Dental implants really can be life-changing. If you have missing or failing teeth – we know this can impact on the way you feel and how you live your life. Whether you want to replace a single tooth or a complete smile, dental implants offer a fixed solution that can restore your smile and improve your quality of life.
Dental implants are usually made of titanium and are placed directly into your jawbone – replacing your missing tooth root. After they’re fitted, the bone surrounding the implant will gradually integrate with it, holding the implant firmly in place. A crown, bridge or denture (false teeth) is then fitted to the top of the dental implant(s). The process of having dental implants usually takes between four and six months, but this can vary depending on your individual needs and treatment plan.
• They’re a fixed alternative to removable dentures
• They look, feel and function almost like natural teeth
• They will offer you long-term stability and comfort
• They prevent bone loss and stimulate bone structure
• They last for many years if you look after your dental health
• No adjustments are needed to other teeth to secure them
• They’ll help you to speak more confidently and eat the foods you love
A single dental implant is a great option if you only need one tooth replacing. It won’t affect your neighbouring teeth – helping you to eat, smile and laugh with confidence.
For multiple missing teeth, implants can be placed either side of a gap and a bridge fitted to fill the space. Full arch bridges can also be secured to implants to replace a full arch of teeth.
Implant secured dentures are when your replacement teeth (denture) is attached to and anchored in place with two to four dental implants to secure your denture in place
