Dental Implants
A dental implant is a titanium metal rod which is placed into the jawbone. It is used to replace a missing single tooth, several teeth, a full arch bridge, or even support a loose denture.
The benefits of dental implants are both functional and cosmetic. Unsightly gaps can be closed without adjacent teeth being affected and without the need for a denture. If you have several chewing teeth missing, dental implants will help reduce the pressure on your remaining teeth, improve your chewing ability and prolong the life of your natural teeth.
New implant technologies have been embraced at Queensway, allowing us to carry out advanced 3D scanning of jaws and use computer aided planning procedures. This minimises surgery time and reduces post-operative pain. Thanks to the development of same-day replacement treatment we can even offer immediate replacement of a failing tooth.
We've been helping patients with dental implants for over ten years, making sure we provide a high quality service that really improves a smile.
"Following a thorough assessment with Dr Lane, I received a written treatment plan explaining the options for my implant care and the alternatives to replace my broken upper front tooth. The surgery was carried out a couple of weeks later and there was no pain during the procedure. A temporary crown was placed after a couple of months to allow the gum to heal in a natural way and the final all-ceramic crown was placed 7 months after the implant surgery. I also opted for some tooth whitening to brighten my smile and give a natural cosmetic improvement."

NHS and private treatment
Whilst routine NHS patients at Queensway may be able to access some initial pre-implant stabilisation treatment such as an extraction or temporary dentures, most complex implant and reconstructive dental care is not possible on the NHS and must be paid for privately, Please note that as implant and reconstructive dental care is a highly complex treatment, it is not possible on the NHS and must be paid for privately.
To make treatment more affordable, we offer 0% finance plans and low-costs loans. This can be discussed at your consultation.
Having dental implants is sometimes illustrated as a scary procedure, but in my experience Dr Averley and his team made me feel at ease throughout the treatment. I am now much more confident about showing my teeth, especially when I smile or laugh, and most certainly would recommend this treatment to others.
