Dental Implants
Dental care to make you smile
Start your journey today
We understand a missing tooth or a gap in your smile can have a big impact on your confidence, appearance and ability to eat. Unlike traditional dentures and bridges, dental implants can offer a permanent and comfortable solution.
Dental implants can be used to replace single or multiple teeth. They will improve both the function and aesthetics of your dentition.
A titanium screw is used to replace the root of the tooth and a porcelain crown is attached on top to replicate a natural tooth.
Our dentists will undertake a full examination to ensure dental implants are the right choice for you.
We are extremely proud to offer dental implants with our wonderful clinicians Julian and Shyam!
Our clinicians use the premium Neodent Dental Implant System. This quality system is part of the swiss brand Straumann group and is highly predictable and efficient.
Dental implants can be used to replace a single tooth or multiple teeth. You may be missing a tooth due to lack of development or you may have had a tooth extracted due to decay or infection. Implants will improve the function of your bite. They may also improve the aesthetics of your smile if the missing tooth is close to the front of your mouth, giving you the confidence to smile again! They are an alternative option to a gap, bridge or denture.
Of course! We would love to be part of your dental journey. You can either self refer to us or you can ask your dentist to send us an email. They may wish to share your clinical notes and x-rays to help with your bespoke plan.
This will depend on which tooth is missing and how your teeth bite together. Typically, we will advise replacement of a missing tooth to prevent future problems. Often remaining teeth can drift into the gap or food can be trapped. Missing teeth can also affect your speech and function (the way you chew and eat). Ask our advice today!
Firstly, our experienced surgeons will provide a full assessment to ensure an implant is the best choice for you. We may then require a small / large X-ray or possibly a CT scan to assess the surrounding bone. The process is usually carried out over two or more appointments. It may take a few months for the implant to fully heal and if required we can place a temporary crown for you. Your bespoke porcelain crown will then be attached to the underlying implant and an aftercare package will be discussed so you will have the confidence to care for your implant.
You will need to care for your implants just as your would care for natural teeth. This involves brushing for 2 minutes twice daily using a fluoride toothpaste plus cleaning interdentally. Our hygiene team will ensure you have the correct technique to clean properly around each implant using mini brushes and flossers. You should also visit us regularly for your examination and hygiene appointments so we can re-assess your implants.

Bridges
Dental bridges use the adjacent teeth as an anchor to support a missing tooth. Bridges can be the ideal option to restore function and improve aesthetics when you have a gap. Your dentist will discuss all the options so you can make the best choice for your mouth. Dental care to make you smile!
All-On-4 Dental implants
Complex treatment, such as All-On-4 or All-On-6 implants, requires precise planning so each individual plan will be tailored just for you. Due to the nature of this treatment, a full assessment must be undertaken before an accurate cost can be given. Average prices are around £12,500 but will vary depending on the complexity. For more information please contact us or email Gemma to book your consultation today! Gemma can be reached at gemma@alderleyedgedental.co.uk or feel free to call her on 07551936840.

Dentures
Traditionally, dentures are made of plastic or have a metal base and sit over the gums too replace missing teeth. They are generally removable and can be made as a partial or full set. If you are hoping for a fixed option please consider bridges, dental implants or all-on-4 implants as an option. Missing teeth can affect your confidence, speech and function (the way you chew and eat) so dentures may be the perfect option for you. Ask our advice and improve your smile today!
