We have late appointments, as well as Saturday slots, so you can find the time to see us and learn how wonderful dental implants are!

How do dental implants work?

Your teeth have two parts to them: the first is the visible bit, and the other is the root that is attached to your jawbone. When you lose a tooth, replacement teeth typically address what you can see to give you an aesthetically pleasing smile. However, with dental implants, we take tooth replacements to another level. We use small screws and attach them to your jawbone, just like the roots of your teeth. We can then attach the replacement teeth to these implants, and the results are teeth that are fixed into position and don’t need to be removed at night. You also won’t have to worry about avoiding certain foods as your smile should function just like your natural one with dental implants.

Sounds good. Are they right for me?

When you book a consultation, we will be able to check your mouth to determine what the treatment options are. We will be looking to ensure that you have enough bone density in your jawbone to attach dental implants to, for example. Don’t worry if you don’t, however, as we may be able to offer a bone graft before the dental implant treatment. Some patients worry that there will be a lot of pain with dental implants; however, your treatment is not major surgery and will be carried out with local anaesthesia, so you shouldn’t feel a thing.

How long does it take to get dental implants?

You will need a couple of appointments for the dental implants to be fitted. During the first one, we will put the screws into your jawbone and attach temporary replacement teeth to them. Your gums will need time to heal around the screws, so after a few weeks, you can then return to have your permanent replacement teeth fitted. This healing period allows for your replacement teeth to be manufactured, and once they are fitted, nobody will realise you are wearing prosthetics.

Are dental implants easy to look after?

The great thing about dental implants is the fact that all you need to do to maintain them is clean your teeth, floss, and come and see us for your routine checkups. If you do this, your implants could last a lifetime!
