Dental Implants

Dental implants are a superior restorative option, used to replace missing teeth in your smile. They can be used for a single tooth or to replace several missing teeth by supporting an aesthetic bridge. We can also use dental implants to replace a full arch of teeth, and to secure a removable denture.

Dental implants are strong titanium posts that are inserted into your jaw to create a new fixed tooth root. They fuse with the surrounding jawbone and become a solid and durable foundation to support a crown or bridge fitted on top.

Dental implants offer many benefits. They are incredibly strong and aesthetic, looking and feeling exactly like a natural tooth and boosting your confidence in your smile. Implants also improve stability and function, enabling you to eat and speak without issues. They are fitted with no detrimental effects to your existing natural teeth, support your facial structure, and keep your teeth in the proper alignment.

Most people are a suitable candidate for dental implants, providing they are in good general and oral health. Some people may need additional treatment, such as a bone graft or sinus lift, to improve the density of bone in their jaw and improve the success rate of the implants. At your initial consultation, we discuss your suitability for dental implants and give our professional advice.

The dental implant procedure involves several appointments, but your new smile is more than worth it in the end! We begin with an initial consultation, where we ensure you are suitable for implants, discuss the process with you, and plan your treatment. The implant is placed during a surgical appointment, and left to heal for several months so it can provide a solid base for your new tooth. Your final crown or bridge is custom-made and fitted on top of your implant to complete your smile.

The cost of dental implants can vary depending on the complexity of your case and the number of implants needed. We are open and honest about the costs for our dental treatment, and will give you a detailed breakdown of costs after your initial consultation. We offer a variety of payment options to help you spread the cost of your implants into monthly instalments – please talk to us to find out more.

You shouldn’t find dental implant treatment painful. We use local anaesthetic during implant surgery to minimise any discomfort and make sure we have explained the treatment process in detail so you know what to expect. If you are feeling particularly nervous, or are worried about potential pain, we also offer sedation.

With proper care and attention, dental implants have the potential to last a lifetime. It is important to look after your implants, including daily brushing and flossing, and regular check-ups with your dentist to ensure no issues are present.
