Why implants
More than filling a gap
Missing teeth affect far more than appearance. Neighbouring teeth drift, chewing becomes uneven and the jawbone gradually shrinks where the root used to be.
Function restored
Bite and chew confidently, without avoiding foods you enjoy.
Bone preserved
An implant stimulates the jawbone, helping maintain facial shape.
Neighbours protected
Unlike a bridge, healthy adjacent teeth stay untouched.
Planning
Measured twice, placed once
Implant success is decided long before the appointment itself. We use detailed imaging and digital planning to determine the exact position, angle and depth, which makes the procedure quicker, gentler and far more predictable.

Good to know
Implant questions, answered plainly
How long do dental implants last?+
With healthy gums and regular maintenance, implants can last for decades. The crown attached to the implant may need replacing after many years of use.
How long does the whole process take?+
Typically three to six months from placement to final tooth, allowing time for the implant to integrate with the bone. We'll always keep you looking presentable in the meantime.
Can implants replace several teeth?+
Yes. A small number of implants can support a bridge or secure a full denture, which is often life-changing for patients struggling with loose dentures.
What if I've been told I don't have enough bone?+
Options such as bone grafting or shorter, narrower implants can often make treatment possible. We'll assess this carefully with detailed imaging.
