What are dental implants?

Dental implants are a safe, successful, and highly aesthetic way to replace one or more missing teeth in any part of your mouth. They are a modern and innovative dental restoration, using strong titanium posts to mimic the root of a missing tooth and support a natural-looking crown or bridge on top.

Over time, the titanium implant integrates and fuses with the surrounding jawbone, becoming a solid and durable foundation. Your new tooth functions exactly like a natural one, meaning you can eat, talk, and laugh in public without the worry that your restoration will slip or move. Your quality of life, confidence and self-esteem transforms as much as your smile does!

What does dental implant treatment involve?

Consultation and planning

During your initial consultation, we examine your mouth and ensure you are suitable for dental implant treatment. We discuss the process in detail with you and take advanced digital scans and images. These are used to form your treatment plan and identify the optimum positions for your dental implants.

Implant surgery

The implant surgery itself is a relatively quick procedure. We place the titanium implant into the carefully planned place in your jaw, using local anaesthetic to minimise any discomfort. The implant takes around 3-6 months to heal and fuse with your jawbone, so we fit a temporary tooth to protect your gum during this time.

Your new smile

When your implant has fully healed and become a solid foundation, we create and fit your custom-made and natural-looking crown, bridge or denture to complete your smile. We give you some advice for long-term care of your implant and leave you to enjoy smiling with confidence!

Implant-retained dentures

If you are missing a full arch of teeth, or are tired of loose and uncomfortable dentures, we can use dental implants to provide a solid anchor. Implant-retained dentures can increase stability, improve function, and support your facial structure. They are a very effective option for people unable or unwilling to use traditional removable dentures, and can enhance your quality of life and ability to eat and speak.

If you have been without natural teeth for a long time, you may have substantial bone loss in your jaw, which means it may not be possible to wear a denture successfully. Implant-retained dentures give us the ability to fit two or more strategically placed implants to secure your denture in place. They also remove the risk of sore spots or irritation, making them a popular option.

Frequently asked questions

Does dental implant treatment hurt?

Dental implant surgery does not hurt, as we use local anaesthetic to numb the affected area and help you remain comfortable. You may experience some discomfort after treatment, but this can be managed with pain relief advised by your dentist. Implant treatment is often less painful than having a tooth extraction.

How do I clean my implants?

Simply treat your implants just like natural teeth and include them in your regular oral hygiene routine. While implants themselves can’t decay, you still need to brush and floss to keep the surrounding gums healthy and prevent problems.

How long does dental implant treatment take?

The entire process, from missing teeth to permanent replacements, can take a few months. Implant surgery itself is quick, but the implants need 3-6 months to heal and fuse before permanent teeth can be attached. The process might be longer if you need a bone graft first, but the wait will be worth a beautiful new smile!

How long do implants last?

With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime! This means excellent brushing and flossing, maintaining good overall health, and regular dental checkups. The crown or bridge on the implant may eventually need replacing due to wear and tear.

Will people notice I have implants?

No! Dental implants look and feel just like natural teeth. Your final crown or bridge is custom-made to perfectly match the shape and colour of your existing teeth, ensuring a seamless, natural-looking smile.

Are there alternatives to implants?

Bridges and dentures are other options for restoring missing teeth. They’re generally less expensive than implants, but lack the superior stability, aesthetics, and versatility of implants. They also tend to not last as long. We can discuss all the options to find the best solution for you.

Will speaking be difficult with implants?

Actually, it might be easier! Because implants are fused to your jawbone and securely support your replacement teeth, speaking shouldn’t be a problem. Filling the gap in your teeth may even improve the way you speak.
