Implants

We aim to retain your natural teeth wherever possible. But where teeth are missing, or can't be saved, dental implants are an excellent solution.


Considered the optimal choice of treatment for replacing missing teeth.

❉ Implants used to be seen as a "last resort" for people who couldn't get on with dentures. We see it differently — for most patients, we'd consider an implant the optimal way to replace a missing tooth. We have extensive experience, including with more complex cases.

❉ Implant treatment does require commitment from you too — keeping your teeth and mouth healthy with our hygienists' support and regular reviews.

❉ Many patients tell us implant treatment has been life-changing, transforming their confidence in eating, speaking and socialising.

    It avoids cutting into healthy adjacent teeth to support a bridge, looks and functions like a natural tooth, helps slow bone and gum changes where a tooth has been lost, and is often easier to keep clean than a bridge spanning several teeth.

    A highly conservative option. A single implant mimics your own tooth root, so there's no need to prepare adjacent teeth to support bridgework as there would be traditionally. You look after the implant crown just like a natural tooth.

    Groups of missing teeth can be replaced with implant-supported bridgework (for example, two implants supporting a bridge of three to four teeth). As with single implants, this avoids preparing other teeth.

    Offer far more stability and comfort than conventional dentures, which rest on the gums and can, over time, contribute to bone loss and a looser fit.

    We consider implant support a minimum standard of care for full dentures where possible, and it can make dentures easier to keep clean too.These offer superior stability, comfort and retention.

    With our excellent laboratories and specialist prosthodontics, we will carefully construct beautiful dentures to complement your face. This treatment can be used as a first stage to planning both the position for implant bridges and over-dentures.

    Where infection or missing teeth have caused bone loss, we can add bone or gum tissue to improve the fixation for an implant or the final appearance.

    A sinus lift is used specifically when there isn't enough bone between the upper jaw and the sinus to anchor an implant.

Why choose an implant.

It avoids cutting into healthy adjacent teeth to support a bridge, looks and functions like a natural tooth, helps slow bone and gum changes where a tooth has been lost, and is often easier to keep clean than a bridge spanning several teeth.

Single Tooth implants

A highly conservative option. A single implant mimics your own tooth root, so there's no need to prepare adjacent teeth to support bridgework as there would be traditionally. You look after the implant crown just like a natural tooth.

Implants for several teeth

Groups of missing teeth can be replaced with implant-supported bridgework (for example, two implants supporting a bridge of three to four teeth). As with single implants, this avoids preparing other teeth.

Bone Grafts/Sinus Lifts

A sinus lift is used specifically when there isn't enough bone between the upper jaw and the sinus to anchor an implant.

We see implants as far more than a "last resort" — for most patients, we'd consider it the optimal way to replace a missing tooth, and we bring real experience to more complex cases too.

We know implant treatment takes commitment, and we're with you throughout.

Precision planning, every time

Every implant we place is planned with the help of a CBCT scan — a detailed 3D image of your jaw that lets us map out the ideal position, angle and depth before treatment even begins.

It's a level of precision that simply isn't possible with a standard X-ray, and it means fewer surprises and a smoother experience for you.

Feeling nervous? You're not alone

Many patients feel a little anxious before implant treatment, and that's completely normal. We offer in-house sedation to help you stay relaxed and comfortable throughout, without ever losing consciousness.

Whatever's on your mind, just let us know — we'll take things at your pace.
