Dental Implants
Missing teeth can affect the way you eat, speak and smile. Dental implants provide a fixed solution designed to replace missing teeth while restoring both function and appearance.
At Shaftesbury Dental Care, implant treatment is carefully planned around your individual needs. Our clinicians provide implant solutions ranging from the replacement of a single missing tooth to more complex full-arch rehabilitation.
What Is a Dental Implant?
A dental implant is a small titanium fixture placed into the jawbone to replace the root of a missing tooth. Once it has integrated with the bone, it can support a custom-made crown, bridge or, in suitable cases, help stabilise a denture.
Unlike a conventional bridge, replacing a single tooth with an implant does not usually require the neighbouring healthy teeth to be prepared. This makes implants an important option when our aim is to restore a missing tooth while preserving surrounding natural tooth structure.
When Might Dental Implants Be Suitable?
Dental implants may be considered if you have one missing tooth, several missing teeth, or require more extensive replacement of teeth. Suitability depends on factors including your oral health, bone availability, medical history and individual treatment goals.
Your Implant Journey
Your treatment begins with a detailed consultation and assessment. We will discuss your concerns, examine your teeth and gums and, where appropriate, arrange the imaging needed to plan treatment safely and accurately. Your dentist will then explain the recommended approach, expected stages, healing period and restorative options before treatment begins.
For suitable patients, the implant is placed into the jawbone and allowed time to integrate. Once ready, the final tooth or teeth are carefully designed to restore your bite and create a natural-looking result.
