Missing teeth can be effectively replaced with dental implants. Whether you need to replace just one tooth or multiple teeth, implants are an excellent, long lasting solution. These are the perfect choice for many people, as they mean you don't need to wear full or partial dentures or have healthy teeth filed down to accommodate a bridge.
A dental implant is a titanium screw which is placed in the bone and acts as a very stable foundation for the replacement tooth.
At Aron Marcus Dental Practice we use the Southern Implants system. We combine the latest technologies of 3D scanning and printing for implant planning and placement to ensure optimal accuracy.

Dental implants are a great option for people who are missing one or more teeth, struggling with loose dentures, and who have good general and gum health. They work best when there is enough jawbone to support the implant, although bone grafting may be possible if bone levels are low.
However, implants may not be suitable for everyone, particularly if there are certain health or gum issues. In cases where the jawbone is insufficient or implants aren’t the best choice, alternative options such as bone grafting procedures or other tooth replacement solutions may be recommended. Our experienced team can guide you through the best options for your individual case.
A CBCT 3D scan of the jaw is very important in the first assessment to check if your jaw has enough quality bone for an implant to be placed into. Certain systemic and dental disorders such as diabetes, bone diseases, periodontal disease and smoking can compromise the success of implant treatments.
We aim to make the dental implant process as clear and comfortable as possible. A typical patient journey looks like this:
1. Consultation and 3D assessment
The journey begins with a consultation and a 3D assessment of your teeth and jaw. During this visit, our dental team evaluates your oral health, discusses your goals, and takes advanced imaging to create a precise view of your bone structure and the areas where implants may be placed.
2. Treatment planning
Once the assessment is complete, we develop a personalised treatment plan tailored to your needs. This plan outlines the number of implants required, the type of restoration best suited for you, and the anticipated timeline for your treatment. Our goal is to ensure you fully understand each stage before proceeding.
3. Implant placement
The next step is the implant placement procedure. Using precise surgical techniques, the implant is carefully inserted into the jawbone to serve as a stable foundation for your new tooth or teeth. For your comfort, this procedure is carried out under local anaesthetic.
4. Healing period (osseointegration)
After the implant is placed, a healing period begins, during which osseointegration occurs. This is the process by which the implant fuses securely with the jawbone, providing long-term stability for your tooth restoration. Depending on the individual case, this healing phase typically lasts several weeks to a few months.
5. Final crown placement
Once the implant has fully integrated, the final crown, bridge, or denture is attached. This restoration is custom-made to match the colour, shape, and size of your natural teeth, giving you a seamless and natural-looking result.
6. Aftercare
Aftercare is a crucial part of maintaining your dental implants. We provide detailed guidance on oral hygiene, diet, and regular check-ups to ensure your new teeth remain healthy and fully functional for many years. Our team is always available to address any questions or concerns during and after your treatment.
When considering tooth replacement options, it is important to understand the differences between dental implants, bridges, and dentures.
Dental implants are often considered the premium solution because they offer the longest-lasting results, excellent comfort, and superior stability. They also help preserve the jawbone by stimulating natural bone growth, which maintains facial structure over time.
Bridges provide a fixed solution for missing teeth, but they rely on adjacent healthy teeth for support, which can sometimes compromise those teeth.
Dentures, while often more affordable, can be less stable and may require adhesives, while also offering less comfort and limited bone preservation. Implants typically require less ongoing maintenance compared to bridges and dentures, making them a durable and convenient option for patients seeking a natural-looking, long-term solution.
By understanding these differences, you can make informed decisions about which treatment best meets your functional and aesthetic needs.
At Aron Marcus Dental Practice, we offer a range of dental implant solutions to meet different needs, whether you are replacing a single tooth or multiple teeth.
A single tooth implant is an ideal solution for replacing a missing tooth while preserving the surrounding healthy teeth. It looks and functions like a natural tooth and helps maintain the structure of your jawbone over time.
For patients who are missing several teeth, an implant bridge can replace multiple teeth using fewer implants than individual replacements. This option provides a stable and long-lasting solution, restoring both the appearance and function of your smile.
For those who currently wear dentures, implant-retained dentures offer a significant improvement in stability and comfort. Unlike traditional dentures, these are anchored to implants in the jaw, preventing slipping and making it easier to eat, speak, and smile with confidence.
Each implant treatment is personalised to your needs, and our team will guide you through the options to ensure the best functional and aesthetic outcome.
Your Questions About Dental Implants — Answered
Many patients considering dental implants have questions about the procedure, comfort, and long-term results. A common concern is whether dental implants are painful. Most patients report minimal discomfort, as the procedure is performed under local anaesthetic, and any post-treatment soreness can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain relief.
The price of a single dental implant and crown starts from £2850.00.
Another important question is how long dental implants last. With proper care, including regular dental check-ups and good oral hygiene, implants can last for many years and often provide a permanent solution for missing teeth. The longevity of implants depends on factors such as oral health, lifestyle habits, and adherence to aftercare instructions.
Patients often ask how long the implant treatment takes. The full process varies depending on the complexity of the case, the number of implants, and the need for any preliminary procedures such as bone grafting. Typically, the entire process, from consultation to final restoration, can take several months, allowing sufficient time for healing and osseointegration.
Smokers sometimes wonder whether they are eligible for dental implants. While smoking does not automatically prevent treatment, it can affect healing and the long-term success of implants. Our team will discuss your individual circumstances and provide guidance on steps to maximise success if you are a smoker.
Finally, many patients want to understand the consequences of not replacing missing teeth. Leaving gaps can lead to shifting of adjacent teeth, bite problems, bone loss in the jaw, and difficulty chewing or speaking properly. Replacing missing teeth with dental implants not only restores function and appearance but also helps preserve jawbone structure and overall oral health.
