Dental Implants

There is so much that goes on behind the scenes.

First let’s take a look at this picture – can you tell which tooth is the dental implant?

Looks good right?
Now let’s take a look underneath – the bit you never see.

This is a beautifully and expertly made crown that fits on a dental implant very precisely. Now if you take an even closer look you will see this:

This is the mark of this part of the crown (which fits into the dental implant itself) being a genuine Straumann component.

Other than the massive amount of preparation and planning that I do for every single implant case once the patient has left the clinic (which I will tell you about in a future post), the components and materials used like those above makes a big difference in the final result. Not all implants and components are created equal. Even if a reputable implant brand is used, using genuine components in the tooth crown production is equally important. Genuine components are those manufactured or recommended by the original implant maker. These components fit perfectly with the implant system, reducing the risk of complications. Non-genuine, often cheaper, alternatives may not match the exact specifications of the implant system, leading to poor fit and function.

The use of high-quality materials and genuine components in dental implants cannot be overstated. That’s why we always use the highest quality laboratories based in the UK along with genuine components, which naturally comes at a higher cost, but why compromise?

If you are thinking about dental implants, I’d love to hear from you to see how I can help.

Our journey in dentistry has always been driven by a passion not just for improving oral health, but for transforming lives through innovative care and a personal touch.

Why dental implants? For many, the journey towards a confident smile or being able to enjoy your favourite foods again, seems full of uncertainty. Dental implants offer a fixed, durable, functional, and aesthetically pleasing replacement option for missing teeth.

But what sets them apart? Let me share a story of transformation that remains close to my heart. This lovely patient came to us with lowered self-esteem, hiding his smile due to missing teeth. He was struggling with traditional dentures, which were loose and uncomfortable. He had tried everything. The choice was clear: dental implants were not just a treatment but a pathway to restoring his confidence. The process began with a thorough consultation, understanding the main issues, and crafting a tailored treatment plan. By using our state-of-the-art imaging technology, the latest digital techniques, the best equipment and materials, and all based on a solid evidence-based foundation and understanding of what is required for a healthy implant, we were able to achieve a predictable, beautiful and natural looking result. And he was able to keep most of his own natural teeth, only replacing what was missing. All whilst our compassionate team supported him at every step. The transformation helped him get the confidence to smile again.

What sets us apart? Our approach to oral surgery and dental implants is rooted in personalization. We believe each patient’s needs are unique, and so should be their treatment plans. As specialist oral surgeons, we have the expertise to ensure the best outcomes, focusing on safety, comfort, and effectiveness.

Your smile is a powerful part of who you are. It’s a source of joy, confidence, and health. Whether you’re ready to book a consultation or are just considering dental implants and needed more advice, we’re here to help you.
