Dental Implants
A titanium root placed in the jawbone to replace a missing tooth, with a porcelain crown on top. Planned with a CT scan, placed under local anaesthetic, restored once the bone has healed.
Every heading for adults and children: from preventive care to implants, aesthetics and orthodontics; what each involves, how long it takes and what comes after.

Removal of an impacted or partly erupted wisdom tooth under local anaesthetic. An X-ray measures the distance to the nerve; a CT scan is ordered if needed. Healing usually takes a week.
A fixed bridge carried by four or six implants in a jaw without teeth. Not one implant per tooth; how many suit you is read from the bone on the CT scan.
Preparing the bone first when there is not enough for an implant to hold. Raising the sinus floor in the back of the upper jaw is part of the same preparation.
When infection persists at the root tip of a root-treated tooth, that tip is removed in a small operation. The aim is to keep the tooth rather than extract it.
The information on this page is for general guidance and does not replace a dental examination. Treatment decisions are made after an intraoral examination and radiographic assessment.
After an examination and radiographic assessment we can discuss whether this is the right option for you.
