Getting dental implants is a popular procedure that provides an alternative solution to older, more traditional methods, such as dentures, when it comes to tooth loss. Dental implants offer a more reliable and natural-looking replacement for missing teeth and when placed correctly, they can last you a lifetime, meaning that you don’t have to worry about removing them in the evenings or when eating and drinking.
Although getting dental implants is a hugely popular procedure, a lot of patients still have some concerns when it comes to the treatment and what is involved. With this in mind, here are some things that you need to know about getting dental implants.
Dental implants are a good replacement for damaged or missing teeth as they are more permanent and natural-looking. Some patients may not want to wear dentures or temporary replacements, such as a dental bridge, so getting dental implants is the most practical treatment. Surgery is needed to fit dental implants, as the procedure involves replacing tooth roots and fitting artificial teeth to your jawbone. As time goes on, the metal fitting used when getting dental implants will fuse with the jawbone which then creates a solid foundation for your new teeth, without the worry of it coming loose or being uncomfortable to wear, as other replacements might.
When it comes to getting dental implants, many patients worry that they won’t look like their natural teeth and will stand out in comparison to their natural teeth. However, dental implants work and look just like natural teeth. Because dental implants are connected to your jawbone, they are more stable and long-lasting than temporary fixtures, which means you needn’t worry about biting and chewing. Here at Dental Solutions, we only use premium products and Nobel Biocare implant systems and technology, so that your new replacement teeth will match your surrounding natural teeth.
Before getting dental implants, the lead up to the procedure will likely involve a few appointments with our team of dentists, nurses and hygienists. Our dental implant packages include a free 30-minute consultation with Gavin, our Principal Dentist, who will discuss the treatment and procedure with you and help you to decide on the best implants for you. We will also take some x-rays and photographs prior to your treatment and support you through the steps before your dental implant procedure with Richard Brookshaw. We may also recommend some pre-implant hygiene treatment.
We have a dedicated implant suite here at Dental Solutions to make the procedure all the more comfortable for you, including a TV in the ceiling so you have something else to focus on during the procedure!
When getting dental implants, the actual treatment takes around one and a half hours to complete and none of our patients have reported any pain whilst getting dental implants, so if you’re worried about that aspect, there’s no need to be. We understand that this may be quite a big procedure for you, so if you have any questions or concerns, just let us know. There are many advantages to getting dental implants, such as improved appearance, better self-esteem and improvements in the way that you eat and bite. As well as this, you can also expect to see some improvements in your overall oral health.

I didn’t think implants would be an option due to the small space however I was proven wrong. Gavin went above and beyond during the process to ensure I ended up with an amazing smile. I was so happy with my teeth I even cried. Can’t thank Gavin and the team enough for everything they’ve done.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Vanessa Maria2024-09-25I have been a patient of Dental solutions for around 6 years and every visit has been a positive and pleasurable experience. I was in pain with a bottom front tooth a week ago, so phoned the practice and was given an appointment with Lauren an hour later. I am going through a difficult time at the moment and Lauren was very kind and caring as well as thorough and professional. Thankfully the source of pain was just induced by clenching, in turn causing sensitivity. Lauren prescribed a toothpaste which helped almost immediately. Thanks Lauren for the treatment suggestion but also for being so kind.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Carolyne Rogers2024-09-21I saw Lauren last week as I needed a root canal on a molar tooth.

Gavin and his team are lovely and immediately put you at ease, I really couldn't imagine going anywhere else now.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Andy Mackay2024-08-25Having a great fear of the dentist from my teens and having neglected my teeth since, i was forced to seek attention when my two front upper teeth came out. Gavin at Dental solutions was superb, putting me totally at ease. I then had all my top teeth replaced by implants. This was a totally free of pain experience. Two years later following a facial collision with a dog, I had four loose bottom teeth at the front. Another trip to see Gavin and again superb treatment throughout and painless. Another implant. The service at Dental Solutions is first class from the receptionists through to the dentist. I would recommend them without reservation.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.tom floyd2024-08-25An outstanding experience from beginning to end. I first connected with Dental Solutions through a friend's referral. Initially, I had planned to go to Turkey because I was unhappy with my smile and felt very self-conscious about it. Before making that decision, I visited Dental Solutions to see if there was any way to preserve my original teeth instead of undergoing invasive procedures abroad. The team exceeded my expectations at every step. Lauren suggested Invisalign treatment, and the results were incredible—my smile was completely transformed. She monitored my progress closely, even providing a home camera kit and regularly checking in via text to ensure everything was going smoothly. After the Invisalign treatment was complete, Gavin recommended edge bonding and assured me the results would be fantastic. Given my exceptional experience up to that point, I trusted their expertise and proceeded with the edge bonding. When I came in for the procedure, Dr. Amit delivered outstanding results. Having spoken with others who’ve had similar work done elsewhere, I can confidently say that the quality and care I received were unmatched. Dr. Amit took his time, thoroughly explaining each step and demonstrating his genuine passion for dentistry. Overall, the experience offered excellent value for money and was truly enjoyable. It has renewed my commitment to staying on top of dental appointments and restored my confidence in visiting the dentist. I highly recommend them.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.Vrancken` Matthew2024-08-24I have been a customer for years now and my experiences have always been 5 star.
