.
For patients with sufficient bone; implants and temporary crowns are placed in a single visit, offering quick gratification with temporary function.
Thinner implants used to stabilize removable dentures in low-bone cases. Less invasive, more cost-effective option.
Replace removable dentures with bar-retained or ball-retained options that connect to implants for enhanced stability.
Are You a Candidate for Dental Implants?
Choosing where to get dental implants is a major decision—here’s why Affinity Dental Clinics stands apart:
Bone Quantity & Density
Adequate bone is vital for successful implant integration. If bone is lacking, we can safely perform regenerative procedures like bone grafting or sinus lifts.
Medical History
Certain conditions—like uncontrolled diabetes or heavy smoking—can affect healing. However, many are manageable with proper treatment planning.
Oral Health
A healthy mouth with minimal gum disease and good hygiene is critical. Teeth alignment, bite pattern, and soft tissue condition also play roles.
Realistic Expectations
We set realistic goals based on your case complexity, appearance standards, timeline, and budget—starting from your first consultation.
Pre‑Implant Preparatory Treatments
Some patients require additional steps to ensure implant success:
When the jaw bone is insufficient, grafting using synthetic or human-derived bone can build up strong support—whether after tooth loss or trauma.
If the upper back jaw bone is too low due to sinus proximity, our surgeons gently lift the sinus membrane and place bone material—making implants viable.
After extraction, this technique preserves the socket by placing bone graft material—an ideal preparation for future implant placement.
In the lower jaw, we carefully plan implant placement away from the mandibular nerve using CBCT imaging and precise surgical mapping to prevent complications.
What You Can Expect at Each Stage
Initial Consultation
With comprehensive medical history review, dental examination, and imaging, your surgeon crafts a complete treatment roadmap.
Surgical Placement
Performed in a clean operating environment, under local anesthesia or sedation. Surgical duration ranges from 30 minutes to 2 hours.
Healing Phase (Osseointegration)
Implants fuse with bone over time. Healing and bone integration monitored over 4–6 months.
Prosthetic Phase
Your prosthesis—zirconia crown, bridge, or denture—is created in our lab for precision and comfort.
Final Delivery
The restoration is attached, occlusion adjusted, and maintenance techniques taught.
Post‑Operative Care & Long-Term Maintenance
Post-Operative Care & Long-Term Maintenance:
Brush twice daily with a soft toothbrush. Use floss or interdental brushes, and rinse with a recommended antimicrobial mouthwash.
Schedule cleanings every 3–6 months. Our team uses gentle AirFlow cleaning to remove buildup around implants without scratching or damaging surfaces.
Yearly X-rays and evaluations confirm bone stability, proper implant integration, and the overall health of your restoration.
International Patient Testimonials
Clinical Excellence Recognized Across Continents: Evidence-Based Patient Outcomes from Affinity Dental Clinics' International Practice
I couldn't get better treatment if I asked. Very good. Well done. Good Job... Had a great experience—love my new dental implants—highly recommended!
1 year and 8 months of significant dental restoration involving lots of implants, many of them only after grafting to restore receded bones. Dr. Jerome and his team did a tremendous job, always punctual, professional, precise, patient, never accepting less than perfect. If I had any suggestions how to improve the result, they would not hesitate to implement that - but it's just perfect. It was not cheap, but compared to other offers, absolutely reasonable for this amount of professional effort.
I had four dental implants. After four months, a dental bridge was placed along with other bridges and crowns. The result was amazing and my smile has never been more beautiful in my life. Thank you for giving me back my confidence to smile my best in time for my Wedding.
I had my 5 bone grafts in New York and I wasn't very excited finishing it there. For one thing, it's very expensive... so the work that has been done over the past few months has been excellent. I'm very happy with the staff, the service and the facilities and I have recommended your company and Dr. Trish to all my friends.
These documented patient experiences represent a comprehensive spectrum of implant dentistry procedures, from single-tooth replacements to full-arch rehabilitations, demonstrating measurable improvements in both functional outcomes and patient-reported quality of life measures across diverse international demographics.
FAQs About Dental Implants in the Philippines

How long do implants last?

Is bone grafting painful?
Bone grafts are performed under safe anesthesia. The healing phase may involve mild swelling or discomfort but is very manageable.

Failures occur in fewer than 5% of cases. When they do, we carefully evaluate the cause, remove the implant if needed, and plan revision using improved protocols.
