Next review due October 2029
Dental implants are a long term solution for missing teeth.
You may want to replace missing teeth if you:
Dental implants look and function like your natural teeth. With proper care and attention they can last for several years.
With a dental implant, a titanium screw is placed into your jawbone, replacing your missing tooth root.
After it s fitted, the bone fuses to the implant, holding it in place.
A false tooth which matches your other teeth is fitted to the top of the implant.
Dental implants can be uncomfortable, but we offer different options for pain relief when getting them fitted.
What are the benefits of dental implants?
Dental implants can help with issues caused by missing teeth. These include loss of bone density and your remaining teeth moving due to lack of support.
Who are dental implants suitable for?
They can be suitable for adults of all ages, but aren t recommended for those under 18.

Siobhan's implant journey
Siobhan had the smile in a day treatment. Her dentist, Peter Sanders, fitted her full upper arch of teeth in a single appointment.
Speaking about her treatment, Siobhan said:
“I would often hide my smile with closed lips or laugh with my hand in front of my face. Suddenly I didn’t need to, and so this was a massive confidence boost for me.”
