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.

What problems do we solve?

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

 All teeth missing

 Loose fitting dentures

 Lost teeth caused by an accident

 Lost teeth caused by gum disease

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.
Dental Implants Components

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.

First of all, the lady at reception was attentive, knowledgeable, and very polite.I had my first appointment with the wonderful dentist, Josie Muirhead-Smith. To ensure an accurate diagnosis and identify the cause of my pain, Josie explained several treatment options to me. I decided to have the tooth extracted, and the procedure was carried out successfully.Throughout the entire process, I received excellent care and treatment. Josie was professional, kind, and reassuring, and she made me feel very comfortable throughout the procedure.I would give Green Park Dental Practice 10 out of 10. I would like to sincerely thank Josie and all the staff for their excellent care and professionalism.

Dr Smillie has been my dentist for more than 2 decades… he has given me consistently top-level care. He is the kind of clinician who always puts patients first- sadly very difficult to find in current times.The receptionists are also very patient and efficient, and have also been there long-term which they should be rewarded for. They complete the package.

Having avoided dental treatment for several years because of previous bad experiences and the anxiety connected to that I was unable to avoid it any longer. I signed up with Josie Muirhead-Smith at Green Park Dental Practice. As well as the dental anxiety I'm also autistic so everything is more difficult before I even arrive for an appointment.<br>I was given an initial checkup and a printed treatment plan which was daunting as I needed a lot of treatment but I was able to space out each individual treatment to suit me. As for the appointments, Josie is incredibly patient and gives me the reassurance and time to process throughout the whole appointment. She explains what she's going to do and asks throughout how I'm doing pausing if needed. She, along with the dental nurse works quietly and professionally to make the treatment as comfortable as possible. I can't recommend her highly enough especially if you have any sort of anxiety or additional needs.
