Professional Dental Implants in Johannesburg
Missing teeth can impact far more than your smile. They can affect your confidence, your bite, and even your long-term oral health.
At our Johannesburg practice, Dr Mark Leipsig offers expert dental implant treatment that restores not just teeth, but quality of life.
Using the latest techniques and a precision-led approach, we deliver permanent, natural-looking results that feel and function like your own teeth.
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are the gold standard for replacing missing teeth. They consist of a small titanium post surgically placed into the jawbone, which acts as an artificial tooth root. Once healed, the implant is topped with a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture to restore form, function, and aesthetics.
Unlike traditional dentures or bridges, implants are anchored securely and designed to last for decades with proper care.
When Are Dental Implants Recommended?
Dental implants may be ideal if you:
Have lost one or more teeth due to injury, decay, or gum disease
Struggle with ill-fitting dentures
Want a permanent, low-maintenance solution
Are looking to restore natural bite strength and facial structure
Have sufficient bone density (or are a candidate for bone grafting)
