Replace Several Missing Teeth

Multiple implants can support a bridge to restore several adjacent missing teeth for improved chewing and appearance.
Stabilise Loose Dentures

Implants can anchor a denture to reduce movement and improve confidence when eating and speaking.
Preserve Function
04
Implant restorations can restore chewing and speaking ability more similarly to natural teeth than some removable options.
Maintain Facial Support
05
Replacing missing teeth can help support the soft tissues of the face where this is clinically appropriate.
Long-Term Restorations
06
Crowns, bridges or dentures attached to implants are intended to function like conventional restorations with suitable care.
Prevent Unwanted Tooth Movement

Filling a gap with an implant-supported restoration can reduce the risk of neighbouring teeth tipping where indicated.

What To Expect During Dental Implant Treatment
01
Initial Assessment
A dentist will review your oral and general health, gum condition, remaining teeth and treatment goals to assess suitability.
02
Records And Planning
X-rays and digital scans may be taken where clinically appropriate to plan implant number and position.
03
Preparatory Care
Active gum disease, infections or failing teeth are treated first and some patients need bone grafting or other preparatory procedures.
04
Implant Placement
Implants are placed surgically, commonly under local anaesthetic, with the team explaining what to expect before and after.
05
Healing And Review
Time is allowed for the implant to integrate with the jawbone, with reviews to monitor healing and hygiene.
06
Final Restoration And Maintenance
Once clinically ready, a crown, bridge or denture is fitted and a maintenance plan agreed to support long-term health.
Are Dental Implants Right For You?
Dental implants may be appropriate if you have one or more missing teeth and generally good oral and general health, but they are not suitable for everyone. Suitability depends on factors such as gum health, the amount and quality of jawbone, remaining teeth, bite, your medical history, medicines, smoking status and your expectations for treatment.
Some people need additional procedures, like bone grafting, to create a stable foundation; this can only be confirmed after assessment and imaging. Your dentist will discuss alternatives, including bridges and dentures, and will explain the risks, likely outcomes and consent process so you can make an informed decision.

Frequently Asked Questions
An implant can support a single crown to replace one tooth, or multiple implants can support a bridge for several missing teeth; a clinical assessment will clarify the best approach based on the number and position of missing teeth, bone availability and your restorative goals.
If an implant fails to integrate with the bone, the clinician will explain options which may include removing the implant, assessing possible causes and planning whether replacement or alternative restorations are appropriate.
Cleaning around implants involves daily plaque control, appropriate interdental tools and regular professional hygiene visits; good home care and maintenance reviews are important for long-term implant health.
Bone grafting may be recommended when there is insufficient jawbone to support an implant; not all patients need grafts and the need can only be determined after examination and imaging during planning.
Smoking can increase the risk of complications and delayed healing; your dentist will discuss how smoking affects suitability and may recommend ways to reduce risk before treatment proceeds.
Bridges and dentures remain valid alternatives to implants and may be recommended depending on medical factors, bone availability, cost considerations and personal preference; your dentist will outline pros and cons so you can decide.
