Dental Implants

Dental implants essentially mimic your natural tooth root, filling the gap left behind by a lost tooth. They bond to your jawbone over time, becoming a solid and durable base for a natural-looking replacement tooth. Dental implants are seen as superior in dental restoration and are a safe, durable and very aesthetic way to fill the gap in your smile.

Dental implants offer a whole range of benefits, including enhancing your appearance, improving the way your teeth function, and stimulating your jaw to prevent bone loss. They are long-lasting, strong and don’t require any of your natural teeth to be altered for them to be fitted.

After an initial consultation, the dental implant procedure typically involves placing a titanium implant post in your jaw during a relatively short surgical appointment. The implant fuses with your jawbone over time. When healed and integrated, a custom-made crown or bridge is fitted on top to give you a beautiful and secure new smile.

Dental implants have the potential to last for many years if they are looked after correctly. This includes keeping up with a good oral hygiene routine to keep your gums and remaining natural teeth healthy and strong. It is also important to visit your dentist and hygienist for regular recall appointments, so they can keep an eye on your dental implant and oral health.

Yes, dental implants are considered a very safe procedure with a high success rate. They are made from titanium, which is a biocompatible material that is well-tolerated by the human body. Also, our dental implants are placed and restored by highly trained and experienced dental professionals, who ensure safe treatment.

The cost of dental implants varies depending on the number being placed and your individual case. At our practice in Cirencester, placement of dental implants costs from £1300. We can give you a more exact estimate at your initial consultation.

No, dental implants look and feel like natural teeth. We can match the shape and colour of your existing teeth when creating your final fixed crown or bridge so it blends seamlessly into your smile.

We use local anaesthetic during dental implant surgery to ensure you are comfortable during the procedure, and won’t feel any pain. After treatment, it is normal to experience some discomfort, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain relief. Implant treatment is often less painful than having a tooth extraction, and most patients are able to return to their usual routines the next day.
