Bupa Dental Care Dundee
Dental implants in Dundee
Dental implant placement from your Dundee team
Our practice in Dundee places dental implants. Our caring and experienced team can help you restore missing teeth.
We provide a full range of implant dentistry, so whether you’re looking to replace one tooth or several, we can help. This includes full-arch restorations for those looking for a more extensive, full-mouth solution.
Meet our dedicated implant team
Our implant dentist, William Anderson, is experienced in placing dental implants and has been placing implants since 2015.
William is supported by our professional team of nurses, and our treatment coordinator who will be there for you throughout your treatment. She’s available to answer any questions you have or provide guidance and reassurance for all things implant-related.
Supporting treatments
As well as placing implants, we’re also experienced in providing the supporting treatments that can be needed before you have implants placed. These include procedures such as bone grafting, sinus lifts and soft tissue grafting.
We’re underpinned by the modern technology we have on-site, which includes a CBCT scanner to check your suitability for implants and determine where your implants should be placed.
Implant procedure
Learn about the step-by-step treatment process for having dental implants, from your initial consultation right through to aftercare.
Clinical assessment
Next, you’ll have a clinical assessment to make sure you’re eligible for treatment. Your dentist will take X-rays and decide exactly where your implants need to be placed. They’ll also talk you through the cost of treatment and let you know if you need a supporting treatment, such as a bone graft.
Placing your implants
This is where your dental implants are fixed into your jawbone. It’s a surgical procedure normally performed under local anaesthetic, so it’s relatively pain-free. If you feel nervous, your dentist may be able to offer sedation to put you at ease. Your bone and gums will need time to heal before attaching your replacement teeth, so we’ll fit you with some temporary teeth until you’re ready.
Fitting your replacement teeth
It’s normal to wait four to eight months for the implant to fully integrate with your jawbone, before your permanent, replacement teeth are fitted. They will be custom-made to fit the size, shape and colour of your existing teeth.
Aftercare
Keeping your implants clean and healthy is no more difficult than it is with your natural teeth. But if you find any areas tricky to reach, or if you come across any problems, we’re here to help. We’ll provide you with all the aftercare advice you need to have a successful implant.
No, orthodontics for adults is becoming more and more common. We can talk through your options with you.
We do understand that some people really struggle with dental treatment. But we have lots of ways to help put you at ease. Please just tell us how you feel and what worries you, and then we can work together to decide on the right approach.
Generally we recommend twice yearly check-ups every six months. However, this varies on a case by case basis. Your Bupa Dental Care dentist will talk to you about when and how often we need to see you.
Fillings repair small holes in your tooth enamel. If they aren’t filled, the decay will deepen. You’ll start to feel pain, and you could end up needing root canal treatment, which is much more significant and costs more. So although you might not feel pain right now, it’s best to repair these holes as soon as possible.
