What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants offer a natural-looking solution to fill gaps in your smile. They are designed to look and feel like real teeth, enabling you to eat, talk, and above all, smile confidently. Implants can replace single or multiple teeth and even support full arch restorations. For missing teeth, no treatment or procedure is as permanent as dental implants. With proper care, implants can last a lifetime. They can also help preserve bone structure by preventing bone loss adding to the benefits of an improved overall appearance.

The Dental Implant Procedure

The dental implant process typically occurs in several stages over several months. If needed, it may begin with tooth extractions. The implant is then inserted into the jawbone and allowed to fuse with it. Once healing is complete, an abutment is placed on the implant to support a bridge, crown or full denture. After the procedure, your implant will function and feel like a natural tooth, and you’ll care for it just as you would your natural teeth.

Ideal Candidates for Dental Implants

Dental implants are ideal for individuals with one or more missing teeth due to trauma or decay. Candidates should have good overall oral health and show no signs of gum disease. Additionally, being a non-smoker is crucial, as smoking can hinder healing and increase the risk of complications. Treatment may not be appropriate for those with uncontrolled diabetes or those who have undergone jaw radiotherapy. We will go over these criteria during your consultation for dental implants.

Frequently Asked
Questions (FAQs)

Find the answers to the most commonly asked questions regarding dental implants below:

Various types of dental implants are available to address different needs. Single-teeth dental implants are used to replace individual teeth and fill gaps, preventing adjacent teeth from shifting. For more extensive restorations, All-on-4 implants use 4-6 implants to support a full arch of teeth.

The dental implant procedure typically takes about 30 minutes to a couple of hours, depending upon the case complexity. However, the overall treatment duration also includes healing time of the implant, which usually ranges from 6 to 12 weeks.

Most patients report that the recovery from dental implants takes almost as long as recovery from an extraction. Post-treatment, you may experience some tenderness and swelling for some days, but these symptoms usually subside gradually.

With proper care, the dental implant can last a lifetime. However, the bridge, crown or denture attached to the implant may need repair or replacement over time. On average, these restorations last around ten years or more with appropriate care.

Our Smiling Patients' Reviews

Sandra English
As a recent new patient to the practice, I’ve been delighted with my treatment thus far, and have been greeted with warmth and professionalism. Both Josie & Zoe have offered extremely friendly and impartial advice on how best to move forward with my aging teeth. The whole of the practice offers a very caring ethos that gives the patient confidence in their dental choice. Thank you to all.
Den Clarke
I've recently located to area & hadn't attended a dentist for a few years. My initial appointment with Josie was the most relaxed I've ever been (nervous patient!). A 2nd appt for a necessary tooth extraction was completed with so much patience & care that I wasn't even aware the tooth was out! All staff are friendly & welcoming & I look forward (that's never been in my vocabulary) to attending further appointments with Josie to dispel this awful nervousness. Thank you.
John Conley
Excellent care. Very efficient, fast and painless. Prices are very affordable and all the steps were well described as we went along for my care. I'm impressed with all the office staff and the care I received.
John Clarke
First visit to the practice but my first impression is that they are very welcoming at reception, my dentist was also friendly and explained what she was doing and why throughout my examination.
Ed Goodwin
As a nervous patient, I must complement hygienist Zoe. She is excellent! Empathetic, highly skilled and very clear in describing what she is doing and future actions required. Thank you!
Jonathan Howard
Had another very good visit and happy to see the effort in our joint plans are giving great results for my health.
Karen Fleming
This practice is highly recommend. If you are a nervous patient or it's your first time this is definitely the practice to go to. You are made to feel at ease, friendly and welcoming and take good care of you as well as explain everything to you. It was my 1st time and I will definitely be going back.
Jan Raath
Dr Stevenson is the ultimate professional. I had a tooth extraction which was totally painless. He explained the whole procedure and then explained the aftercare carefully. The best dental experience I’ve ever had.
Linda Jones
After experiencing severe pain over the weekend, I was able to obtain an emergency appointment first thing Monday morning despite not being registered with this dentist. Very professional, lovely staff and put me at ease immediately. The dentist clearly explained my options and I decided on a extraction which was carried out immediately. I can now continue with my holiday and can't thank them enough.
Nick Roper
I’ve just had a root canal treatment which I really hadn’t been looking forward to. However, Lyndall and Jasmine carried out the procedure in such a professional and caring way that I almost went to sleep! My thanks to both 🙏
