An implant is a small titanium post placed into the jawbone, where it fuses with the bone and acts as an artificial root. A crown, bridge or denture is then attached on top, so the replacement tooth is fixed, stable and cleaned like a natural tooth.
One implant and one crown replace a single missing tooth without cutting down the healthy teeth either side of the gap. Read more about single tooth dental implants.
A full arch of fixed teeth supported by four carefully angled implants, often suitable for patients who have been told they do not have enough bone for conventional implants. Read more about All-on-4 dental implants.
If your denture moves when you eat or speak, implants can be used to clip it firmly in place. Read more about implant retained dentures.
We examine your mouth, take scans and X-rays and assess the bone available. You will leave with a written plan setting out your options and costs.
The implant is placed under local anaesthetic in a single appointment. Most patients are surprised by how comfortable the procedure is and return to normal activities the next day.
Over the following weeks the implant fuses with the jawbone. A temporary tooth can usually be worn during this period so you are never left with a visible gap.
Once healing is complete, we fit the final crown, bridge or denture, matched to the shade and shape of your natural teeth.
Implants are cleaned much like natural teeth: brushing twice a day, cleaning between the teeth and keeping up regular hygiene appointments. Well maintained implants can last for decades.
Every case is different, so we quote for implant treatment only after a full assessment. Our fees page sets out our pricing, and 0% finance is available on larger treatment plans.
