These replacements for tooth roots are surgically placed into the jawbone, providing a strong foundation for natural-looking, functional replacement teeth that restore your smile and confidence.

How do dental implants work?

Implant dentistry replaces missing teeth with artificial roots made from medical-grade materials that integrate with your jaw. After an assessment, we design a personalised treatment plan that sets out each stage in a clear order so you understand what to expect. Your implantologist will discuss the procedure in detail, including appointments, prices, timelines and any necessary anaesthesia.

If you are considered a good candidate for surgery, the dentist will place a titanium post into the jawbone where the missing tooth root would be. Over several months, the post will fuse with the bone in a process called osseointegration. We use advanced imaging and digital technology to collect data, plan the surgical step and final restoration, and coordinate appointments with our nurses so the experience feels organised and reassuring.

Once the post is stable, a custom-made crown is fitted to complete the restoration. Your implant and crown are produced with a quality laboratory, and we confirm the number of visits in advance, discussing details such as anaesthesia, timelines and any procedures needed to support healing.

Missing Teeth? Here’s Why Dental Implants Are the Gold Standard

Benefits of Dental Implants

Implants provide a stable solution for tooth loss, restoring function and appearance with results that look and feel natural. They can support single teeth, bridges or dentures, offering a range of implant solutions to match your goals and budget. We also account for gum disease risk factors and general oral health to protect your long-term outcome.

  • Natural Appearance: Implants blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, providing a discreet, aesthetically pleasing solution for missing teeth.
  • Improved Functionality: Dental implants restore full chewing function, allowing you to eat comfortably without restrictions or discomfort.
  • Durability: Made from titanium, implants are highly durable and can last for decades with proper care and maintenance.
  • Preserves Jawbone Health: Implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss that often occurs with missing teeth, maintaining facial structure.

Expected Results Of Dental Implants

After placement, there is a healing period while the implant integrates with the bone. We will confirm the number of visits in your plan, keep you updated at each step and offer practical advice about simple things you can do at home to support success. The final restoration involves a custom crown being placed once the implant is securely integrated.

How long do dental implants last?

Dental implants are highly durable, lasting 20 years or more with proper care. We also account for gum disease risk factors and overall oral health so your result remains stable over time.

How to care for your dental implants

Routine check-ups help us monitor implant health and manage any issues early. Maintain excellent home care and attend hygiene visits every 6 to 12 months. If you need additional services, such as support for gum disease or cosmetic dentistry to refine appearance, we can include these in your treatment plan. At New Ash Green Dental & Aesthetics we also offer professional cleaning as part of our dental hygiene treatment which can ensure the longevity of your implants.

Frequently Asked Questions About Dental Implants

Am I suitable for dental implants at your clinic in Kent?

Dental implants are suitable for individuals with missing teeth who have healthy gums and sufficient jawbone to support the implant. Good overall health is important, as conditions like uncontrolled diabetes or smoking may affect healing.

Suitability depends on bone quality, gum disease status and general health. We start with a detailed assessment and discussion of your needs and goals, then confirm a clear plan, including appointments, prices and expected timelines.

Your dentist will assess your oral health through a detailed examination, which may include X-rays, to determine if implants are the right option. In some cases, bone grafting may be recommended if there isn’t enough bone to support the implant.

Is it painful to get dental implants?

The procedure is carried out under local anaesthesia so you should feel pressure rather than pain. Any short-term discomfort is usually manageable with over-the-counter products, and our nurses provide clear aftercare advice at each stage.

After the implant is placed, there may be some swelling or soreness, but these symptoms typically subside within a few days. The healing process varies, but your dentist will provide pain management instructions to ensure a smooth recovery.

What materials are used for your dental implants?

Our dental implants are primarily made from titanium, the UK standard for strength, longevity and biocompatibility, and are carefully planned and fitted to your individual needs. When combined with the expertise of our dentists, you can be completely assured of durable, long-lasting results.

How long do I need to wait to have the crown fitted?

A typical healing period is 3 to 6 months before fitting the final crown, although timing depends on your case. We will confirm the number of visits and keep you informed from start to finish.

Once the implant is securely integrated, your dentist will fit a custom-made crown to complete the restoration. The exact timeline can vary based on individual healing, but your dentist will monitor the process to ensure everything is progressing smoothly.

How much do dental implants cost in Kent?

At New Ash Green Dental & Aesthetics in Kent, dental implants cost ÂŁ2,750. A dental implant consultation costs ÂŁ80. We provide clear prices with finance available if of interest.

How long does recovery take after getting dental implants?

Most patients are fully recovered within 2 weeks after getting dental implants, though the implant site may still feel slightly tender. However, the longer part of the process, known as osseointegration, takes several months as the implant integrates with the jawbone.
