What are dental implants and how do they work?
Dental implants are essentially artificial tooth roots, typically made of titanium, that are surgically placed into your jawbone. They work by a process called osseointegration, where the jawbone naturally fuses with the implant over several months, creating a strong and stable foundation. Once integrated, a connector (abutment) is attached to the implant, and a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture is then securely fitted on top, providing a durable and natural-looking replacement for missing teeth.
- Secure – dental implants stay firmly in place and will not slip when you are eating or speaking or become loose over time. As they are held in place by your bone, you can be confident of their strength and durability.
- Aesthetic – Designed to perfectly mimic natural teeth, implants offer a seamless blend with your existing smile. You’ll enjoy the freedom to eat, drink, and converse just as you did previously, all while confidently displaying a beautiful, natural-looking smile.
- Effective – As a well-researched, safe, and remarkably effective treatment, dental implants provide an excellent solution for replacing one or multiple missing teeth in any area of your mouth.
- Supportive – Implants play a crucial role in maintaining your natural facial structure and providing support for your remaining teeth. They also help protect gum tissue and can be placed without any adverse impact on your healthy, existing dentition.
- Innovative – implants use cutting-edge digital dental technology combined with our specialist expertise to create the next best thing to a natural tooth.

The dental implant procedure: What to expect?
- Step 1 – initial consultation & planning: We carry out a full assessment of your general health, how your teeth fit together, your oral health, and the density of your jawbone. If we discover you have insufficient bone volume, you may need a bone grafting procedure to allow for the successful placement of implants.
- Step 2 – Fitting: The titanium screws and posts are placed in the bone under a local anaesthetic using a relatively simple surgical procedure.
- Step 3 – Osseointegration: Titanium is very well tolerated by the body, so over a few months, the implants will bond with the bone – a process known as osseointegration.
- Step 4 – Smile with confidence!: Once settled in and fully healed, we can fit replacement teeth to the now firmly positioned implants. We will give you some advice on how to look after your dental implant and leave you to start showing off your smile!
Missing teeth? Discover your options for a complete smile
Single implant: The gold standard for a missing tooth
A single missing tooth can be flawlessly restored with a dental implant and custom crown. This solution offers superior strength, security, and durability, perfectly replicating your natural tooth’s appearance and chewing power. Unlike less effective alternatives like dentures or bridges, a single implant protects surrounding healthy teeth, prevents unwanted tooth movement, and even strengthens your jawbone.
Multiple implants: Bridging the gaps with confidence
For several missing teeth, implants offer versatile solutions. While individual implants are an option, often, fewer strategically placed implants can support a bridge, effectively replacing multiple adjacent teeth. This approach is particularly beneficial when jawbone density varies, providing a robust and efficient way to restore your smile.
Full arch implants: Reclaim your smile and comfort
Say goodbye to uncomfortable traditional dentures. For a full arch of missing teeth, dental implants offer a superior, long-term solution that also preserves your jawbone. Choose between two life-changing options:
Fixed full arch bridge: Supported by four to six precisely placed implants, this option provides a permanent, natural-feeling set of new teeth, allowing you to eat, drink, and speak with complete confidence.
Implant-supported dentures: For enhanced stability, dentures can be securely anchored by dental implants. This eliminates movement and slippage, restoring your confidence and a complete, beautiful smile.

Frequently asked questions
- What are dental implants and how do they work?
- Dental implants offer a strong, secure, and natural-looking solution for missing teeth. Implants are titanium posts that are surgically placed in the jawbone to act just like tooth roots. As titanium is a durable metal that is very well tolerated by the body, these cylindrical posts eventually fuse with the bone, providing a firm foundation for a crown or bridge.
- Am I a suitable candidate for dental implants in Abingdon?
- Most people are suitable candidates for dental implants, provided they are generally healthy and able to undergo a routine dental procedure, such as an extraction. It’s beneficial if you have good oral hygiene, healthy gums, and enough bone in your jaw to attach the implant. If you don’t have enough bone density, this can often be rectified with a bone graft. Dental implants are not usually offered to younger patients whose jaws are still growing. It also helps if the patient is not a heavy smoker, this is because smoking can slow down the healing process. We will thoroughly discuss your overall suitability for implant treatment at your initial consultation.
- How long do dental implants last?
- Dental implants have the potential to last a lifetime if they are properly looked after. This includes maintaining an excellent brushing and flossing routine, looking after your general health, and attending regular check-up appointments with your dentist. The crown or bridge that the implant supports may need to be replaced over time due to normal wear and tear.
- How much do dental implants cost in Abingdon?
- We offer a comprehensive dental implant consultation for £97. We can see what treatment is required and give you a full breakdown of your treatment and the costs involved. You can ask any questions you may have, and we can discuss potential finance options too.
- What are the benefits of replacing missing teeth with implants?
- Dental implants offer a comprehensive solution for missing teeth, allowing individuals to regain the ability to eat a full range of foods with confidence, just as they would with their natural teeth. Designed for comfort and aesthetic appeal, implants seamlessly blend with existing dentition, mimicking the look, feel, and function of real teeth.
- Furthermore, the replacement of missing teeth with implants contributes to the long-term health of the remaining natural teeth by distributing chewing forces more evenly and reducing undue pressure on them. This helps preserve the integrity and longevity of your overall dentition.
- Is the dental implant procedure painful?
- We use local anaesthetic during dental implant surgery to ensure you are comfortable during the procedure. You won’t be able to feel a thing. After treatment, it is normal to experience some discomfort, and this can be managed with pain relief advised by your dentist.
