Dental Implants

Tooth loss is a problem that affects many thousands of people every year and may occur as a result of tooth decay, gum disease or trauma.

A dental implant is a titanium post that functions as an artificial root for your tooth, it is surgically placed into your jawbone with which it fuses (integrates) over time to provide a solid support for a single crown, a bridge or a denture.

Dental implants provide a solution to missing teeth, which do not require preparation and damage to neighbouring healthy tooth tissue (unlike traditional bridges).

What to expect when having Dental Implants

Step 1 - Free Dental Implant Consultation

A free smile consultation, with Rob Muirhead, for a preliminary discussion about implants and if required take x-rays.

Step 2 - Our Oral Surgeon Reviews Your Xrays

Rob will send details of your case and x-rays to Abs, our Consultant Oral Surgeon and Implantologist, for his opinion on whether an implant is appropriate for you, he generally requires a 3D scan to be taken prior to a consultation with him.

Step 3 - Pre Dental Implant Treatment Assessment

Then you would have a consultation here with Abs where he will carry out a full consultation, examine your mouth, x-rays and scan, then discuss the particulars of your case.

Step 4 - Your Dental Implant Treatment Begins

Implant treatment is generally carried out over a few visits. Sometimes crowns can be placed straight on top of the implant in the same appointment; however, normally it is wise to leave the implant fixture in place for at least 3 months to make sure it properly integrates with the bone. After this your final restoration will be placed, whether that is a crown, bridge or implant retained denture.

As well as my teeth looking so much better without the big space between my top and bottom teeth, the work that you have done has also stopped my neck pains and headaches.

Virginia, Bradford

The teeth in my lower jaw were crowned in 2003. It took a day in the surgery, no pain, and it was affordable! Three years on, and I’m delighted with the work. Thank you Rob, for giving me back my smil

Beryl, Shipley

If you are in a position to choose private dental treatment then I would have no reservation in recommending Rob. My teeth look 20 years younger, what is that worth?

Chris, Baildon

As a fellow dentist, it is always interesting/daunting being on the receiving end of treatment. My experience with Rob and his team was exceptional and made me proud to be part of the profession.
