What is a dental implant ?
When we mention ‘Implant’ at work, we get two reactions: ‘What is it ?‘ & ‘How much is it?‘
They are both very sensible questions, so lets find out the answers!
Dental Implants are a replacement for the teeth & roots that you have lost in your jaw. Regardless of whether you have lost one tooth or a number of teeth in various areas dental implants may be the solution.
An implant is a titanium root that is placed into the jaw bone from where a tooth has been lost.
The metal root heals into the bone & onto the surface of this root a crown can be threaded that fits perfectly into your smile. This process can take between 3 to 6 months to complete, allowing you the time to budget for the treatment on a monthly basis.
The benefits of an implant include:-
- No need to attach the lost teeth to adjacent teeth
- No need to drill away parts of the adjacent teeth to support the lost tooth.
- There’s no need to rely on stability or presence of adjacent teeth to place an implant.
- Because the implant crown emerges from the gum it looks exactly like the neighbouring teeth.
- Your confidence to chew is regained as the implant feels ‘strong’ in the jaw.
- Once an implant is placed it is usually there for life!

Dental Implants can replace one tooth or a number of teeth & crowns & bridges can be supported on these meat roots.
Even if you had no teeth a number of dental implants can be placed in the jaw to provide firm & secure support for a denture. Eliminating the worry that your denture may slip when you are out for dinner.
Implant costs start from £2500.00.
