Dental Treatment – Dental Implants

A dental implant is a titanium screw which allows for a long-term solution for replacing missing teeth. They are placed directly into your jawbone, where they provide an artificial replacement for the root of your missing tooth or teeth. After it is fitted, the bone surrounding your implant will gradually fuse to it, holding the implant firmly in place. A false tooth is then fitted to the top of the implant giving a natural look to your smile and giving the feel and function of natural teeth.

Implants at our practice are carried out by Ben Molyneux who has a wealth of experience in placement as well as a Diploma in Implant Dentistry and Advanced Surgical Certificate from The Royal College of Surgeons Of England.

Before implant placement you will have a consultation with Ben to discuss your suitability for treatment which may include diagnostic x-rays and scans. He will also be able to explain the process with you and to answer any questions you may have.
