DENTAL IMPLANTS

 

Dental implants are titanium screws surgically placed into the jawbone to replace missing tooth roots, providing a stable anchor for a replacement tooth, bridge, or denture.

The process involves the metal implant fusing with the jaw bone over several months, after which a bespoke crown, or other restoration, is fitted on top. This provides a long-lasting, natural-looking solution for tooth loss, helping with function and aesthetics.

How they work

A titanium screw is surgically placed into your jaw bone to act as a new tooth root.

The jaw bone fuses with the implant over time (a process called “osseointegration”), creating a strong and stable foundation.

Once healed, a replacement tooth (crown), bridge, or denture can be attached to the implant(s).

Who is a candidate?

Adults of all ages who are missing teeth - depending on the quality and volume of bone available.

Patients who are self-conscious about their smile, struggle with biting/chewing, or need a more secure alternative to dentures.

Benefits

A long-term solution: With proper care, implants can last for many years, and have a very high success rate.

Preserves bone: They help prevent the bone loss that occurs with missing teeth.

Functionality: They restore the ability to bite and chew food comfortably.

Aesthetics: They are designed to look and feel like your natural teeth.

Things to consider

Cost: Dental implants typically start from around £2500. Our implantologist, Lauren, can give you a personalised quote during consultation.

Time: The full process can take several months to complete, as it requires healing time for the implant to fuse with the bone.

Suitability: Our implantologist, Lauren, will need to assess if you are a suitable candidate.

Potential risks: As with any surgery, there are some risks, such as infection, nerve injury, or implant failure.
