An implant completely takes the place of a failing tooth root, and a natural-looking crown is placed over the top. With their excellent level of stability, you will find that everyday actions like chewing and speaking feel completely natural again post-placement.
With good care, dental implants can serve as a permanent tooth replacement treatment. Other key benefits include:
Consultation: a discussion about the treatment process and whether or not you are suitable.
Planning: 3D imaging of your mouth and jaw allows us to pinpoint the most suitable location for long-term treatment success.
Surgery: your implant is placed under local anaesthetic. Healing time takes 3 to 6 months.
Bespoke crown: your crown is designed and placed over the implant firmly in place.
Replacing missing teeth (especially front teeth) will give you a full smile again. Instead of noticing gaps in your smile, the people around you will see a complete, rejuvenated smile, giving you freshly found confidence.
Replacing teeth also fills out the cheek area, which may appear sunken as a result of gradual jawbone loss, which happens when teeth don’t provide stimulation. This means the whole face benefits from a lifting effect, giving you a younger-looking appearance.
Your crown is placed over the top of implants, which are inserted into the jawbone. It will sit at gum level, with your existing natural teeth, looking completely authentic. Your crown will be designed to precise specifications – everything about it will suit the existing teeth that sit in your mouth, and no one will be able to tell it isn’t your own tooth.
Implant success rates are extremely high (over 95% successful). The most common reason for implant failure is poorly executed implant surgery and lifestyle choices like smoking during the healing period.
Our implant surgeons have been placing implants for many years, and we use premium implant brands trusted in the UK dental market for over 10 years. The type of implant used is bespoke to you and depends on the type of bone and volume.
