What are dental implants, exactly?

Dental implants are small titanium screws that are placed into your jawbone to act like artificial tooth roots. Once they’ve healed, they’re used to hold in crowns, bridges – or even dentures – giving you a secure, natural-looking smile that works just like real teeth.

Whether you’re missing one tooth, several teeth, or all of them, implants can restore your smile and chewing function. If you wear dentures, implants can be used to stabilise them – no more slipping or clicking when you eat or speak.

Why choose dental implants?

Wearing dentures?

Implants can be life-changing if you struggle with loose dentures. They can be used to secure your existing denture, or even replace it entirely with a fixed, non-removable set of teeth. Either way, you’ll enjoy a more comfortable and confident experience.

You’ll be supported every step of the way by Adam and our lovely team.

FAQs

Does getting dental implants hurt?

Not really! Most patients say it’s easier than they expected. The procedure is done under local anaesthetic, and we’ll make sure you’re completely comfortable. You might feel a little sore for a few days afterwards, but it’s usually mild.

How long do implants last?

With good care, implants can last 15–25 years or more. They’re a fantastic long-term solution.

Am I suitable for dental implants?

Most adults are! We’ll assess your general and oral health during your consultation. Even if you’ve been told you’re not suitable in the past, things like bone grafting might still make it possible.

How much do dental implants cost?

Prices vary depending on what’s needed, but we’ll give you a clear breakdown after your consultation. We also offer finance options to spread the cost.

Will I be left without teeth during treatment?

Not at all! We’ll always make sure you have a temporary option so you can smile confidently during healing.

Do implants need special care?

Nope! Just brush and floss like normal, and keep up with regular dental check-ups.

Can you help if I wear dentures?

Yes! Implants can be used to hold dentures firmly in place or even replace them entirely with fixed teeth.
