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.

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.
