Dental Implants

Our visiting Oral & Maxillofacial Surgeon, Andy Burns BDS FFD MBBS FRCS, uses the Ankylos system to place dental implants in order to replace missing teeth.

Dental implants are extremely strong and are the best option if you have gaps in your mouth where teeth have been removed, and can last as long as 30 years!

Once the implant has been placed, a period of 3 months is required to allow healing to occur. Then a crown is placed into the implant by one of our dental surgeons.

 Before treatment - this lady had been unhappy with the space in the corner of her mouth for years 

After treatment - the space was restored with a single dental implant supporting a porcelain crown. Other cosmetic treatment was undertaken during the same course of treatment. There are alternative views of this case in our Cosmetic Dentistry section. 

Before treatment - this lady had been unhappy with her front teeth for years. The front 4 teeth had been so badly affected by gum disease that they needed removing.

After treatment - once the front 4 teeth had been removed, 2 dental implants were placed, supporting a porcelain bridge, and the rest of the teeth in the upper arch were restored with crowns to give them back their natural appearance and function. This lady was absolutely delighted with the result which dramatically improved her self-confidence, and she is no longer camera-shy.
