At BM WITHERS dental we can provide dental implant to replace missing teeth or help stabilise dentures.
Dental implants are the modern solution for replacing missing teeth. Firmly fixed and integrated into healthy gum and bone, they give a completely natural look, feel and function, just like your own teeth, so you can speak, eat and smile with complete confidence.

Until recent years, the only option for missing teeth was dentures or a bridge. The problem with a bridge is that the neighbouring healthy teeth must be filed, and dentures can feel loose and cause pain. Implants, on the other hand don't affect adjacent teeth and are firmly fixed and integrated into your body's own tissues, just like the teeth they are replacing.
Once a tooth is lost, the bone around it begins to disappear. So the earlier an implant is placed the better, as more bone is available to insert the implant, which is crucial in achieving the best possible outcome.
Dental implants have a very high success rate and like your natural teeth they'll last as long as they are well looked after and kept clean.
Placing an implant involves a small operation which in many cases be done under a local anaesthetic. After placement the discomfort is minor and in most cases over-the-counter painkillers are all you'll need. If you are a nervous patient we can also arrange for sedation (otherwise know as twilight sleep) for your treatment.
Because individual cases vary, we can't set a standard fee, but we can give you an idea of costs. We'll always give you a firm written quotation once you've had a consultation. The costs are generally comparable to crown and bridge restorations and should be weighed against the quality of life implants provide. When the long term costs of an implant and a bridge are compared an implant will often be a more cost effective long term option for most people.
