Dental Implants
Specialists in New Teeth Implants
Dental implants are a great way to enhance your smile.
Providing one of the closest replacement options to complement your natural healthy teeth, dental implants are now more accessible than ever before and are inserted directly into your jawbone using titanium screws to mimic your natural tooth.
Whether you have lost a tooth or the movement of your existing teeth are limited, this is a fantastic way to restore bite force, prevent changes in the shape of your face, optimise comfort and improve their appearance.
How Do Dental Implants Work?
Once it has been established by your dental practitioner that dental implants are the best solution for you and that you are happy to proceed with the treatment, your dentist will talk you through each stage of the procedure.
The procedure involves your dentist firstly removing the damaged tooth, and then cutting into your gum in order to drill a small hole into the jawbone. Trust us, it isn’t as gruesome as it sounds, and your mouth will be numb throughout the procedure. Once the hole has been created, the implant is then inserted and your gum is closed with stitches. For some patients, stitches are not required.

Stages of Dental Implant Treatment
Tooth removal
All dental implant treatments begin by removing your existing tooth so that there is space for the implant to be inserted. If you are fit, well and healthy, and there’s no other reason which could compromise the success of the treatment, your dentist will insert the implant straight after extraction.
Placing the dental implant
Your dental practitioner will then place the dental implant into your gum using a titanium screw. The gum is then stitched to prevent bacteria from causing issues.
Healing time
You can expect to wait anywhere between 3 and 6 months for the abutment to fully bond with the jawline. Once your specialist is happy that the gum has settled around the gum, they will then consider moving onto the next stage. During the healing time, most professionals will provide you with a temporary denture.
Fitting the implant
Once the gum has healed, your new porcelain implant crown can then be fitted. This is made to enhance your natural teeth.

At Boutique Dental 23 we have a team of professional dental implants specialists ready and waiting to help.
Single Tooth Implant
A dental implant works by embedding a titanium device (like a small metal post or plug) where your root would previously have sat below the gum line. From here, an artificial tooth can be attached/added/fixed, which I ensure looks the same as your surrounding natural teeth.
Dental implants are ideal for replacing a single missing tooth because unlike a dental bridge, dentists do not need to damage the neighbouring teeth to anchor the restoration.
Multiple Teeth Implants
Dental implants can also be used to replace multiple missing teeth or even full arches top / bottom teeth. This can be achieved by fitting a number of single implants or creating a dental bridge, featuring a number of teeth and fixing this to two or more implants. As with implants for a single missing tooth, implants for multiple missing teeth look natural and will fully restore your bite, function and the aesthetics of your smile.
