All treatmentsImplant dentistry
A replacement tooth that behaves like the real thing.
Personalised planning for replacing missing teeth and restoring long-term function.
What it involves
What is implant dentistry?
A dental implant is a small titanium post placed into the jawbone, where it takes the place of a missing tooth root. Once it has integrated, a crown, bridge or denture is attached to it.
Because the implant is anchored in bone, it feels stable, lets you eat normally and helps preserve the bone that would otherwise shrink away after a tooth is lost. It is a considered, staged treatment and it starts with careful planning.

What we offer
How we approach it here.
Thorough planning
3D CBCT imaging shows us bone volume, nerve position and sinus anatomy, so placement is planned precisely before treatment day.
Single tooth replacement
An implant replaces one missing tooth without needing to prepare the healthy teeth on either side.
Multiple teeth and bridges
Several implants can support a bridge, restoring a whole section of the mouth.
Stabilising loose dentures
Implants can secure an existing or new denture so it stays put while you eat and speak.
An honest assessment
Implants are not right for everyone. If a bridge or denture suits your situation better, we will say so.
Is it right for you?
This may be worth a conversation if…
Only an examination can confirm what you need. These are simply the situations that most often bring people in.
You are missing one or more teeth
Whether the gap is recent or has been there for years, it is worth knowing your options.
A denture or bridge is not working for you
Movement, discomfort or difficulty eating can often be resolved with implant support.
A tooth cannot be saved
Planning the replacement before the extraction usually gives the best long-term result.
