Why Have Dental Implants?

They look and feel like natural teeth

No difficulty eating and chewing

Speak clearly

Protect other teeth and bone

Straightforward procedure in most patients

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 replacement for the root part of your natural tooth and is fixed into a socket in your jaw-bone which will support a crown, bridge or secure a denture firmly in place. Implants are made from titanium, a material that integrates easily with bone tissue.

The key goal when putting in an implant is to ensure that there is close contact between the outer surface of the implant and the bone tissue so that they fuse together. This fusion means that there is a strong support for your new teeth.

As long as you look after the health of your mouth then your implants can last a lifetime. Regular brushing, flossing and visits to us will keep your implants in great working order.

We’re offering you the chance to receive a Complimentary Guide to Dental Implants which, reveals how you can finally put an end to denture suffering and missing and wobbly teeth.

Our guide reveals medically tested principles and advice on dental implants. And explains how to improve your smile, and move away from ill-fitting, irritating dentures that pop-up, gag you, fly out or get stuck when eating.

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.
