Dental implants can be a bit intimidating, especially when it comes to comfort and pain. Rest assured that the process of getting dental implants is actually quite comfortable and painless.
What to expect at your initial consultation
Dental implants are used to replace a missing tooth or teeth. They are small metal screws (usually made of titanium, a titanium alloy or a ceramic like zirconia) that are placed into the jawbone to act like artificial tooth roots. Over time, they fuse to the jawbone and a restoration (false, yet natural-looking tooth) is fitted on top. Dental implants can be used to replace a single tooth or many teeth.
Both my hygienist and dental checkup appointments were carried out by very friendly professionals to an extremely high standard. Very pleased with Dental Health Care.

More stars are required to properly praise the team at Dental Health Care. I came in with an extremely complicated situation requiring an extraction, bone graft, implant, and crown. I was provided with a very clear explanation of what my options were and what the treatment process would entail in a way that made sense while providing peace of mind. The team at DHC cares, and it shows. Highly recommended.

I had a full teeth examination and X-rays at Dental Health Care with Dr Davda, I felt really looked after. He was friendly and professional and all the other staff members were lovely too. The clinic was also very well maintained and it's in a lovely historic building. A short drive up from North London, I'll be sure to be back. Thanks guys!

Always have such a positive experience with Dental Health Care, especially as someone who hates going to the dentist I am always put at ease when I walk through the door.
The dentists here really do have your best interests in mind and well worth the price.

What Our Patients Say

Single tooth implants can be used in people who are missing one or more teeth. An implant is surgically placed in an opening that is made by the dentist in your jawbone. After the implant integrates (attaches) to your bone, it acts as a new ‘root’ for the crown that will be replacing the missing tooth. For this procedure to work, there must be enough bone in the jaw, and the bone has to be strong enough to hold and support the implant. If there is not enough bone, it may need to be added with a procedure called ‘bone augmentation’, which is a quick and easy procedure. In addition, natural teeth and supporting tissues near where the implant will be placed must be in good health.
What does the procedure involve?
The traditional method for placing an implant would involve 4 surgery visits. During the first visit, an incision is made in the gum where the implant will be placed. A hole is then drilled into the bone, the implant is then placed into this hole, and then the incision is stitched closed. At the end of the healing period, which can take 3 months, a second visit will take place. At this visit a new incision will be made to expose the implant and a healing abutment is then screwed onto the top of the implant, we will then wait a week before taking an impression which will aid us in creating your new implant crown. Once the crown has been made, the last visit will involve fixing this crown to the implant.
An implant bridge is indicated for when people have lost multiple teeth next to each other. The big advantage of an implant bridge over a normal bridge is that there is no need to drill into perfectly healthy teeth on either side of the gap. Allot of people choose to get rid of partial dentures in favour of having implant bridges done.
This is for people that have lost all of their top or bottom set of teeth, or that their remaining teeth are in such a poor state that it would be worthwhile taking the remaining teeth out so that we can replace all their teeth with a large implant bridge called an All-on-4.
Missing all your teeth can have a devastating impact on your quality of life. It often makes people appear older than they actually feel. Conventional solutions include adjusting the denture base to the gum tissue with either a dental adhesive or by holding it in place with a seal along the border of the denture. The success of conventional solutions depends largely on the amount of residual bone and soft tissue. The loose attachment of the tooth replacement can also reduce chewing capacity, which can lead to an unbalanced diet and poor digestion – crunch vegetables and fruits, for example; are almost impossible to eat. Bone loss may also progress, and the functionality of diminish. When the palate is covered by an upper denture, a reduction in sense of taste can also be expected. By contrast, prosthetics supported by implants, function and look like natural teeth. Patients say that the bigger advantage of implant-supported dental prosthetics is a restored self-esteem. For them, it is possible to eat, talk and laugh again in an unhibited way. Another benefit is the absence of the unpleasant aspects of convention dental prosthetics, including improper fit and messy adhesives. People with securely fitting tooth replacements feel better, look better and enjoy a higher quality of life.
Your denture is fabricated as a normal denture. Four or more implants are placed into your jawbone in this one visit. The procedure requires only a few drops of local anaesthesia. Each implant is placed quickly and easily. Your denture is then retro-fitted to click onto the mini implant retention heads. The mini implant system requires no extensive surgery, and with some care is ready for immediate use. Laugh, smile and speak with confidence and comfort.
