Dental Implants
Restore missing teeth with titanium implants that look, feel, and function exactly like your natural teeth.
Dental implants are the gold standard for replacing missing teeth. A titanium post is surgically placed into the jawbone where it fuses over time, providing a permanent anchor for a natural-looking crown. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants preserve jawbone density and require no special cleaning routine. At DentRW, we handle the entire process in-house - from assessment and any bone grafting needed, to the final crown placement.

Reserve a slot online in under two minutes, or call +250 785 577 189 and we will find a time that fits.
Arrive and register
Come five minutes early with your ID and insurance card. New patients fill in a short medical history.
Consultation and diagnosis
Your dentist examines you, takes X-rays only if they change the plan, and explains the options in plain language.
Treatment and follow-up
We treat on the day where we can, book any further visits before you leave, and send a reminder for each one.
How to Prepare
- Expect a planning visit with a 3D scan before any surgery is booked.
- Tell us about diabetes, blood thinners, bisphosphonates or any bone medication.
- If you smoke, stopping before and after surgery substantially improves healing.
- Arrange a quiet day after the placement appointment and someone to drive you home.
What to Expect
Treatment involves an initial assessment, implant placement surgery (under local anaesthetic), a healing period of 3–6 months, and finally crown placement. We guide you through every step and every aftercare question.
Who It's For
Adults missing one or more teeth who want a permanent, low-maintenance solution. Good general health and adequate jawbone density are required - we'll assess this at your consultation.

Dental Implants, answered
The questions patients ask us most about this treatment. If yours is not here, call and ask - it costs nothing.
The placement is done under local anaesthetic and most patients compare it to an extraction. Soreness for two to three days afterwards is normal and manageable.
