A dental implant is the gold-standard, long-term way to replace a single missing tooth, several missing teeth, or a full mouth of teeth. Missing teeth can affect what you're able to eat, your speech and your confidence.
An implant is a titanium screw placed in the jawbone, where it acts like a natural root and supports a replacement tooth, bridge or denture. The result looks and works like your natural teeth. Implants are planned and placed by our implantologist, Dr Nadeem Rathore.
Tired of a loose denture?
Conventional dentures rely on your remaining teeth, or your gums alone, to hold them in place, so they can feel loose and unstable. Anchoring a denture to implants gives you the confidence to bite into your favourite foods and smile with pride.
- Stays firmly in place when you eat and talk
- Improves how well you can bite and chew
- Discreet and natural-looking
- A long-term solution
Am I suitable for implants?
Most healthy adults with enough bone can have implants. Gum disease needs treating first, and smoking or some medical conditions can affect healing. If bone has shrunk after a tooth was lost, a bone graft may be recommended. Your assessment will cover all of this.
Looking after implants
Implants can't decay, but the gum and bone around them can become inflamed if they're not kept clean. Good daily cleaning and regular check-ups and hygiene visits are key to keeping them healthy for the long term.
