Dental Implants

What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are a natural-looking option for replacing missing teeth. A small titanium implant is placed into the jawbone to support a custom-made crown, bridge or overdenture. Implant-supported overdentures provide greater stability than traditional dentures, helping patients eat, speak and smile with confidence.

Dental Implants at Romsey Dental

Restore Your Smile with Confidence

Missing teeth can affect more than your appearance. They may make eating and speaking difficult, reduce your confidence and allow neighbouring teeth to move over time.
Dental implants provide a strong, natural
looking option for replacing one or more missing teeth. At Romsey Dental, we use modern technology and carefully planned treatment to help restore the appearance and function of your smile.

What Is a Dental Implant?

A dental implant is a small titanium fixture placed into the jawbone to replace the root of a missing tooth. Once the implant has integrated with the surrounding bone, it can support a custom-made dental crown, bridge or implant-retained denture.

Dental implants are designed to look, feel and function much like natural teeth.

Benefits of Dental Implants

Depending on your individual circumstances, dental implants may:

Replace one or more missing teeth
Improve your ability to chew
Provide a natural-looking result
Avoid the need to prepare neighbouring healthy teeth for a traditional bridge
Improve the stability of a loose or uncomfortable denture
Restore confidence in your smile

What Can Dental Implants Replace?

Dental implants may be used for:

A Single Missing Tooth
One implant can support a custom-made crown without relying on the neighbouring teeth for support.

Multiple Missing Teeth
Two or more implants may support an implant bridge, helping replace several missing teeth without requiring an individual implant for every tooth.

A Full Arch of Missing Teeth
For patients who have lost most or all of their teeth, multiple implants may be used to support a fixed full-arch restoration or a removable implant-retained denture.

Loose or Uncomfortable Dentures
Dental implants may provide additional support and stability for dentures, making it easier to speak, smile and enjoy a wider variety of foods.

Are Dental Implants Right for Me?

Many adults with missing teeth may be suitable for dental implant treatment. Your suitability will depend on factors including:

Your general and oral health
The health of your gums
The amount and quality of available jawbone
Your medical history and medications
Smoking or vaping
Your oral hygiene

The location and number of missing teeth
Some patients may require additional treatment, such as gum therapy, bone grafting or tooth removal, before implant placement. A detailed consultation is essential to determine whether implants are appropriate for you.

Advanced Implant Planning at Romsey Dental

Careful planning is an important part of successful implant treatment. Romsey Dental has invested in advanced dental technology, including CBCT three-dimensional imaging and digital scanning.

These technologies allow our dentists to assess the jawbone, surrounding structures and proposed implant position in greater detail. They can also assist with planning a restoration that complements your bite and smile.
