Dental implants
Replacing a tooth can restore small pleasures: eating comfortably, speaking confidently and smiling in your own way.
Request an assessment
ILLUSTRATIVE IMAGEWhat does it involve?
An implant replaces the root of a missing tooth and supports a crown or prosthesis. Before considering it, we assess the gums, available bone and your general health. Planning helps determine how many implants are needed and which restoration may work best. Missing teeth do not always require the same solution: we also consider bridges and removable dentures.
Care today. Smile tomorrow.
A restoration adapted to your smile
Replacement without necessarily relying on neighbouring teeth
Is it right for you?
Implants may be an option if you have one or more missing teeth and want a stable replacement. Periodontal disease must be controlled, the bone assessed and habits such as smoking reviewed. The decision follows an examination, rather than a photograph alone.
A plan you can understand.
Assessment and alternatives
We assess the tissues, your history and imaging when clinically indicated.
Placement and integration
Surgery is planned with anaesthesia and an individual healing period.
Your new smile
We fit the prosthesis and arrange reviews and hygiene maintenance.
Aftercare and points to consider
Initial swelling and discomfort may occur. Follow the cleaning and eating instructions, avoid smoking and attend reviews. Implants need long-term care; they are not immune to inflammation or mechanical complications.
Important decisions about dental implants
One tooth, several gaps or a full arch
A restoration may be an individual crown, a bridge or a more extensive prosthesis. One implant is not always needed for every missing tooth. The number and distribution depend on the available support and the planned prosthesis.
Healing is part of treatment
A gum that looks closed does not mean an implant is ready for unrestricted loading. Bone needs to integrate with the implant surface. During this phase, the possibility of a temporary prosthesis and any limitations on its use are assessed individually.
Understand the components and plan
Distinguish surgery, implant, abutment and final restoration. Ask for the stages, any preliminary procedures and maintenance requirements to be explained. Keep the identification details of the implant system used: they may help with future reviews or repairs.
Changes that need a review
Bleeding around an implant, persistent swelling or a feeling of movement deserves assessment. The problem may involve the tissues or a prosthetic component. Do not try to tighten or reposition the restoration yourself.

Location, opening hours and contact ↗Questions worth asking

An examination helps clarify the options, stages and cost estimate for your case.
Your questions,
clearly answered.
Information to help you feel more at ease before your appointment.
01Are an implant and a crown the same?
No. The implant is placed in the bone; the crown is the visible part that replaces the tooth. Your cost estimate should explain which components are included.
02Can an implant be placed if there is insufficient bone?
Some cases require bone regeneration or another approach. Bone quantity and quality are assessed through examination and any imaging that is indicated.
03Can I have teeth fitted on the same day?
Only in selected cases that meet the necessary stability and planning requirements. Immediate loading cannot be promised before assessment.
04Does the surgery hurt?
Local anaesthesia is used. Discomfort and swelling may follow; the team will provide aftercare suited to your circumstances.
05How long does an implant last?
There is no guaranteed lifespan. Hygiene, smoking, periodontal health, the bite and professional maintenance all influence the outcome.
06Can I have implants if I have diabetes?
Diabetes alone does not rule out implants. Its control, your history and risks affecting healing need individual assessment.
07What if I smoke?
Smoking increases the risk of complications. Discussing reduction or stopping forms part of responsible planning.
08How is suitability assessed?
This page provides general guidance. During your consultation, we review your history, examine your mouth and recommend investigations if needed. We explain the alternatives before a decision is made.
09Can I see a cost estimate before starting?
Yes. After diagnosis, we explain the proposed plan and cost estimate, including its stages and what is covered. The price depends on your needs, rather than the treatment name alone.
