All-On-4 and dental implants - permanent smile solutions, made in-house
Missing teeth can affect your confidence, your bite and your everyday comfort. Dental implants are a permanent, natural-looking way to replace them, and we care for patients from Newcastle, Middlesbrough, Sunderland and across the North East.
At Queensway, our team brings over 80 years of combined experience in placing dental implants. We’ve trained with global leaders in implantology to ensure our patients receive the highest standard of care and the most predictable outcomes.
We also work closely with Queensway Dental Laboratory, our on-site facility in Billingham, to give you a smooth, personalised journey where you’re involved every step of the way.
Dental implants are used to permanently replace damaged or missing teeth. A small metal screw is surgically placed into the jawbone to act like an artificial tooth root, and the restoration (either a crown or a bridge) is placed on top. At Queensway we have a range of dental implant solutions made right here in our dental laboratory for a precise and natural fit.
Choosing dental implants is a big, and often life-changing, decision. Whether you’re missing a single tooth or several, dental implants could be the long-term solution you’ve been looking for. Your suitability will be assessed during a clinical consultation with one of our experienced implant dentists.
We offer dental implant assessments across our North East clinics, serving patients from Middlesbrough, Newcastle, Sunderland and beyond. Healthy gums are the foundation of a successful implant, so if you have gum disease our specialist periodontics team will stabilise it first.
This involves placing a single dental implant in the mouth before a healing period of between six weeks to six months before the final restoration is fitted. During this period you will have a temporary tooth to fill the gap. In some cases the healing period is not needed, but this will be advised by your dentist.
An implant-supported bridge is similar to a regular dental bridge, but is supported by implants and not by natural teeth. In most cases, when an implant-supported bridge is used, two dental implants can support a connected crown. We have the technology and expertise to digitally plan the implant location and angulation before placement to achieve the best possible end result.
Mini-dental implants have the same structure as regular implants, but are slightly smaller in form and therefore a less invasive procedure. The components of mini-implants have two parts, a titanium post with a ball on the end and a socket with a rubber O-ring that attaches the tooth to the post. What’s more, if you currently wear a denture, we might be able to work with this to further save on costs.
This involves placing several dental implants across the jaw and then fixing a temporary bridge on the same day, which is left to integrate into the jaw for 3-6 months before a final bridge is constructed. This is not suitable for everyone, but offers a solution for people with no or very few natural teeth remaining.
All-on-4® treatment is a long-lasting solution for replacing loose, damaged, missing or failing teeth with a full set of dental implants in a single day. Many patients arrive in the morning and leave in the afternoon with a brand new smile and their confidence restored.
You might also hear All-on-4® treatment referred to as same-day smile, teeth in a day and full mouth dental implants.
The technique uses four or six dental implants to replace a whole arch of missing teeth, fitted with a temporary bridge all in the same day. After a healing period of 3-6 months, a final bridge is then fitted. Different material options are available, and we will discuss the pros and cons of each at the clinical assessment so you can make an informed decision about what would be best for you. For complex cases, or where existing implants or restorations are failing, our specialist prosthodontics service in Sunderland can plan and coordinate your full-mouth rehabilitation.
Dental implants are a trusted, long-term solution for replacing missing teeth, and with good reason. Whether you’re replacing one tooth or several, they offer a wide range of benefits:
