Dental Implants have been used as a successful therapy for permanently replacing a tooth or teeth since the 1960s. Modern dental implants are made from titanium – a metal well documented for integrating with human bone.

Dental implants are the ideal permanent way to replace any damaged or missing teeth – whether one single tooth, several teeth, or all of your teeth. It is true that it is best not to delay too long after teeth have been removed as there is a natural process of bone shrinkage following tooth removal. This can make it more difficult to place an implant, but that is not a barrier to implant placement. If you have a gap or dentures, an implant or multiple implants could be a very good choice for you.

If appropriate, we can carry out a CBCT scan for you in the early planning stages which will indicate precisely how much bone is available. If suitable, we can carry out bone grafting procedures at the same time or before implant placement.

Strong and healthy gums are vitally important to achieve a successful implant, as a solid base structure is required. We will discuss your oral health and ways to improve this at your consultation.

All of our treatments are bespoke to each individuals needs and requirements. All costing and treatment plans will be discussed at your consultation with the Dentist and Treatment Coordinator.

During the implant placement, you will be given a local anaesthetic. You may experience a small amount of discomfort for a few days afterwards but this will subside as healing should occur relatively quickly. Your dentist will advise on how to minimise any discomfort.

Yes, you can! Your implant supported teeth will be strong and secure so you will be able to eat, laugh and speak with complete confidence.

Your new teeth will look and feel like real teeth and they will requiring the same care as real teeth too. You should brush and floss your teeth as usual. Continue with regular routine check-ups as advised by your dentist
