Dental implants
Serving patients throughout Bath and surrounding areas
Teeth are important for more than oral health, they also play an important part in improving self confidence. A missing tooth can affect the way you chew, speak and smile, but with dental implants tooth loss doesn’t have to be forever. Whether you are looking to replace a single tooth, multiple teeth or looking for a more permanent replacement for full dentures, dental implants are the next best thing to your natural teeth.
How implants work
An implant is a titanium post which is placed in the jaw to replace a missing tooth. The procedure is normally carried out over two visits. During the first visit the implant is placed into the jaw. Over the next few months the natural bone begins to fuse with the post to provide a firm foundation – just like the root of a tooth. Once fully healed your dentist will permanently attach the replacement tooth onto the implant.
Following treatment, good oral hygiene is more important than ever to keep the implant and surrounding gums in the best condition. A thorough daily brushing and flossing routine will ensure the implant lasts for as long as possible.

Dental implants are the ideal solution for many people. During our many years we’ve helped people who had:
✔ A single missing tooth
✔ Many missing teeth

✔ Loose fitting dentures
✔ Lost teeth caused by an accident

The benefits of implants
- Implants look and feel just like natural teeth – you shouldn’t notice any difference.
- Implants provide permanent stability and comfort without affecting healthy teeth.
- Implants won’t come loose or fall out.
- Implants can last for many years if you maintain good oral hygiene.
- Implants prevent ageing bone loss, by stimulating your bone structure and stabilising the surrounding teeth.
Are you suitable for treatment?
Patients must have healthy gums and enough jawbone to support dental implants. At your initial consultation our dentist will use x-rays and scans to establish if pre-treatment is required and will explain this further.
Some patients may need to see a hygienist for a course of treatment to ensure their gums are strong and healthy before the dental implant process can begin. our dentist will also check that there is sufficient bone for an implant to be placed successfully at this initial consultation. If there is insufficient bone you may need to need pre-treatment before your dental implants can be placed. This may include oral surgery procedures such as bone grafting, bone expansion or sinus lifts.
