It’s hard to exaggerate just how significant a breakthrough implant dentistry has been. Implants deliver the functionality and performance of healthy natural teeth, and unbeatable aesthetics.

An implant is a great choice for a single missing tooth, whether it’s visible or not, and the results can be life-changing. A single implant provides the foundation for a crown, which will be created at Upton Dental & Implant Clinic to match your teeth exactly.
Same Day Teeth is a process at Upton Dental & Implant Clinic where patients can have implants placed and fully functioning teeth attached in the space of one day. With the latest technological advances, it is possible to remove a tooth and place an implant immediately into the extraction socket.
If you have had missing teeth for a while then loss of bone in your jaw or bone atrophy is the body’s normal response to tooth loss, infection, gum disease of other trauma. This may mean you need some treatment before the Implant can be placed. The team here at Upton Dental & Implant Clinic will advise you of this.
If you’re missing more than one tooth, there are a number of options available to you at Upton Dental & Implant Clinic. In some cases a single implant can support two replacement teeth, or two implants can support a fixed bridge if you have several missing teeth. A bridge is a long-lasting, natural-looking solution which will help preserve the health of the rest of your teeth and jaw.
Dentures can be uncomfortable, irritating and embarrassing. With advances in Implant Dentistry, Upton Dental & Implant Clinic now offer innovative techniques for denture stabilisation, ensuring they are comfortable and will not slip.
As with natural teeth, good oral hygiene is important for preventing gum disease and prolonging the life of your implants. You do not need to remove the teeth fitted to your implants, but clean them as you would your natural teeth. A high standard of daily care, along with regular check-ups with your local Upton Dental & Implant Clinic dentist and hygienist, will help to ensure your mouth stays healthy and your implants last as long as possible.
Whether you need to replace a single tooth or many, dental implants offer the optimum combination of natural appearance and lasting performance. They can literally transform the lives of people who have not only worried about the way their teeth look, but also may have encountered discomfort when eating – or have even had to avoid some foods altogether. They offer the highest level of comfort – unlike dentures, no slipping or movement is possible, and you can care for them much as you would natural teeth.
After careful examination and measurement, dental implants are secured into your mouth using small screw-shaped attachments made from titanium. These are gently fitted into your jawbone to take the place of your missing tooth root. A new tooth can then be fitted onto the implant, once it has taken hold.

Patient Testimonial - Keiko Hendicott
"On arrival was asked to answer questions on paper while sitting in rather pleasant waiting room - overlooking garden outside, light and airy. Then spoke to a dentist about having an implant. Had scan and was shown photo images of inside mouth and was explained possible procedures.
Initial consultation was free and was told that quote for my treatment will be ready and posted in 5 days. Overall the staff was professional and pleasant to talk to."
