How do dental implants work?

A dental implant is a small, titanium rod that is roughly the size of the fingernail on your little finger.

The rod is inserted into your jawbone: this is usually carried out under a local anaesthetic but other anaesthetic options can be discussed with your dentist. The rod acts as a new ‘root’ for crowns that look just like natural teeth.

Once your implant has been inserted, you will need to wait for 3 – 6 months for it to ‘fuse’ with your jawbone. Your jawbone will graft to the rod and make it part of your jaw. This is what makes implants so secure and permanent.

After your implants have settled into place, your dentist will then make bespoke crowns that will be permanently affixed to the implant. These crowns will be colour-matched, shaped and sized to look like your natural teeth.

Dental implants are a simple, long lasting and cost effective solution to missing teeth.
Implants are permanent, easy to maintain and are also highly cost-effective because they can last a lifetime with good oral care.

Frequently asked questions

General Questions answered here, don't hesitate to contact us about any enquiry

Do you accept new patients?

Yes! We're always happy to welcome new patients of all ages. You can book your first appointment online or by phone, and we'll have you fill out a short health history form before your visit so we can get to know you and your smile.

Does teeth whitening damage your enamel?

No, professional whitening performed or supervised by a dentist is safe and doesn't harm your enamel. Some patients experience mild, temporary sensitivity for a day or two, which fades on its own. We'll assess your teeth first to make sure whitening is right for you and recommend the safest option.

When should my child have their first dental visit?

We recommend bringing your child in by their first birthday, or within six months of their first tooth appearing. Early visits are short and friendly, the goal is to check development and help your child feel comfortable at the dentist, so check-ups become a normal, stress-free part of growing up.

How often should I visit the dentist for a check-up?

We recommend a check-up and professional cleaning every six months. Regular visits let us catch small issues, like early decay or gum inflammation, before they become painful or expensive to treat. If you have gum disease or other ongoing concerns, we may suggest more frequent visits.

What should I do in a dental emergency?

Call us right away, we reserve time for same-day emergency appointments. For a knocked-out tooth, keep it moist (in milk or saliva, not water) and get to us within 30–60 minutes if possible. For severe pain or swelling, don't wait it out; early treatment almost always means a simpler fix.

What happens at my first appointment?

Your first visit includes a thorough exam of your teeth, gums, and bite, along with any necessary X-rays. We'll then walk you through what we find in plain language and create a personalized treatment plan, with costs explained upfront. No lectures, no pressure, just a clear picture of your oral health. Plan for about 45–60 minutes.
