How Dental Implants Can Help
Implants can address a range of tooth loss situations when clinically appropriate and tailored to your needs.
Replace Several Teeth
02
Multiple implants may support individual crowns or a short bridge when more than one adjacent tooth is missing, depending on planning and bone support.
Support A Bridge
03
Implants can anchor a bridge and may avoid reducing healthy neighbouring teeth in some situations where clinically appropriate.
Stabilise A Denture
04
Two or more implants can improve the retention of a removable denture, making it more comfortable for eating and speaking where suitable.
Preserve Function
05
Implants aim to restore biting and chewing ability after tooth loss, subject to individual outcomes and clinical assessment.
Improve Confidence
06
Replacing visible gaps with an implant-supported restoration can help some people feel more confident about their smile.
Protect Adjacent Teeth
07
In suitable cases implants avoid the need to reduce healthy teeth to support a conventional bridge, depending on your situation.
Long-term Maintenance
08
With regular home care and professional reviews, implants and their restorations can be maintained as part of ongoing dental care.
Suitability for these options will be confirmed after clinical assessment and appropriate imaging.

What To Expect During Dental Implant Treatment
01
Assessment
A clinician will review your medical history, gum and tooth health, remaining teeth and treatment aims to assess suitability.
02
Records And Planning
X-rays and digital scans may be taken where clinically appropriate to plan implant position and the restorative outcome.
03
Preparatory Care
Any active gum disease, decay or other dental problems will be treated first; some patients may need bone grafting or other preparatory procedures.
04
Implant Placement
The implant, a titanium post acting as an artificial tooth root, is placed in the jawbone, commonly under local anaesthetic as a surgical procedure.
05
Healing And Review
Time is allowed for the implant to integrate with bone; you will be reviewed and any interim restorations adjusted as needed.
06
Final Restoration And Maintenance
A crown, bridge or denture is fitted when clinically appropriate and an ongoing maintenance schedule is agreed.
Are Dental Implants Right For You?
Dental implants may be a suitable option if you have one or more missing teeth and enough healthy bone and gum tissue to support an implant. Suitability depends on oral health, gum condition, remaining teeth, bite, bone quantity and quality, medical history, medicines, smoking and your treatment goals.
Not everyone is a candidate and some patients need additional procedures such as bone grafting or tooth extractions; these requirements can only be confirmed after a clinical assessment and appropriate imaging. Implant treatment carries potential risks and complications, and some implants may fail to integrate; your clinician will explain likely benefits, possible risks, alternatives and the consent process so you can make an informed decision.

Frequently Asked Questions
An implant can support a single crown to replace one missing tooth when there is adequate bone and healthy gums. Your clinician will assess the specific site, discuss whether an implant or a conventional bridge is more suitable, and outline preparatory work if needed.
Some patients require bone grafting if there is insufficient jawbone to support an implant, but not everyone needs this. A clinical assessment and imaging are needed to determine bone volume and whether grafting or other preparatory work is necessary.
Smoking can affect healing and increase the risk of complications around implants. Your clinician will discuss how smoking status may influence suitability and outcomes and consider this alongside other medical and lifestyle factors during assessment.
Multiple implants can support individual crowns or a small bridge depending on the number and position of missing teeth. Treatment planning considers bone support, bite and how the final restorations will function and look in your mouth.
If an implant fails to integrate the clinician will explain probable causes, stop further treatment until the area has healed and discuss options such as removing the implant, allowing healing and considering re-placement or alternative restorations depending on your circumstances.
Cleaning around implants usually involves careful brushing, interdental cleaning and regular professional hygiene appointments. Your dental team will demonstrate appropriate techniques, recommend suitable products and set a review schedule to help maintain implant health.
