Take me through the process

At an initial consultation, we will determine whether you are suitable for this treatment plan. Your medical history and your current state of health will be taken into account, as those with underlying medical and dental conditions may need to control these before continuing with the procedure.

We will then take a series of scans to establish whether you have sufficient bone density in your jawbone to be able to support the titanium rod. If you have worn dentures for an extended period of time and have found that they have begun to slip and frequently fall out, you may be experiencing a natural loss of bone in the jaw.

We are able to insert a small piece of human, animal or synthetic bone into your jaw for an implant to be attached to. If you do not have sufficient bone density to immediately undergo the implant treatment, you can rest assured knowing that we are able to perform this bone graft to set you on your way.

The minor surgical procedure that takes place for the implant involves a small titanium rod to be placed directly into the jawbone. Here it fuses with bone and surrounding tissue to create a permanent and stable site for your crown, bridge or denture to be firmly secured to.

After a period of time to allow your body to heal, we can create a natural looking tooth or teeth that can be permanently placed onto the titanium rod to give you back your smile again.

These false teeth look and feel as real as your original teeth and you can bite and chew without concern. It is with this attention to detail that we have found our patients to be so satisfied with the final results. We are very pleased to be able to offer you this treatment and hope that it can change your life for the better.
