Dental implants are a clinically proven, long term tooth replacement treatment for failing or missing teeth, or for dentures.
Dental implant treatment can have life-changing benefits, giving you the freedom to eat without worry and to smile with confidence.
Once inserted into your jawbone to replace natural tooth roots, a crown or bridge of teeth is secured on top of the implants.
The result is stable replacement teeth with no gaps, enabling you to bite and chew normally and improving the aesthetics of your smile.
Dental implants are a “fixed” solution.
This means that, unlike dentures, they remain securely in place night and day, just like natural teeth.

What are dental implants?
Dental implants are titanium screws that are surgically inserted into the jawbone to replace natural tooth roots. They provide a stable base to support a crown or dental bridge of artificial teeth (also known as prosthetic teeth) that, once secured onto the implants, remain permanently in place.
Tooth replacement for one or more teeth
Dental implants can replace single or multiple teeth.
Full jaw dental implants replace full upper and / or lower arches of teeth
Who are they for?
Dental implants could be the right solution for you if:
- You want a permanent, fixed solution for your loose and missing teeth
- You struggle with uncomfortable dentures
- You’d love a new confident smile
- You want the freedom to eat normally, comfortably and without worry – even crunchy apples
- You’d like an end to constant dental infections and pain caused by failing teeth
Am I suitable for dental implants?
Dental implants are a tooth replacement solution suitable for most adults.
Teeth in a Day same day dental implants (the most advanced technique in implant dentistry), can be life-changing for patients requiring full upper or lower arch reconstruction. Oral health and quality of life are restored; no more infections, no more avoiding hard, chewy foods or hot and cold drinks.
Bone graft treatment is not usually required, even for people with extreme gum disease, bone loss or poor bone density.
How will I be assessed?
As with any dental surgical procedure, every patient should be carefully assessed for suitability for dental implant treatment. Everyone has their own medical history and personal needs.
Your initial consultation
At David Neal Dental, all patients considering dental implants attend an initial consultation with one of our highly trained implant dentists.
We’ll talk to you about your dental problems, your personal needs and wishes, and your medical history. We’ll also give you a thorough mouth examination and explain the dental treatments available to you.
If your dentist feels you are likely to be suitable for dental implants, and if you wish to progress, the next stage is to have a CT scan.
If we feel dental implants are not an appropriate treatment, we will explain why and help find the best option for you.
Why do I need a CT scan?
CT (Computerised Tomography) scans show the quantity and quality of your underlying bone i.e. bone that is not visible to the naked eye.
The CT scans are analysed by your implant surgeon to definitively confirm your suitability.
They are also used to ensure precise implant placement during surgery.
Once suitability is confirmed, we provide you with a detailed treatment plan, outlining all aspects of your treatment to replace your missing teeth. The treatment plan includes the cost of treatment.
Occasionally, a patient may be assessed as unsuitable for dental implants. In these instances, your dentist will discuss alternative solutions with you.
Caring for dental implants
If dental implants are well cared for, they can last many years, even a lifetime. Once treatment is complete, a good at-home oral hygiene routine is vital to ensure longevity of the implants.
We advise seeing your dentist and dental hygienist regularly so they can check your dental implants as part of your overall dental health.
