Dental Implants: A Permanent Solution for Missing Teeth

Missing teeth can affect your confidence, ability to eat, and long-term oral health. Dental implants are the gold standard for tooth replacement, offering a natural-looking, durable, and permanent solution.

The Benefits of Dental Implants

A Long-Lasting Solution – With proper care, implants can last a lifetime.
Improved Function – Eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
Subtle Appearance – Designed to blend seamlessly with your existing teeth.
Prevents Bone Loss – Implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing deterioration.
No Impact on Other Teeth – Unlike bridges, implants do not rely on surrounding teeth for support.

The Implant Procedure

  1. Consultation & Planning – We assess your oral health and discuss the best implant options for you.
  2. Implant Placement – A titanium post is placed into the jawbone to act as a replacement root.
  3. Healing Period – The implant integrates with the bone over several months.
  4. Final Restoration – A custom-made crown, bridge, or denture is fitted onto the implant for a natural finish.

Oral Surgery & Difficult Extractions

In some cases, tooth extractions require a specialist approach, particularly for impacted, broken, or severely decayed teeth. Our team provides gentle, expert care for all types of extractions, including wisdom tooth removal and surgical extractions.

Why Might You Need a Difficult Extraction?

Impacted Wisdom Teeth – If wisdom teeth don’t have enough space to erupt properly, they can cause pain and infections.
Severely Damaged or Broken Teeth – If a tooth is beyond repair, surgical extraction may be required.
Infection or Advanced Decay – In cases where a root canal isn’t an option, removal may be necessary to prevent further complications.

The Extraction Procedure

  1. Examination & X-Rays – We assess the position of the tooth and plan the safest removal method.
  2. Numbing & Sedation – Local anaesthetic ensures you won’t feel pain, and sedation is available for anxious patients.
  3. Careful Extraction – The tooth is gently removed, with minimal impact on surrounding tissue.
  4. Aftercare & Recovery Support – We provide full aftercare instructions to promote smooth healing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is getting a dental implant painful?

The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic, so you won’t feel pain during the surgery. Some mild discomfort may be present during healing, but this is manageable with over-the-counter pain relief.

How long does it take to heal after an extraction?

Most patients recover within a few days to a week, depending on the complexity of the extraction. We provide detailed aftercare to support your healing

Can anyone get dental implants?

Most people are suitable for implants, but good oral health and sufficient bone density are required. If you’ve had missing teeth for a long time or suffer from bone loss, bone grafting may be needed before implant placement.
