Replace Missing Teeth with Lasting Support
A Natural-Looking Smile Starts with the Right Treatment
Missing teeth can change how you eat, speak and feel about your smile. Dental implants offer a secure foundation for replacement teeth, whether you have one gap or need more extensive treatment. At Ardent Sidcup, we assess your mouth and explain your options clearly. Your treatment plan considers your oral health, comfort and the results you hope to achieve.
What are Dental Implants ?
An implant is a small post, usually made from titanium, that replaces a missing tooth root. Your dentist places it into the jawbone, where bone gradually bonds with its surface through osseointegration. A connector called an abutment then supports a crown, bridge or denture, depending on the teeth you need to replace.
An implant-supported crown replaces one tooth, while bridges can fill larger gaps. For extensive tooth loss, implants may support a full arch of fixed teeth or stabilise a removable denture. Your dentist explains which approach suits your mouth, alongside alternatives such as conventional bridges and dentures.

Benefits of Implant-Supported Teeth
Natural Look and Feel
Your replacement teeth are shaped and shaded to complement your smile. Careful planning helps create a comfortable fit and natural-looking appearance.
Improved Oral Function
Securely supported teeth can make chewing easier and improve confidence when speaking. Your dentist explains food choices during healing and after treatment.
Durability and Longevity
Implants can provide many years of service with appropriate care. However, replacement teeth and their components may eventually need maintenance or renewal.
Supports Jawbone Health
Implants transfer chewing forces into the bone around them. This can help preserve local jawbone, although gum inflammation can still cause bone loss.

The Dental Implant Procedure
Your treatment usually involves several stages over a number of months. The exact sequence depends on your remaining teeth, available bone and chosen restoration.
1. Treatment Planning
- Your dentist examines your teeth, gums and bite, then reviews your medical history. X-rays or a CBCT scan may help assess suitable implant positions.
- Together, you discuss treatment options, likely timescales, costs and any preparation needed before surgery.
2. Titanium Implant Placement
- Your dentist numbs the area with local anaesthetic before placing the implant into your jawbone. They explain what to expect throughout the appointment.
- If bone is insufficient, bone grafting may be necessary before or alongside placement, depending on the amount required.
3. Healing Period
- Bone gradually bonds with the implant, often over three to six months. Your dentist checks healing before deciding when the final restoration can be fitted.
- A temporary tooth replacement may be possible during this period. Its design depends on your treatment and the need to protect healing tissues.
4. Final Restoration
Once the implant is ready, your dentist fits the planned crown, bridge or denture. They check its appearance, bite and comfort, then explain how to clean around it.
Regular reviews help monitor your restoration and the supporting tissues. Your replacement teeth need ongoing care, just like the rest of your mouth.
Who Can Have Implant Treatment?
Many adults can consider implants, although suitability requires an individual assessment. Your dentist checks these factors before recommending a treatment plan for your missing teeth.
Have Missing Teeth
Implants can replace one tooth, several teeth or a full arch. Your dentist also considers whether any remaining damaged teeth can be saved.
Have Sufficient Jawbone
Your jaw needs adequate bone in the planned implant positions. Where bone has reduced, grafting or an alternative treatment approach may be appropriate.
Have Suitable General Health
Your dentist reviews your health, medicines and smoking habits. Some conditions affect healing, but a medical diagnosis doesn’t automatically rule out implant treatment.
Have Healthy Gums
Active gum disease needs treatment before implant placement proceeds. Good daily cleaning and regular professional care help protect the tissues supporting your replacement teeth.

FAQ
Find clear answers about dental implant pain, recovery, lifespan, suitability and risks to help you understand your treatment options.
1. Are dental implants painful?
Local anaesthetic should prevent sharp pain during implant placement. You may feel pressure, followed by soreness or swelling afterwards. Our implant pain guide explains what to expect, while your dentist provides individual pain relief advice.
2. How Long Do Implants Last?
Implants can last many years when you maintain them carefully. However, crowns, bridges and other components may need repairs or replacement. Smoking, gum disease and tooth grinding can affect how well your treatment lasts.
3. What Is the Recovery Time After Implant Surgery?
Initial gum healing often takes around one to two weeks. Bone bonding takes longer, commonly several months before the final restoration. Follow your implant aftercare instructions, as recovery varies with the procedure and your health.
4. Can I Have Implants If I Have Bone Loss?
Bone loss doesn’t always prevent you from having implant treatment. Your dentist assesses how much bone remains and where support is needed. A graft may help, although some patients need a different replacement option.
5. What Are the Risks of Implant Treatment?
Possible complications include infection, nerve injury or failure to bond with bone. Later problems can involve gum inflammation or loose restoration components. Your dentist explains individual risks; our implant FAQs provide further general treatment information.
