Dental Implants

Restore Your Confidence with a Smile 

Missing teeth can significantly impact your daily life. Swindon Dental & Implant Clinic offers dental implants as a natural-looking and long-lasting solution. Our experienced team, led by Dr. Patel, is dedicated to guiding you through the implant journey.

 

What Are Dental Implants?

Implants are tiny titanium posts placed in your mouth to act as artificial tooth roots. Over time, they fuse with your jawbone to form a strong foundation for a replacement tooth/teeth.

FAQs

There is no upper age limit to placing dental implants. In many cases, where there isn’t sufficient bone, grafting procedures can be done to allow treatment. There are very few times implants are not advisable and Dr Patel will discuss these with you if they apply in your case.

In short, No! We prioritise your comfort with local anaesthesia and can also offer sedation options if you require them. Whilst you may experience some mild discomfort afterward, this is usually manageable with medication normally taken for a headache.
The treatment time can vary between patients but typically takes 10-12 weeks. You will be provided with a personalised plan following your comprehensive assessment with Dr Patel.
With proper care and maintenance, the vast majority of implants will last well over 10 years.
To ensure the best treatment outcomes, it is critical to ensure we start with a healthy and stable gum and tooth condition. We call this the ‘stabilisation’ phase of treatment, and this ensures optimal outcomes for your work. If any additional steps are needed, such as rebuilding the bone as part of your treatment, this will always be clear in your bespoke treatment plan.
