Transform Your Smile with Advanced Dental Implants – York House Dental Practice

Missing teeth can affect more than just your smile—they can impact your confidence, oral health, and even the way you eat and speak. At York House Dental Practice, we provide dental implants as a trusted and long-lasting solution for replacing missing teeth. Our implant treatments are designed to look, feel, and function like natural teeth, giving you the freedom to smile and live confidently again.

What Are Dental Implants?

A dental implant is a small titanium post that is surgically placed into the jawbone. Over time, it fuses with the bone in a process called osseointegration, creating a strong and stable foundation. Once healed, a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture is attached to the implant, completing your new tooth replacement.

Unlike removable dentures or bridges, implants are fixed, permanent, and help maintain jawbone health. They are widely considered the gold standard for tooth replacement.

Why Choose Dental Implants?

Dental implants are chosen by millions worldwide because they:

• Restore function – Eat and speak comfortably without worrying about slipping dentures.

• Look natural – Implants blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.

• Protect bone health – Prevent jawbone shrinkage that often happens after tooth loss.

• Last long-term – With proper care, implants can last for decades.

• Boost confidence – A complete smile improves self-esteem and overall quality of life.

Types of Dental Implant Treatments

At York House Dental Practice, we offer a range of implant treatments in West Byfleet, Surrey to suit your needs:

1. Single Tooth Implants

   • Replace one missing tooth with a single implant and crown.

2. Implant-Supported Bridges

   • A fixed bridge supported by implants to replace multiple missing teeth.

3. All-on-4 / All-on-6 Implants

   • A full arch of teeth secured with just 4–6 implants. A reliable solution for patients missing most or all teeth.

4. Implant-Supported Dentures

   • Removable or fixed dentures anchored by implants for improved stability.

Step-by-Step Procedure

The dental implant journey is carefully planned to ensure safety, comfort, and long-term success.

1. Initial Consultation & Planning

   • Comprehensive examination of teeth and gums.

   • X-rays or 3D scans to assess jawbone health.

   • Discussion of treatment options and personalised plan.

2. Implant Placement

   • Titanium post is surgically placed into the jawbone under local anaesthesia.

   • Procedure typically takes 1–2 hours per implant.

3. Healing & Osseointegration

   • Over 3–6 months, the implant fuses with the bone, creating a stable base.

   • Temporary crowns or bridges may be provided during this period.

4. Abutment Placement

   • A small connector piece is attached to the implant once healing is complete.

5. Final Restoration

   • A custom-made crown, bridge, or denture is fitted on top of the implant.

   • The new tooth is colour-matched and shaped to blend perfectly with your natural teeth.

Treatment Duration

• Consultation & scans: 30–45 minutes.

• Implant surgery: 1–2 hours.

• Healing phase: 3–6 months (varies by patient).

• Final crown fitting: 1–2 visits.

In total, treatment may take several months, but the long-term results are worth the wait.

Factors Affecting Cost of Dental Implants

The cost of dental implants at York House Dental Practice depends on:

• Number of implants required.

• Type of restoration (crown, bridge, or denture).

• Bone quality and need for grafting or sinus lift.

• Diagnostic imaging and planning.

• Complexity of the case.

While implants may be more costly than other options, they are also the most durable and reliable tooth replacement.

Ideal Candidates for Dental Implants

Dental implants may be the right choice if you:

• Have one or more missing teeth.

• Want a long-lasting alternative to dentures.

• Have healthy gums and sufficient bone support.

• Are generally healthy and a non-smoker.

• Want to improve your ability to chew, speak, and smile confidently.

If you are unsure whether implants are suitable for you, our dentists will assess your individual case during consultation.

Possible Side Effects or Risks

Dental implant treatment is very safe when performed by experienced dentists, but like any surgical procedure, it can involve minor side effects such as:

• Mild swelling or bruising after surgery.

• Temporary gum soreness or sensitivity.

• Small risk of infection if aftercare instructions aren’t followed.

• Rare cases of implant rejection or failure (usually linked to smoking or poor oral hygiene).

Most patients recover quickly and return to normal routines within a few days.
