Dental Implants

Dental Implants at SJ Smith & Associates

Missing teeth can affect your confidence, speech, and ability to eat comfortably. Dental implants offer a reliable and long-lasting solution to restore your smile and improve oral function.

What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are small titanium posts that act as artificial tooth roots. They are placed securely into the jawbone and serve as a foundation for fixed or removable replacement teeth, such as crowns, bridges, or dentures.

Why Choose Dental Implants?

Natural Appearance: Implants look and feel like your own teeth.
Durable and Long-lasting: With proper care, implants can last a lifetime.
Improved Comfort and Function: Eat, speak, and smile confidently.
Bone Health: Implants help preserve jawbone density, preventing the sunken appearance caused by tooth loss.

Our Implant Process

Consultation: We assess your oral health and discuss your suitability for implants.
Treatment Planning: Using advanced imaging technology, we create a tailored plan for precise implant placement.
Implant Placement: Performed under local anaesthesia, ensuring your comfort throughout the procedure.
Restoration: Once the implant has integrated with the jawbone, a custom-made crown or bridge is attached to complete your new smile.

Who Can Have Dental Implants?
Most adults with good oral health and sufficient jawbone density are suitable for implants. If necessary, we can offer preparatory treatments such as bone grafting to ensure the best results.

Five Benefits of Dental Implants at SJ Smith & associates

1. Natural Look and Feel

Dental implants are designed to look, feel, and function like your natural teeth, giving you the confidence to smile, speak, and eat without worry.

2. Long Lasting Solution

With proper care, dental implants can last many years, often a lifetime, making them a reliable and cost effective choice in the long term.

3. Improved Oral Health

Unlike bridges, implants don’t require altering healthy teeth. They also help maintain bone structure and prevent the shifting of nearby teeth.

4. Comfortable and Secure Fit

Because implants are fixed into your jawbone, they stay securely in place, no slipping or discomfort like with removable dentures.

5. Eat and Speak with Confidence

Enjoy your favourite foods and speak clearly without the worry of loose dentures or missing teeth affecting your lifestyle.

     What a wonderful Dentist, so friendly and efficient. Working very long hours and travelling to and from London. My kids and I have just been for our first appointment, fixed a couple of problems in no time, the dental nurse was also fantastic and reassuring. The dentist even took the time to show me how I can help my child look after his teeth whilst he was in the chair. Very happy patients. Thank you

     Used this dentist for the first time as a new patient. The dentist I saw was from London, he comes up for 3 days every week. He was just fabulous and sorted a few problems within no time. His assistant was also very good, and extremely friendly, making sure that I was fine throughout the procedure.
I did have to wait for a while to be seen as they were very busy, but they apologised, and I understand that after the pandemic they are playing catch up. Not their fault!
I would highly recommend this practice.
