Dental implants often provide the optimal solution for anyone missing one or more of their natural teeth. Solutions are individually designed for each specific situation, allowing one to eat, laugh and smile naturally. Implant treatment is usually performed under local anaesthetic allowing you to leave the dental clinic with new teeth that function, look and feel just like your own.
The implant is carefully placed in the jawbone, to act as a base for your new tooth. The crown will then be added and the single implant will blend in and function perfectly with the rest of your teeth.
The total duration of your specific treatment depends on many factors. Your dentist will be happy to discuss these with you. If you have a single missing tooth, a single dental implant is often the best solution for you. This has become the first choice for many patients who are missing a tooth from their smile!
If you have one or more missing teeth, dental implants can provide a permanent replacement option. Unlike bridges or dentures, which can be uncomfortable and require frequent replacement, dental implants are designed to last a lifetime.
If you have teeth that are broken or severely damaged, dental implants may be an excellent way to replace them. They can be used to replace a single tooth or multiple teeth, depending on your needs.
With dental implants, you can count on natural looking, securely fixed new teeth and the confidence that goes with it. You will no longer need to worry about chewing, talking or laughing, enabling you to be yourself.
More and more people are discovering that dental implants feel and function like natural teeth. We believe a restored tooth should look natural and blend in with the rest of your teeth. We will design the crown to match in colour, size and shape, so it fits perfectly into the gap left by the missing tooth. Your new tooth will also function like a normal tooth, allowing you to eat, bite and chew with ease.
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
