Patient information
Everything you need to know about dental implants, in plain English: what they are, the options for replacing missing teeth, what treatment involves, what it costs and how to look after your new teeth. If you'd rather talk it through, call us or book a consultation.
Understanding implants
Dental implants
What an implant is, how it works, who it suits and how it compares with bridges and dentures.
Missing teeth solutions
Why it's worth replacing missing teeth, and an honest comparison of every option.
Frequently asked questions
Answers to the questions patients ask most, from suitability and comfort to cost and aftercare.
Treatments
Bone grafting
If there isn't enough bone to hold an implant, it can often be built up first, or at the same time. A sinus lift does this for the upper back teeth.
Bone grafting and sinus lifts
Implant hygiene
Implants can't decay, but the gum and bone around them need care. Daily cleaning, hygienist visits and regular check-ups help them last.
Implant maintenance and hygiene
iTero scanning
Precise digital impressions, often without traditional impression trays: a hand-held wand scans your mouth and builds a 3D model on screen.
iTero digital scanning
Several missing teeth
A bridge supported by two or more implants, so you can bite and chew with confidence.
