Don’t let missing teeth affect your confidence

Missing teeth can impact much more than your smile. They can make eating, speaking and socialising more difficult, while also affecting your confidence and oral health.

Dental implants are widely regarded as one of the most effective and natural-looking ways to replace missing teeth. Designed to look, feel and function like real teeth, implants provide a long-lasting solution that can help you smile, eat and speak with confidence once again.

What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are small titanium posts that are carefully placed into the jawbone to replace missing tooth roots. Over time, the implant naturally bonds with the surrounding bone in a process called osseointegration.

Once healing is complete, a custom-made crown, bridge or denture is attached to the implant, creating a strong, stable and natural-looking replacement for missing teeth. Replacing missing teeth can also help prevent neighbouring teeth from shifting and may support long-term oral health.

Dental Implants - Treatment Options

Single Implant

A single dental implant is an ideal way to replace one missing tooth. The implant acts as an artificial tooth root, supporting a custom-made crown that looks, feels and functions like a natural tooth.

Implant Supported Bridge

If you're missing several teeth in a row, an implant-supported bridge can replace them without the need for an implant for every missing tooth. This provides a strong, secure and natural-looking restoration while helping to preserve your remaining teeth.

Full Fixed Bridge

A full fixed bridge is designed for patients who have lost most or all of their teeth. Supported by a number of strategically placed implants, it provides a permanent, non-removable solution that restores your smile, confidence and ability to eat comfortably.

Implant Stabilised Dentures

Implant-stabilised dentures offer a more secure alternative to traditional removable dentures. Dental implants hold the denture firmly in place, reducing movement while eating and speaking, improving comfort, and giving you greater confidence in your everyday life.

Dental Implants FAQs

Anything. The chief advantage of a dental implant is that it behaves exactly like your original tooth, meaning that there is no food or drink that’s off limits.

The implant surgeon will administer a local anaesthetic before putting the implant in place. During the actual surgery itself, therefore, you will feel virtually no pain. Following surgery, there will be some minor discomfort and swelling, but nothing that over the counter medication can’t deal with.

There are no side effects associated with dental implants. Occasionally, the body may reject the implant, but on these rare occasions a second implant can be fitted.

To cover the period whilst the implant is ‘growing’ into the bone, your implant surgeon will fit you with temporary ‘teeth’ in the form of an adhesive bridge or a denture. With this in place, you will be able to carry on with your social and working life exactly as before.

The actual operation to fit the implant should take between an hour and two hours, after which there is a ‘healing’ period of eight to twelve weeks, at the end of which the crown can be attached to the implant.

An implant is a permanent replacement for a missing tooth, and actually requires slightly less maintenance than a natural tooth. When cared for properly, existing implants have lasted longer than 40 years.
