Dental implants look just like your natural teeth and blend beautifully into your smile. No-one will know they are not your real teeth!
As they are fused with your jawbone, implants are incredibly strong and durable, exactly mimicking a natural tooth root.
Anchored into place, implants prevent bone loss and gum shrinkage associated with other restorative options.
Dental implants provide a solid foundation for your replacement tooth, so you can eat and speak with comfort and confidence.
We use cutting-edge technology to ensure your dental implants provide a predictable, reliable and successful long-term solution.

Dental implants are small titanium posts that are placed into your jawbone to exactly mimic a natural tooth root and support a natural-looking replacement tooth. They are considered a superior option for replacing missing teeth, giving you the look, feel and function of a natural tooth. Implants can be placed without disturbing or touching the adjacent teeth, a significant long-term benefit for your oral health.
Titanium is used for dental implants as it is very compatible with the human body. Over time, the titanium implant fuses with your jawbone in a process called osseointegration. The implant is firmly anchored into the bone, providing a completely solid foundation for an aesthetic missing tooth. You can eat and speak without the worry your restoration will slip or move.
Single implant
A single dental implant can effectively replace a missing tooth. Acting as a strong, secure and durable artificial tooth root, the implant supports a crown which is designed to match your natural teeth.
Multiple implants
We can use several options to replace several missing teeth. While individual implants can be placed for each missing tooth, strategically positioned implants can also support a bridge, replacing multiple teeth. This approach is particularly effective in cases where the jawbone may not be sufficient for implant treatment.
Full arch implants
Traditionally, dentures have been used to replace full upper or lower arches. However, implants offer a more secure and comfortable alternative. A fixed bridge can be supported by several implants for natural feel and function. We can also use implants to anchor a denture firmly into place.
During your initial consultation, we make sure that dental implants are the right treatment for you. We examine your teeth and gums, take an X-ray to see the amount of jawbone present, and give you the chance to ask us any questions.
We use advanced digital scans and images to accurately plan your treatment, including the best positions for your implants to ensure incredible results. If you are only having one implant, this will usually be a direct replacement.
We insert your titanium implants into your jawbone during a relatively short surgical appointment. We use local anaesthetic to numb your mouth and minimise any discomfort. The implants need several months to properly heal and fuse to your jawbone, so we fit a temporary tooth to protect your gum during this time.
When your implants have fully healed and created a strong and solid foundation, we fit your custom-made crown or bridge and reveal your brand new smile. We make sure you are completely happy and give you some aftercare advice. The next stage is simply enjoying your beautiful smile!
Dental implants have many benefits, including filling the gap in your smile with a strong, secure and aesthetic replacement tooth. They exactly mimic a natural tooth root, providing a solid foundation which has the added benefit of preserving your jawbone and supporting your facial structure. Dental implants are seen as superior to other tooth replacement options, and are considered the next best thing to natural teeth.
Almost anyone can be considered a good candidate for dental implants. As long as there is enough bone to support the implant, and you are in good general and oral health, you should be able to undergo dental implant treatment with no problems. At your initial consultation, we carefully examine your mouth to ensure your suitability for treatment.
Every dental implant case is tailored to each individual patient, so the costs may change depending on your individual case. We provide a written treatment plan, outlining fees and timings, before any treatment begins, so you have a solid idea of how much your implants will cost. We also offer finance options, including interest-free credit, subject to suitability.
Implants have the potential to last a lifetime if they are properly looked after and treated well. This includes looking after your oral health with an excellent brushing and flossing routine at home, and making sure you visit your dentist for regular check-up appointments. The crown or bridge fitted on top of your implant may need to be replaced over time due to natural wear and tear.
The best way to look after your dental implants is to treat them just like your natural teeth. Brush and floss twice a day, paying close attention to the gum surrounding the implant. As they are made from artificial materials, your implants are not susceptible to decay, but still need to be treated with care.
Dental implant surgery is performed under local anaesthetic to ensure your comfort throughout the procedure. You won’t feel any pain during treatment. Afterwards, it is normal to experience some mild discomfort, but this can be easily managed with over-the-counter pain relief. In fact, implant surgery is often less painful than a tooth extraction. Most patients are able to resume their normal activities the following day.
