What are dental implants?

Implantology focuses on using dental implants as a long-term solution for replacing missing teeth, offering an alternative to dentures or bridges. With this treatment, a small titanium post is placed into the jawbone, acting as a secure base for a replacement tooth (or teeth). The result feels and looks just like your natural teeth.

Dental implants provide a stable, lasting solution without the worry of shifting or discomfort. Implants mimic your natural teeth in both appearance and function, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.

The benefits of dental implants

Dental implants are a popular and effective solution for replacing missing teeth, offering several advantages over other methods like dentures or bridges.

• Implants look and function like natural teeth, boosting your confidence.
• Fixed in place, implants avoid the discomfort or shifting of dentures.
• Implants don’t depend on nearby teeth, preserving your oral health.
• With proper care, implants are a long-lasting solution.
• By mimicking natural tooth roots, implants help preserve jawbone structure.

Restore your smile and your confidence

Dental implants are small titanium screws placed directly into the jawbone, acting as artificial tooth roots. Titanium is ideal for this because it’s biocompatible, meaning the body won’t reject it like other metals. Once the implants are secured, natural-looking crowns or bridgework are attached, offering a permanent solution for missing teeth.

We offer reliable and long-lasting implant solutions for patients of all ages. Whether you’re dealing with loose, decayed, or broken teeth, dental implants can restore your smile. Plus, we provide a 5-year warranty on our implants as an assurance of quality.

If you have teeth that are irreparably damaged or missing due to injury, accident, or dental disease, implants could be the right solution.

All-on-4 implants

The All-on-4 technique is an innovative method for securing a full arch of artificial teeth with just four strategically placed implants, eliminating the need for individual screws.

Using advanced technology like 3D X-rays and surgical planning software, we ensure precise placement of the implants, providing a stable base for your new teeth. This efficient procedure means you can enjoy a beautiful smile without spending hours in the dental chair.

Replacing a single tooth

Single tooth replacement is a straightforward procedure that involves using a dental implant to restore your smile.

The implant, resembling a small titanium screw, is securely placed in the exact spot of the missing tooth, serving as a root for your new crown. Once fitted, this implant offers long-lasting support for your replacement tooth, which is carefully matched to the colour and shade of your natural teeth.

Bone Graft Information and Fees

In some cases, a dental implant requires additional bone support to ensure long-term stability and success. This is achieved through a bone graft procedure, where biocompatible material is carefully placed to strengthen and rebuild the jawbone before or during implant placement. Bone grafting is a routine and safe procedure that enhances the foundation for your implant, providing optimal results. The fee for bone grafting typically ranges from £350 to £500, depending on the complexity and materials required.
