Dental implants
A carefully assessed way to replace missing teeth and rebuild comfortable, stable everyday function.
A stable option for missing teeth
Dental implants replace the root portion of a missing tooth and support a crown, bridge or denture. Suitability depends on gum health, bone, medical history and the way your teeth meet, so planning begins with a detailed assessment.
Planning matters
The condition of the gum, the available bone, your bite and your expectations all affect the plan. We explain what is possible, what needs time, and what the alternatives are before treatment starts.
Common questions
Before you book
Not always. A bridge, denture or leaving the space alone may be more appropriate depending on the tooth, the surrounding tissues and your priorities. An examination is the sensible first step.
It is usually staged over several visits because the implant needs time to settle before the final tooth is fitted. The exact timetable depends on the site and the plan.
The crown is made to match the surrounding teeth in colour, shape and position. A natural result depends on both the planning and the health of the tissues around it.
