A fixed way to replace missing teeth

Dental implants

A dental implant is a titanium fixture placed into the jaw to act as an artificial tooth root. Once integrated with the bone, it can support a crown, bridge or, in some cases, help stabilise a denture.

Your implant assessment

Successful implant treatment begins with careful planning. We assess the health of your mouth, the available bone, your bite, medical history and the appearance you would like to achieve. Further imaging or referral may be needed before a final plan is agreed.

Possible uses

  • Replacing one missing tooth without preparing neighbouring teeth
  • Supporting a bridge where several teeth are missing
  • Improving the support and stability of a removable denture

Long-term care

Implants are not maintenance-free. Excellent cleaning, regular professional review and control of risk factors such as smoking and gum disease are essential to protect the implant and surrounding tissues.

Individual advice matters. Suitability, alternatives, risks and likely outcomes can only be confirmed after an examination.
