Dental Implants in Cambridge
Restore missing teeth with a long-lasting solution

Dental implants offer a strong, secure, and natural-looking solution for missing teeth. Implants are titanium posts that are surgically placed in the jawbone to act just like tooth roots. As titanium is a durable metal that is very well tolerated by the body, these cylindrical posts eventually fuse with the bone, providing a firm foundation for a crown or bridge.

Benefits of tooth implants for replacing missing teeth

  • Secure – dental implants stay firmly in place and will not slip when you are eating, speaking, or become loose over time. As they are held in place by your bone, you can be confident of their strength and durability. 
  • Aesthetic – teeth implants look and feel just like natural teeth. You will be able to eat, drink, and talk just as you did before, as well as show off a winning smile.
  • Effective – dental implants are a well-established, safe, and highly effective way of replacing one or more missing teeth in any part of your mouth.
  • Supportive – teeth implants help to support and sustain your facial structure and remaining natural teeth. They protect your gums and can be fitted with no detrimental effect on your existing healthy teeth.
  • Innovative – dental implants use cutting-edge digital dental technology combined with specialist expertise to create the next best thing to a natural tooth.

What to expect when getting an implant tooth

Step 1: Initial Consultation & Planning

We carry out a full assessment of your general health, how your teeth fit together, your oral health, and the density of your jawbone. If we discover you have insufficient bone volume, you may need a grafting procedure to allow for the successful placement of implants.

Step 2: Fitting

The titanium implant is placed into your jawbone by our skilled implantologist, using local anaesthetic to minimise any discomfort. The implant will take 3-6 months to heal and fuse to the bone, so a temporary tooth is fitted to protect your gum during the healing process.

Step 3: Smile!

Once your implant has fully healed and integrated, we fit your final crown or bridge and complete your brand-new smile. We will give you some advice on how to look after your dental implant and leave you to start showing off your smile!

What types of dental implants are available?

Single Implant

If you’re missing just one tooth, a single dental implant is often the ideal solution. Imagine a strong, secure, and beautiful replacement tooth that looks and feels just like your natural teeth. That’s what a single implant offers! We gently place a small titanium post into your jawbone, which acts like a new tooth root. Once it’s settled, we attach a custom-made crown on top. Unlike alternative options like dentures or bridges, an implant doesn’t rely on your surrounding healthy teeth for support, so they remain untouched and strong. Plus, it helps prevent your remaining teeth from shifting and strengthens your jawbone!

Multiple implants

When you have several missing teeth, you might think you need an implant for every single gap but that’s not always the case! We have clever ways to replace multiple teeth efficiently. Sometimes, we can place a few strategically positioned implants to support a custom-made bridge. This means fewer implants might be needed to restore a whole section of your smile. This method is particularly effective, especially if some areas of your jawbone might not be strong enough for individual implants. It’s all about finding the smartest and most effective solution for your unique situation.

Full arch implants

For those missing a full set of upper or lower teeth, we understand the challenges traditional dentures can present, from discomfort to that worry about them slipping. While dentures have come a long way, they don’t stop the jawbone from shrinking over time. That’s where dental implants offer a truly superior alternative, providing stability, comfort, and a real boost in confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions

Dental implants have the potential to last a lifetime if they are properly looked after. This includes maintaining an excellent brushing and flossing routine, looking after your general health, and attending regular check-up appointments with your dentist. The crown or bridge that the implant supports may need to be replaced over time due to normal wear and tear.
Most people are suitable candidates for dental implants, provided they are generally healthy and able to undergo a routine dental procedure, such as an extraction. It’s beneficial if you have good oral hygiene, healthy gums, and enough bone in your jaw to attach the implant. If you don’t have enough bone density, this can often be rectified with a bone graft. Teeth implants are not usually offered to younger patients whose jaws are still growing. It also helps if the patient is not a heavy smoker, because smoking can slow down the healing process. We will thoroughly discuss your overall suitability for implant treatment at your initial consultation, and it’s likely you will be suitable for the treatment.
We use local anaesthetic during dental implant surgery to ensure you are comfortable during the procedure. You won’t be able to feel a thing. After treatment, it is normal to experience some discomfort, and this can be managed with pain relief advised by your dentist. Implant treatment is often less painful than having a tooth extraction, and most patients can return to their usual routines the next day.
The whole process, from missing teeth to secure fixed replacements, can take several months. The implant surgery is a relatively quick procedure, but the implants themselves need around 3-6 months to heal and fuse before fixed permanent teeth can be placed. The treatment process will be longer if you need a bone graft or other procedure first, but your new smile will be more than worth it in the end.
If you have one or more missing teeth, you may also consider restoring your full smile with a bridge or denture. These alternatives are less expensive than an implant, but don’t have the same superior stability, aesthetics, and versatility. They are also not likely to last as long. We are happy to discuss all the options for replacing your missing teeth and find the best one for you.
Yes, teeth implants are very successful at replacing a single missing tooth or multiple missing teeth. We can insert several strategically placed implants to support a bridge or partial denture, replacing a number of adjacent teeth. Dental implants can also be used to replace a full arch of upper or lower missing teeth, giving you back the confidence of a full smile.
You should treat your dental implants just like natural teeth and include them in your normal oral hygiene routine. As they are made from artificial materials, your implants are invulnerable to decay or cavities, but you will still need to brush and floss to keep the gum surrounding the implant healthy and problem-free.
