There is no better option for replacing a missing tooth than a dental implant.
A permanent solution to tooth loss, implants are unrivaled in both their function and ability to replicate the look and feel of a real tooth.
Implants: a life-changing solution to gaps in your smile
Implants are the most sophisticated of all the tooth replacement options currently available. They are small titanium posts that replace the lost or extracted root of a tooth. They are placed under local anaesthetic by an implant surgeon, after which the jaw heals. Once the period of healing is complete, the implant and the jaw will have connected to one another in exactly the same way as a real tooth and your jaw.
Lifestyle, confidence and wellbeing restored with dental implants
Unlike treatments like a dental bridge or dentures, an implant is powered by its own support. When you bite and chew with your implant, this stimulates the jaw, which can then function competently, and remain aesthetically intact. Implants also don’t have to rely on the support of other teeth to function, standing independently to perform the everyday functions you need them to.
With your brand new single implant, your smile will look and feel complete again.
FAQs
Do I really need to replace just one missing tooth?
There are plenty of compelling reasons to do so. For a start, even one tooth can disrupt your chewing action, as well as your speech. If you’re missing a tooth that’s prominent when you smile, this can leave you feeling unwilling to smile, and generally lacking in self-esteem.
What can I expect from the implant treatment process?
For more involved treatments such as dental implants, we offer initial appointments with our Treatment Coordinator, who can talk you through the options available to you, outline the fees, and explain the steps involved.
Once you are happy to proceed, the implant process is as follows:
- Examination: we examine your mouth and capture a CBCT scan of your mouth and jaw.
- Surgery: the implant is placed under local anaesthetic.
- Healing time: your jaw and implant will fuse together, which takes approximately 3 to 6 months.
- Crown planning: digital scans and specifications are taken, so that we can create your bespoke crown, which will fit over the implant, to give a pleasing final result.
- Crown placement: your beautiful new crown is placed.
