Why choose dental implants?

Missing teeth can make you feel like hiding your smile. They can also affect your oral health, making it harder to eat and drink. If you’re looking for a permanent solution, implants could be for you.

Dental implants are a permanent, natural-looking way to replace missing teeth and restore your smile. An implant acts like a new tooth root, securing a crown or bridge in place and helping to preserve jawbone health. Whether you're missing one tooth or several, implants look, feel, and function just like natural teeth, giving you back the confidence to smile, eat, and speak comfortably.

How do dental implants work?

Dental implants are a two-part solution for missing teeth. First, a titanium implant is placed into your jawbone to act as an artificial tooth root. Over time, the implant fuses with your bone, creating a stable foundation for a crown or bridge. Once you’re completely healed, your dentist will attach a custom-made crown that matches the colour, shape, and feel of your natural teeth. You can have either one implant or a whole set of them.

It usually takes 3-6 months for the entire treatment process, allowing time for the implant to fully integrate with your bone. Your dentist will guide you through the healing period, ensuring everything progresses smoothly. Implants are cared for just like natural teeth and can last a lifetime with proper hygiene. We use Straumann and Anthogyr, which offer the best possible options for colour-matching and durability.

Single implants

Missing even one tooth can have a huge impact on your confidence and your daily life, but single dental implants can restore your smile. Blending seamlessly with your natural teeth, your new implant will help prevent bone loss and preserve your oral health, giving you a strong, comfortable replacement that feels like part of your natural smile.

Full arch rehabilitation

Full arch rehabilitation with dental implants is a transformative treatment for anyone missing most or all of the teeth in the upper or lower jaw. Your dentist will strategically place implants throughout the gap, creating a secure foundation for a full set of artificial teeth.

Your journey to a fuller smile

Step one

Speak to one of the team on the phone

This free, initial chat will go over any initial questions you have and make sure the team has everything they need to advise you. You’ll also be asked to send in photos of your teeth.

Step two

Free virtual consultation

Meet with your dentist over video call to speak about your smile goals and go through treatment options, costs, and more. This is a no-obligation chat to give you an idea of the costs and timelines involved with getting your teeth how you’d like them.

Step Three

In-depth consultation

Join your dentist for a full dental examination including scans, X-rays, and photos of your mouth. Your dentist will tell you more about their suggested treatment plan and can give you information about finance options.

If you’re a nervous patient, don’t worry — your dentist is super experienced in soothing anxieties and will go at your pace, explaining everything along the way.

Step Four

Planning and placing your implant(s)

Your dentist will do any further scans needed to get your mouth ready, then it’s time to fit the roots of your implants. We always use local anaesthetic to numb the area but we can also arrange sedation for more complex treatments or if you’re feeling nervous.

Once the titanium roots are in, your dentist will fit a temporary restoration to fill the gap while the root heals.

Step Five

Full restoration

Once your implant has healed, it’s time to restore your smile! Depending on your goals, this might mean installing a crown or a number of artificial teeth onto your implants. Whatever you go for will be matched to your teeth to create a natural, seamless look. At this point, your dentist will check everything and give you advice to help keep your implants looking fresh. Then, it’s time to enjoy your new smile.

Frequently asked questions

at Sheffield Smiles

Dental implants

Are dental implants right for me?

If you’re looking for a permanent solution to replace missing teeth, dental implants may be a great choice. They provide stability and look and function just like a natural tooth. During your free consultation, your dentist can assess your needs and determine if implants are the best option for you.

Who can have dental implants?

If you’re over 18 and are in good health, you should be able to have implants. However, your gums and jawbone need to be healthy enough to sustain them, so your dentist will need to examine your mouth to make sure implants are the right fit for you.

How long does it take to fit implants?

Typically, dental implants take around 3-6 months from start to finish, depending on the healing process and individual circumstances. Your dentist will give you a more accurate timeline during your consultation.

How long do dental implants last?

Well-cared-for implants are permanent and can last a lifetime. As with your natural teeth, regular dental check-ups and hygienist visits will help keep them healthy and looking good.

How do I care for dental implants?

Just as you would your natural teeth. You should brush twice a day, floss, and see your dentist regularly to keep them in the best shape.
