Replacing Missing Teeth with Stability

When a tooth is lost, it can affect both function and the stability of surrounding teeth. Dental implants are used to replace missing teeth, restoring function while supporting long-term oral health.

Dental implants provide a fixed solution to replace missing teeth, designed to integrate with the jawbone and support long-term function. Where appropriate, they offer an alternative to removable options or bridges.

What is a dental implant?

 

A dental implant is a small titanium fixture placed in the jawbone to replace the root of a missing tooth.

Once integrated, it supports a crown, allowing the tooth to be restored in both function and appearance

When are implants considered?

Implants may be recommended when:

  • A tooth is missing or needs to be removed

  • Adjacent teeth are healthy and you wish to avoid preparing them for a bridge

  • A fixed replacement is preferred over removable options

  • Long-term stability is a priority

Each case is assessed individually to determine suitability.

Our Approach

Implant treatment begins with careful planning.

We consider:

  • Bone volume and quality

  • Position of adjacent teeth

  • Bite and functional load

  • Long-term maintainability

In some cases, preparatory treatment (such as orthodontics or bone-related procedures) may be recommended to optimise the final outcome.

Precision Guided by Digital 3D Planning

Implant placement is planned using 3D imaging (CBCT scans) to assess bone structure and anatomical considerations.

This allows for:

  • More accurate assessment of available bone

  • Safer positioning relative to surrounding structures

  • Better planning of the final tooth position

In more complex cases, a custom surgical guide may be used to translate the plan precisely during placement.

The aim is to position the implant not just where bone is available, but where the final restoration is intended to be.

A Proven Implant System

We use the Camlog implant system, developed in Germany and supported by a long clinical track record.

Rather than using multiple systems, we focus on one that is well-established and reliable.

It is widely used internationally, with documented long-term performance.

 

This allows for:

  • Predictable integration with bone

  • Reliable restorative components

  • Consistency in achieving good clinical outcomes

 

System selection is based on clinical reliability and how well it integrates into the overall treatment plan.

How the Implants Fit into Overall Treatment

Implants are considered when a tooth cannot be preserved.

Where possible, retaining a natural tooth remains the priority. When replacement is required, implant treatment is planned in a way that integrates with the surrounding teeth and overall bite.

 

In some situations, tooth position or spacing may influence implant placement, and adjunctive treatment may be considered.

What to Expect

Dental implant treatment is carried out in carefully planned stages to ensure a strong, stable, and natural-looking result. We’ll guide you through each step so you feel informed and comfortable throughout the process.

1. Assessment & Planning

Clinical evaluation and 3D imaging to assess suitability.

2. Implant Placement

The implant is placed in the jawbone under controlled conditions.

3. Healing Phase

Time is allowed for integration with the bone.

4 Restoration

A crown is placed to restore function and appearance.

5. Review & Maintenance

Regular follow-up to monitor stability over time.
