If you have missing teeth, this can have a negative impact on the look of your smile, as well as your overall facial aesthetics. A bright smile is widely regarded as a very attractive feature, but the teeth are not there just to look pretty; they also play a very important role in supporting your cheeks and lips and without them, the look of your face will change. We use the latest treatments, including dental implants, to replace lost teeth and transform your looks.

About dental implants

Dental implants are the new kid on the block in terms of tooth replacement treatment but they have made a big impact very quickly and are now regarded by most dentists as the best long-term option for patients with missing teeth.

Implants are made from titanium and they serve to replace the root of the missing tooth. They are able to actually integrate into the jaw bone, in the same way as a natural tooth and they provide amazing stability for dentures and dental bridges, as well as single dental crowns.

The implant treatment process involves two main phases once the consultation and planning stages are complete. The first phase involves fitting the implants and this procedure is usually carried out under local anaesthetic. The second phase of treatment takes place several weeks later, when the implants have integrated, and involves connecting the new restoration to the head of the implant.

Benefits of dental implants

Dental implants offer all the benefits of natural teeth. They enable you to eat and chew your food with ease, they provide support for your cheeks to enhance facial aesthetics and they boost your confidence by creating a natural looking, attractive smile. Implants also last much longer than dentures and dental bridges and their versatility means that they are suitable for almost all patients.
