Losing teeth can change the way you chew, talk, smile and feel each day. A dental implant gives replacement teeth a firm, lasting foundation, restoring both natural function and a complete look.
Here at Netherton Dental Practice we talk you through every option in plain language, check whether implants will suit you, and make sure the treatment fits your health, lifestyle and the result you want.
A dental implant is made from three parts — a titanium fixture that sits in the jaw as an artificial root, an abutment that connects to it, and a crown on top. Once the fixture has fused with the bone it can hold a single crown, a bridge or a denture, depending on how many teeth you are replacing.
An implant looks and feels almost like a real tooth and, unlike a natural tooth, can never decay — so you can smile, talk and eat with complete confidence.
Implant treatment here is carried out privately, allowing thorough planning and a wider choice of replacement teeth. We place trusted systems such as Nobel Biocare and Dentsply.
Our implant dentist has been placing implants for around 15 years, so your decision is guided by genuine experience.
Whether implants are right for you comes down to your gum health, bone levels, medical history, smoking habits and the outcome you are hoping for. Careful planning is essential, so we carry out a full assessment — often including CT scans — before recommending treatment.
Strong, healthy gums and good daily hygiene give implants the best possible start.
Where bone is limited, procedures such as bone grafting or sinus augmentation can build up enough support.
Certain medical conditions and medicines can influence healing and how we plan your care.
Smoking and your home-care habits play a big part in long-term implant success.
Depending on how many teeth are missing and the result you are after, implants can be used in a number of different ways.
A single implant and crown neatly fills the gap left by one missing tooth.
A bridge held in place by implants can replace several teeth in a row.
Implants lock a denture firmly in place and stop it slipping or moving.
When many teeth are missing, a full implant-supported arch may be an option following assessment.
Consultation — we talk through the gaps, your goals and what you would like from treatment.
Assessment — we examine your gums, bite and bone, using CT scans where they help.
Planning — we map out suitable options, timings, costs and any alternatives.
Treatment — the implant is placed and every healing stage is closely managed.
Restoration — your crown, bridge or denture is fitted, checked and reviewed.
Like natural teeth, implants need looking after. Daily cleaning at home, ongoing maintenance with our hygienist and annual reviews all keep the gums and tissue around each implant healthy.
