Gold Standard Treatment
Our gold standard option to replace a missing tooth or teeth are dental implants, which can help restore a healthy and natural smile. Dr Neil is incredibly experienced with this treatment, so you can have complete peace of mind that you will be in the very best hands.
Dental Implants are based on the design of a natural tooth which is commonly described as having two main parts: the crown that sits above the gum and the root that sits securely below the gum.

What is the dental implant treatment process?
If you decide to go ahead with a dental implant, your expert implant surgeon will begin by administering a local anaesthetic, to ensure the process is pain free for you, however we also offer a sedation option if you prefer. A small, safe titanium post is then placed into the jaw at the site of the missing tooth. This will act as a secure ‘root’ for the new tooth, once the implanted post is absorbed by the bone. The area is then stitched up so the jaw bone is able to fully bind to the implant and hold it firm.
In a later appointment, your implant surgeon will take detailed impressions of your teeth and gums, including matching the colour of the surrounding teeth. The results are then sent to a dental laboratory so they can make your new tooth fit and match your mouth. Once the tooth is made you will again be given pain relief so the implant procedure can be completed – your new tooth is securely attached to the healed titanium ‘root’.
We will continue to monitor the dental implant to ensure you do not experience any additional problems, however with their extensive experience, your implant surgeon has an excellent success record and a considerable number of happy implant patients. Your new dental implant will mean you can now enjoy eating, drinking and smiling with complete confidence once more.
Have I got enough bone for dental implants?
There is a type of implant called a Zygomatic implant that is placed in the cheek bone rather than the jawbone, and this type of dental implant can be used for full mouth restoration. The Zygomatic dental implant process has a high success rate, and it is considered a very safe procedure.
What aftercare is required?
Your implant surgeon will explain the aftercare required during your appointment, they will also give you some information outlining the aftercare process. This information can be found here.
