Dental Implants - Kensington Smile

Rebuild Your Smile with Dental Implants Kensington Families Trust

If you’re missing one or more teeth and want a lasting solution, dental implants offer a natural-looking and secure way to restore your smile. They’re designed to feel and function just like real teeth, with no shifting, no clicking, and no gaps.

Makes Dental Implants Unique

What Makes Dental Implants Unique?

Dental implants are small titanium posts placed in the jawbone, acting as artificial roots. Once they fuse with the bone, they provide a stable base for crowns, bridges, or dentures. This method is widely used for its long-term success and lifelike results.
Beyond simply replacing teeth, there are a few different types of tooth implants to suit your needs:

  • Single tooth implants: Ideal for replacing one missing tooth with a custom crown.
  • Implant-supported bridges: These are useful when several teeth in a row are missing and are supported by implants at each end.
  • Full arch implants: These are often used for complete upper or lower tooth replacement, using four or more implants.
  • Zygomatic implants: An advanced option for patients with reduced bone volume in the upper jaw.
  • Mini implants: A smaller alternative that may be suitable for tight spaces or when bone density is limited.

Who Might Benefit from Dental Implants?

  • Has one or more missing teeth
  • Finds dentures uncomfortable or unstable
  • Wants a fixed, long-term solution
  • Has healthy gums and adequate bone support
  • Seeks improved bite and chewing function
  • Desires natural-looking results

How the Dental Implant Process Works

How the Dental Implant Process Works

  • The tooth implant is carefully placed into the jawbone during a minor surgical procedure.
  • Healing takes place over a few months, allowing the bone to bond with the implant.
  • Once healed, a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture is attached.
  • Follow-up appointments ensure healing is on track and the final restoration fits comfortably.
  • The entire process can span a few months, but results in a strong, stable outcome.

Why Patients Choose Dental Implants

  • Natural feel: Implants look, feel, and work just like your own teeth.
  • Long-lasting: With care, they can last for decades or even a lifetime.
  • Confidence boost: Enjoy laughing, eating, and speaking without worry.
  • Preserves bone: Unlike dentures, implants help prevent jawbone loss.
  • No adhesives: No slipping or messy pastes needed to keep them in place.
  • Protects surrounding teeth: There’s no need to file down healthy neighbouring teeth, as with a bridge.

Keeping your implants in excellent shape requires the same commitment you’d give your natural teeth. Here’s how to maintain long-term success.

Brush and floss daily

Just like with straight teeth, daily brushing and flossing help remove plaque and protect surrounding gums. Good habits keep your implants strong and your oral health in check.

Visit your dental clinic regularly for all your dental needs

Ongoing care at a trusted dental clinic is essential. Routine check-ups let our experienced dentists assess healing, clean implant areas thoroughly, and support your overall dental health.

Choose the right products

Use soft-bristled toothbrushes and non-abrasive toothpaste to avoid damaging the crown. Ask our team for advice during your next visit.

Eat a balanced diet

Nutritious foods support healing and help maintain healthy teeth around the implant. Avoid overly sticky or hard items in the early stages of recovery.

Attend scheduled reviews

After dental surgery, your dentist may schedule progress checks. These are vital to track bone integration and ensure the implant is performing as it should.
