What are Dental Implants?

Dental implants offer a stable, secure and natural looking solution for missing teeth. They are highly advanced in dental restoration and a truly modern way to fill in the gaps in your smile. Implants offer a fixed new tooth root, using titanium posts placed into your jawbone to support a crown or bridge.

Titanium is widely used for dental implants as it is well tolerated by the body. Over several months, the titanium root fuses to the surrounding bone in the jaw, becoming a strong and durable foundation.

Why choose Dental Implants?

Whether you are looking to replace a single tooth or multiple missing teeth, we can use dental implants to provide a stable foundation for life. Implants allow you to regain the function, look and feel of your natural teeth, without the worry that your restoration will slip or fail.

A missing tooth can significantly impact your life, especially with the way you eat, speak and feel. A gap can cause your facial shape to lose structure, as your gum can shrink and remaining teeth move over time. Dental implants not only restore your smile, they can greatly improve your quality of life and self-confidence. You no longer have to worry about avoiding certain foods and can feel happy about showing off your smile again.

About Dr Imran Nasser

Our Practice Principal Dr Imran Nasser is highly experienced in dental implants field.

He graduated from Bristol University in 2006 where he received the awards in Periodontology (management of the gums) and Prosthetics (replacement of teeth).

Having completed hospital posts at Bristol Dental Hospital and Royal United Hospital Bath in Oral & Maxillofacial Surgery from 2007-2009, he was awarded his Fellowship in Dental Surgery in 2009 from the Royal College of Surgeons.

He began placing implants in 2010 and in 2014 was awarded a Master’s degree with Distinction in Implantology.

In 2018, Imran completed an Advanced Surgical Fellowship under Professor Urban at the Bone Regeneration Institute which allows him to routinely use the latest innovative techniques in the provision of implant treatment, bone & soft tissue regeneration procedures.

His desire to meet patient expectations remains at the forefront of his treatment approach and his level of experience allows him to manage the most complex of cases in a predictable manner. To this end, Imran accepts referrals from practitioners from other parts of the UK for the replacement of teeth with implants, bone grafting, and sinus grafting surgery.

Imran is also actively involved in mentoring and teaching other dentists in improving their cosmetic and surgical dentistry. This takes the form of shadowing, direct supervision in clinic, teaching face-to-face, lecturing and speaking at conferences to larger groups. In 2022, he wrote a book to help dentists with aspects of cosmetic and implant dentistry and launched a teaching programme based at Tower Bridge, London (www.aestheticprosthetic.com). In 2023, he wrote a second manual for experienced dentists focussing on surgical dentistry and this is combined with a teaching programme in London (www.15-c.com/ridgepreservation).

Imran has won many awards for his implant cases, from the Aesthetic Dentistry Awards in 2021, winning the multiple implants category, to winning the Clinical Dentistry awards for a single implant in 2022 and most recently he picked up two more Awards at the latest UK Aesthetic Dentistry Awards 2023. He was highly commended in the single implant category and was judged to be the overall winner in the restorative single tooth ceramic category. The Aesthetic Dentistry Awards have always been recognised as the ultimate award due to the expert judging panel and rigorous process.

What does the process for Dental Implant treatment involve?

Dental implant treatment can be quite lengthy, involving several in-surgery appointments

Step 1: Initial Consultation
During a full examination and assessment, we ensure you are a suitable implant candidate. Your treatment plan is devised and discussed in detail, including an estimated cost and timeframe.

Step 2: Planning
Using state-of-the-art digital scans and images, we precisely and accurately plan the best positions for your dental implants. Any preparatory treatment needed, such as bone grafts or extractions, is carried out.

Step 3: Fitting
The titanium implant is placed into your jawbone by our skilled implantologist, using local anaesthetic to minimise any discomfort. Although the local anaesthetic will avoid you feeling any pain, if you are a nervous patient we can also use sedation. The implant will take 3-6 months to heal and fuse to the bone. A temporary tooth is fitted to protect your gum during the healing process.

Step 4: Smile!
Once your implant has fully healed and integrated, we fit your final crown or bridge and complete your brand new smile. We will give you some advice on how to look after your dental implant and leave you to start showing off your smile!

Benefits of Dental Implants

• Secure – dental implants stay firmly in place and will not move when you are eating or speaking, or become loose over time. As they are held in place by your bone, you can be confident of their strength and durability.
• Aesthetic – implants look and feel just like natural teeth. You will be able to eat, drink and talk just as you did before, as well as show off a winning smile.
• Effective – dental implants are a safe and well-established method of replacing one or more missing teeth in any part of your mouth.
• Supportive – implants can help to support and sustain your facial structure and remaining natural teeth. They protect your gum and can be fitted with no detrimental effect on your existing healthy teeth.
• Innovative – implants use cutting edge digital dental technology combined with specialist expertise to create the next best thing to natural teeth.

What types of Dental Implants are available?

Single implants
A missing tooth can be effectively replaced using a crown fitted to a single dental implant. The replacement tooth is strong, secure and durable, able to withstand pressures from chewing and look just like your existing teeth. Alternative options for a single missing tooth are available, including a single tooth denture or bridge, but these are not as effective as an implant. A single implant can be fitted with no damage to the remaining healthy teeth, prevents unwanted movement and strengthens the jaw.

Multiple implants
If you have several missing teeth, there are various implant options to consider to fill the gaps. Separate single implants can be placed, but you do not necessarily need an implant fitted for each missing tooth. Strategically placed implants can be used to support a bridge to replace a number of adjacent teeth. This method is particularly effective in cases where the jawbone may not be sufficient for implant treatment in some places.

Full arch implants
Traditionally, dentures have been the go-to option for replacing a full upper or lower arch of missing teeth. However, despite the advances in denture treatment, they can be uncomfortable to wear and do not stop the jawbone from degrading over time. Dental implants are seen as the superior alternative and offer two main full arch options:

1. A fixed full arch bridge of new teeth, supported by four or six precisely placed dental implants. Once they have settled, your new teeth will feel completely natural and enable you to eat, drink and speak as you did before
2. A denture, anchored into place by dental implants. Implant-supported dentures are much more secure and do not move when worn, giving you back your confidence and a full smile.
