Missing teeth can be very unattractive and can also affect the functionality of your mouth. If you have lost one or more teeth then dental implants are an effective, long-lasting way to replace them.
At Horsley Dental we provide expert implant dentistry at affordable prices to restore the appearance of your smile and improve the day-to-day performance of your mouth.
A dental implant is a titanium screw that is fitted to the jaw bone below the gum line. It replaces the root section of a missing tooth and is perfectly designed to hold a new crown (the visible top section of the tooth) via an abutment that securely connects the two together.
The result is looks very natural and the fact that the implants are fitted directly to the jaw gives them great stability. They can be used to replace an individual tooth or multiple teeth (with the use of an implant supported bridge).
At the initial consultation appointment your dentist will assess if dental implants are appropriate for you. The procedure will be fully explained and you will have the opportunity to discuss the results you would like to achieve and ask any questions you may have. X-rays will then be taken and a treatment plan created.
The treatment itself may require a few appointments as, once the implant has been fitted to the jaw, it will take time to fuse to the bone. Once the area around the implant has successfully healed the abutment and new crown can be fitted.
If you think that dental implants might be for you, please call our reception on 01483 281 414 to arrange a consultation.

Dental implants look and feel like natural teeth, making them the most popular long-term solution for replacing missing teeth. Because the implant replaces the tooth root, it helps protect the jawbone and prevents bone loss. Implants are also stable and secure, so you can eat, speak and smile with confidence, without worrying about movement. They are designed to be a long-lasting option when cared for properly.
Most adults with healthy gums and enough jawbone to support an implant can be suitable for dental implants. Your general health and lifestyle, such as smoking, can also affect suitability. Even if bone levels are low, additional treatments may sometimes make implants possible. A full assessment with your dentist is the best way to confirm whether implants are right for you.
Once healed, dental implants usually feel just like natural teeth and are very stable when eating and speaking. Caring for them is simple, brush and floss daily as you would your own teeth and attend regular dental check-ups. Good oral hygiene is key to keeping implants healthy and long-lasting. We will show you the best way to look after your implant at home.
Unfortunately, not everyone is suitable for dental implants straight away. Healthy gums, enough jawbone, and good overall oral health are important for success. Certain medical conditions and lifestyle factors, such as heavy smoking, can also affect suitability. In some cases, additional treatments may make implants possible. A full consultation with a dentist is the best way to find out what options are right for you.
