IMPLANT DENTISTRY

Restore Your Smile with Dental Implants

Dental implants offer a permanent, highly effective solution for replacing missing teeth, whether it’s just one tooth, multiple teeth, or even full arch replacement.

The implant is a small, precision-crafted titanium post placed beneath your gums, acting like a natural tooth root. Over the next 12 weeks, the titanium integrates with your jawbone, forming a solid foundation for a crown, bridge, or even dentures.

At Gentle Touch we work with one of the best dental labs in the UK, allowing us to provide you with implant crowns, bridges or dentures that look and feel like your natural teeth.

With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime, making them a long-term solution for a healthy, natural-looking smile.

Why Dental Implants Are a Great Choice for You

Dental implants don’t just restore your smile—they bring back the confidence and comfort that come with healthy, natural-feeling teeth. Whether you’re struggling with chewing, speaking, or feeling self-conscious due to tooth loss, implants offer a lasting solution.

Comfort That Lasts
Implants integrate with your jawbone, giving you a secure, stable fit that feels just like your own teeth.

A Long-Term Solution
With proper care and maintenance, implants can last a lifetime, providing you a permanent solution to tooth loss.

Cost-Effective
Over time, implants can be more affordable compared to other treatments that need ongoing maintenance.

Why Replacing Missing Teeth Matters

When you lose a tooth, your other teeth become over loaded to compensate which can cause further damage, it’s not just your smile that’s affected. The jawbone can shrink and weaken, leading to changes in your facial structure, like sunken cheeks or thinning lips, which can cause premature aging. Implants help preserve the shape of your face by supporting the muscles and preventing bone loss, helping you maintain a youthful, natural appearance.

Types of Dental Implants

When it comes to replacing missing teeth, there isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach. Depending on your needs and the condition of your jawbone, your dentist will recommend the most suitable type of implant. Here’s a breakdown of the most common dental implant options:

Single Tooth Implants

If you're missing just one tooth, a single dental implant is an ideal solution. The implant is placed in the jawbone where your natural tooth used to be and a custom-made crown is attached to restore your smile. This is a permanent, natural-looking alternative to bridges or dentures that doesn’t impact the surrounding teeth.

Best for: Patients missing one tooth.
Benefits:
No Impact on Adjacent Teeth
Unlike traditional bridges or denture, it does not require involving any nearby healthy teeth.

Natural Look & Function Mimics a real tooth in appearance and strength.

Multiple Tooth Implants

For patients who have lost more than one tooth, multiple implants can be placed to support a series of crowns or a dental bridge. This option prevents the need for removable partial dentures and provides a long-lasting solution that allows you to chew, speak, and smile confidently.

Best for: Patients missing several teeth in a row.
Benefits:
Improved stability and function
An implant bridge is firmly anchored with dental implants, providing a secure and natural chewing experience. With a fixed bridge there is no slipping or shifting, allowing for better speech and comfort.

Protects Adjacent Teeth
Unlike traditional bridges, an implant bridge does not require trimming
