Dental implants are small titanium screws that act as an anchor for your replacement teeth. Just like a natural tooth root, they bond with your jaw to provide a strong and stable foundation.

What are dental implants for?
You can use dental implants for:
- Single tooth replacement
- Replacing multiple teeth
- Full mouth reconstruction
- Stabilising dentures
Do dental implants look real?
Implants look very like natural teeth. In fact, you probably won’t notice the difference. And neither will anyone else. They function like natural teeth too, so you can eat just as you did before you lost your teeth.
How long do dental implants take?
Once the dental implants have been placed it usually takes around 4-6 months to heal.
Will dental implants damage my teeth?
Bone loss is something that happens when you’ve had missing teeth for any length of time. It can cause the shape of your face to change and affect how you speak. Implants reduce bone loss. And, by helping to spread the force of biting and chewing evenly, implants can also preserve your remaining teeth.
Do dental implants hurt?
During your dental implant surgery you will be under local anaesthetic, so you won’t feel any pain during the process. As with all surgery, there will be some discomfort afterwards, however, this should be manageable with painkillers.
