What are dental implants?

A dental implant is an artificial tooth root made of titanium that a dentist with a special interest in Oral and Facial Surgery places into your jaw. Dental implants are ideal for people in good oral health who have lost one or more teeth.

Your Solution for Missing Teeth at Modbury Dental Practice

Looking for a permanent way to replace missing teeth? Dental implants at Modbury Dental Practice are the solution. They restore your smile’s function and natural beauty. Reliable and long-lasting, implants give you peace of mind and renewed confidence.

What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are titanium roots surgically placed into your jawbone. They replace missing teeth by acting as strong, stable anchors. Whether you need crowns, bridges, or implant-retained dentures, each is crafted to match your natural teeth perfectly. This ensures a comfortable fit and a natural-looking smile. Beyond aesthetics, implants prevent bone loss and maintain your jaw’s structure for better oral health.

Benefits of Dental Implants

Natural Look and Feel

Implants look and function like real teeth. You can eat your favourite foods, speak clearly, and smile confidently.

Built to Last

With proper care, implants last a lifetime. Unlike dentures or bridges, they rarely need adjustments or replacements.

Boosts Oral Health

Implants stand alone and don’t affect nearby healthy teeth. This preserves your natural teeth and promotes long-term oral wellness.

Stops Bone Loss

Implants stimulate the jawbone. This prevents deterioration and keeps your facial structure strong, avoiding a sunken appearance.

The Procedure

Consultation

We start with a thorough oral assessment. We review your medical and dental history and take OPG or CBCT scans. This helps us tailor your treatment plan.

Treatment Planning

Based on your consultation, we create a plan just for you. We discuss the best type of implant and the steps involved.

Surgical Placement

We place the implant under local anaesthesia to minimize discomfort. The implant fuses with your jawbone, creating a stable foundation.

Restoration

After healing, we attach a custom crown, bridge, or denture. This completes your smile and restores full function.

Advanced Treatments for Complex Cases

We offer a full range of advanced implant treatments. Some cases need bone grafting or sinus augmentation. We handle these procedures in-house, so you don’t need outside referrals. Using the latest CBCT technology, we plan and perform even complex cases precisely to ensure the best results.

Dental Implants Referral Service

We proudly offer an Advanced Dentistry Referral Service. Whether you’re a dental colleague or a patient, we accept referrals for complex cases. Our expert team uses cutting-edge technology to deliver top care. We aim to see referred patients within 7 days, ensuring prompt treatment.
