If you are looking for an alternative solution to dentures, then dental implants may be the right choice for you. If you are missing all of your teeth in either your upper or lower jaw, or both jaws, dental implants can support two solutions:
We know that dental implants are typically the most durable solution for damaged or missing natural teeth. They are also proven to be much more long lasting than any other restorative dental treatment available. Therefore, full mouth restoration using dental implants is the optimum solution for reconstructing your jaw.

One option is attaching a metal bar to the 4 implants that are fixed in the patient’s mouth and the removable dentures click into place securely and seamlessly. Alternatively, a fixed bridge can be placed onto the 4 implants.
Another method uses 6 implants being placed into a patient’s mouth to hold a 12-unit bridge. 6 titanium abutments are screwed into the previously placed implants. The bridge is then permanently fixed onto the implants in the patient’s mouth.
The metal bar and screws are made out of titanium, while the abutments are made out of zirconium or titanium. Dentures and bridges are made out of acrylic in order to achieve a natural looking smile. Your dentist will be able to discuss these options with you to find the optimal solution to help restore your smile.
Full mouth implants will preserve the natural shape of your face and will stimulate natural bone and prevent bone loss. They look and feel just like natural teeth.
Dental implants are permanently fixed in place – they won’t fall out. It’s also a great long term investment in improving your quality of life!
If you are looking for a straighter smile, we offer Invisalign® clear aligners, one of the most advanced orthodontic options and the new way to straighten your teeth.
A dental implant is a long lasting solution to missing teeth, be it one tooth or a whole arch. If implants aren’t for you, we also offer a range of other treatments such as dentures.
Cosmetic dentistry should always aim to produce natural-looking results for patients. Our range of cosmetic treatments can help you with teeth.
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
