Feel confident eating out in public again.
Dental Implants are a great way for you to fill unsightly gaps and are a great and permanent alternative to partial dentures – without any of the clasps and metal work that comes with a partial denture.
They also help to prevent any further continuing bone loss which occurs when a tooth is removed. With a dental implant you will be able to eat, drink, laugh and smile with confidence (and the confidence that no one will know that the tooth isn’t your own!)
Using a dental implant to replace your missing tooth or teeth is a popular long term solution to restoring your smile.
See what our patients say…
I cannot recommend Southport Dental enough. I’ve had a lot of work done, including implants. Everything was explained beforehand and throughout and everybody made me feel at ease.
I was very nervous when I first stared going so I was sedated for some of the work but after a few treatments I was able to have the rest of the work done without sedation.
Thank you to David for his amazing work, he really is a genius! And thank you to the very kind dental nurse who held my hand when I needed it! You guys have done incredible work and made me very happy. Thank you.
My journey started over a year ago with wanting implants and being to different dentists over the years David and his team had a task on their hands!
Well what can I say, from the first initial consultation I was put at ease and given an in-depth plan.
Each visit from being greeted by reception to dental nurse assistants to David himself working hard to keep me at ease to help me not just eat properly but more importantly SMILE once again with ease !
Thank you
What Is A Dental Implant?
A dental implant is a modern solution for replacing missing teeth. It’s essentially an artificial tooth root, made of titanium, that is securely placed into your jawbone. This implant acts as a sturdy foundation for a crown, bridge, or denture, ensuring they stay firmly in place.
The primary goal of a dental implant is to achieve a strong bond with your jawbone. Titanium is used because it easily integrates with bone tissue, creating a solid and lasting support for your new teeth.
With proper care, your dental implants can last a lifetime. Regular brushing, flossing, and routine visits to our clinic will keep your implants in excellent condition. Invest in your smile and enjoy the confidence and functionality that dental implants provide!

Who Can Get Implants?
Most people who have a healthy mouth will be suitable for the treatment. There are some cases where you would not be suitable for them or where there would be an increased risk of the treatment failing. These include:
- Heavy smoking & excessive alcohol intake: this can disrupt the healing of your gums.
- Gum disease: any gum disease must be treated before the implant treatment. Gum disease is a major cause of bone loss. A thorough assessment of your gums would take place before treatment begins to ensure the success of the implant.
- Immunocompromised individuals: patients who are taking forms of steroids, suffer from an auto-immune disease or who are undergoing radiation treatment.
- Teeth grinders: a splint that is worn at night can remedy this.
How Many Teeth Can Be Attached To An Implant?
Normally an implant would support a single crown. This isn’t always the case. If you have several teeth that are missing you wouldn’t necessarily need an implant for each tooth.
One implant will support a bridge or a denture. If you need a full smile reconstruction, and 10 or more new teeth need to be supported in either your upper or lower jaw, a minimum of 5 implants would be used.
The number of implants needed is dependent on a number of factors including the volume of bone available and the density of that tissue.
As with any treatment, at Southport Road Dental we will always talk to you about your different options to allow you to come to a decision about your smile that you are happy with.
