Dental Implants for Bristol

Missing teeth or wobbly dentures?

If you’ve got a missing tooth, or teeth, here’s a new alternative to a denture or a fixed bridge. Dental implants are an increasingly popular and highly effective way to replace missing teeth. They’re permanent, easy to fix and are colour-matched to blend in with the natural colour of your teeth.

If you have dentures that are loose and wobbly, dental implants can also be a great way of providing a stable base for your dentures to sit on. This means you can begin to smile, eat and chew again with absolute confidence.

What are teeth implants for?

Implants can be used to replace missing teeth and stabilise loose dentures. So if you find you are smiling with you hand over your mouth, have tooth gaps you are embarrassed about or can't eat and chew due to wobbly dentures, then dental implants could be your perfect solution.

How are dental implants placed?

The procedure is a minor surgical one which involves replacing your missing tooth rooth with the implant. Dental implants have been used for many years now with an excellent success rate so you are sure to have a great result.

Once the your new implant has been placed we normally wait around 3-6 months to allow full healing, then we can place a new tooth on top. On some cases it is possible to provide a new tooth for you sooner than this using a technique called 'immediate loading', to find out if this option is suitable for you please discuss this with us when you come to see us.

Do implants hurt?

No. All treatment is carried out under a local anaesthetic and for very nervous patients we can offer dental sedation. If you feel you are nervous of this procedure, why not download our free guide to overcoming your fear at the dentist

How many dental implants will I need?

This depends on how many teeth you have missing. As a general rule we can 'bridge' between implants, so if you have 4 teeth missing in a row we could place 2 implants at each end and 'suspend' 2 teeth between them. However it does depend on several factors and only a proper dental implant examination at our Bristol practice will be able to tell for sure.

If you have no teeth at all, then it is possible to provide a new ful set of teeth with just 4 implants.

I am nervous of the dentist, how can I get dental implants?

We have a great deal of experience with working with people that are nervous, to help we've written a free guide and can offer dental sedation for implants.
