Restore your smile with dental implants in Newmarket
Losing a tooth can affect more than just your appearance; it impacts your ability to eat comfortably, speak clearly, and feel confident. Thankfully, modern dentistry offers a permanent and natural-looking solution. If you are seeking to replace missing teeth with a stable, long-lasting restoration, dental implants in Newmarket provide the gold standard in tooth replacement technology. An implant is the closest thing you can get to having your natural tooth back, giving you a strong foundation for a complete, beautiful smile.
Discover the benefits of dental implants for a confident smile
Choosing dental implants offers a wealth of advantages over traditional methods like dentures or bridges. Implants not only restore your smile aesthetically but also maintain your oral health. They stimulate the jawbone, preventing the bone loss that often occurs when a tooth root is missing, which helps preserve your natural face shape. Furthermore, implants are permanent, stable, and secure, meaning you can eat, laugh, and speak without fear of slipping or clicking, giving you full confidence in social situations.
How dental implants can replace missing teeth effectively
Dental implants function just like a natural tooth root. The treatment involves placing a small, bio-compatible titanium post, the implant, into the jawbone beneath the gum line. Over a few months, this post naturally fuses with your bone in a process called osseointegration, creating an incredibly secure anchor. Once stable, this root replacement is used to firmly support a custom-made porcelain crown or bridge, effectively restoring both the function and structure of your missing tooth or teeth.
Single missing tooth
An implant-supported crown is an ideal and permanent solution for replacing a single missing tooth. This treatment involves a simple procedure where a small titanium ‘root’ is gently placed into your jawbone to create a strong, stable foundation. Once the implant is secure, a custom-designed crown (the artificial tooth) is attached to it. The result is a new tooth that looks natural, is securely fixed, and functions just like your own, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with renewed confidence.
Replacing multiple teeth
If you are missing several teeth in a row, an implant-supported bridge offers a secure and fixed replacement. Unlike traditional bridges that rely on neighbouring healthy teeth, this solution uses dental implants, small, artificial roots placed in the jawbone, to support the replacement teeth. Typically, one implant is placed for each missing tooth, and the artificial crowns are connected to form a single, strong unit. This method provides a stable and long-lasting restoration, and we use advanced digital planning to ensure the implants are placed in the best possible position for an excellent final result.
Full mouth teeth replacement
Patients who have lost all their teeth but have enough jawbone, can opt for Implant supported full mouth bridge (fixed option) or Implant supported denture (removable option).
Implant supported full mouth bridge
This is similar to a regular dental bridge, but it is supported by implants and not by natural teeth.
In most cases, when an implant-supported bridge is used, around 4-6 implants are placed in each jaw bone and the crowns are connected to each other to form one piece.
We have the technology to digitally plan the implant location and angulation before placement to achieve the best possible end result.
Implant-supported denture
Implant-supported denture (more cost effective than the above fixed option) offers a significantly more secure and stable solution than traditional dentures. This treatment involves placing a few dental implants into the jawbone, which are fitted with special attachments that allow your denture to firmly “snap on.” While the denture can still be easily removed for cleaning, once secured, it provides much greater stability, improving your ability to eat, speak, and feel confident. This approach, which can sometimes use an innovative and cost-effective Locator® system, is highly recommended for stabilising loose dentures and can even be retrofitted to your existing denture.
Tooth replacement options that look and feel natural
One of the most appealing aspects of dental implants is their highly natural appearance and feel. The custom-made crowns placed on top of the implants are carefully matched to the colour, shape, and size of your surrounding natural teeth, ensuring your restoration blends seamlessly into your smile. Because the implant is anchored directly into the jawbone, it does not rely on neighbouring teeth or rest on the gums, providing the comfort and stability of a natural tooth. You care for them just as you would your own teeth, making them a truly integrated and comfortable solution.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are All on 4 dental implants suitable for everyone?
Most people who have lost multiple teeth or are facing the prospect of full arch tooth replacement can be candidates for All on 4 dental implants. A thorough evaluation by a dental professional is necessary to determine your suitability based on your oral health and bone density.
Can teeth implants replace more than one missing tooth?
Yes, teeth implants are very successful at replacing a single missing tooth or multiple missing teeth. We can insert several strategically placed implants to support a bridge or partial denture, replacing a number of adjacent teeth. Dental implants can also be used to replace a full arch of upper or lower missing teeth, giving you back the confidence of a full smile.
Can dental implants really replace missing teeth permanently?
Dental implants have the potential to last for the rest of your life, provided they are properly looked after. As they are fused into your jawbone, they mimic natural tooth roots exactly. You need to remember to brush and floss twice a day, look after your overall health, and visit your dentist for regular check-up appointments. The replacement tooth fixed on top of your implant may need to be replaced over time due to wear and tear.
How do I look after dental implants?
You should treat your dental implants just like natural teeth and include them in your normal oral hygiene routine. As they are made from artificial materials, your implants are invulnerable to decay or cavities, but you will still need to brush and floss to keep the gum surrounding the implant healthy and problem-free.
How long does dental implant treatment take?
The whole dental implant process takes several months, as the implant needs time to heal and fuse to your bone before fixed permanent teeth can complete your smile. The implant surgery itself is a relatively quick procedure, but healing can take up to six months in some cases. Your new smile will be worth the wait!
Do you offer sedation for the procedure?
Yes, we can offer intravenous conscious sedation for the implant surgery.
