If a tooth’s gone missing, you’ve got options, but not all options are created equal.
A dental implant is as close as we can get to replacing a natural tooth. It looks like a tooth, feels like a tooth, and functions like one too, so you can chew, smile, and speak with confidence again
Whether it’s been years since you lost the tooth or it’s a more recent issue, replacing it isn’t just about looks. When a tooth loses its friend, the rest often start to drift, and sometimes, they get bullied by the gang they bite against. That leads to changes in your bite, added pressure on other teeth, and sometimes even jaw pain or damage to surrounding teeth.
An implant replaces the root of the tooth with a small titanium post placed gently into the bone. Over a few months, the bone knits around it, just like scaffolding becoming part of the structure. Once healed, we place a crown on top that matches the rest of your smile.
The result? A long-lasting, stable solution that doesn’t rely on other teeth for support.
But if you’re thinking about it, timing can matter. Bone slowly shrinks in the area of a missing tooth, and the longer you leave it, the harder it can be to place an implant without extra work. Acting sooner means fewer hurdles, and often lower cost.
You don’t have to live with a gap if you don’t want to. You don’t have to feel self-conscious or chew differently. We treat people, not just teeth. That means understanding the emotional impact of a missing tooth, not just the clinical side. Whether it’s front and centre or tucked away at the back, if it’s bothering you, we’re here to help.
Book a consultation today to find out if implants are right for you. We’ll answer all your questions, give you a clear plan and transparent costs, and support you every step of the way.
It might just be the most natural-feeling unnatural tooth you ever have.
With good hygiene and maintenance, they can last 15 years or longer. Like any investment, the better you care for it, the longer it serves you.
Not at all. The placement is done under local anaesthetic and often much more straightforward than patients imagine. Most people report less discomfort than having a tooth out.
That’s no problem, we’ll check the bone levels with a scan and talk you through any extra steps if needed. You may need a little bone grafting beforehand, but it’s all manageable.
In many cases, yes. An implant doesn’t affect the teeth next to it, doesn’t move around like a denture can, and can feel like you’ve got your own tooth back.
