Dental Implants

Missing teeth affecting your smile or confidence? Dental implants could be the answer.

What Are Dental Implants?

A dental implant is a small titanium screw that is surgically placed into the jawbone to act as an artificial tooth root. Once in position, it provides a strong foundation for attaching a crown, bridge, or denture, giving you a replacement tooth that looks, feels, and functions like the real thing.

The titanium screw is biocompatible, meaning it fuses naturally with the bone in a process called osseointegration. This creates a stable and permanent base for your new tooth. Because the implant replaces the root, the surrounding teeth remain unaffected, unlike traditional bridges that require reshaping neighbouring teeth.

Over time, dental implants are often a more economical choice than dentures or bridges, thanks to their durability and long lifespan. At Dental on Broadway, we use advanced 3D imaging to plan every procedure, ensuring your implant is placed with precision and comfort.

Our Precision Implant Process

At Dental on Broadway, we use advanced technology and personalised care to make each step as comfortable as possible.
Here’s what you can expect:

Initial Assessment

We begin with a thorough consultation, including digital x-rays and 3D scans. This allows us to check bone levels, plan precise placement, and discuss the best implant option for you.

Implant Placement Surgery

The titanium implant is surgically placed into the jawbone. This is usually done under local anaesthetic, though sedation or general anaesthetic options are available if you prefer. The procedure itself is minor and typically takes under an hour to complete.

Healing Period

Over the next 3–4 months, your bone naturally fuses with the implant in a process called osseointegration. This creates a secure foundation for your new tooth.

Restoration

Once the implant is stable, we attach the abutment and a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture. The result is a tooth replacement that looks and functions like your natural teeth.

Smile, you're in good hands

Benefits of Dental Implants

Dental implants are considered the gold standard for replacing missing teeth because they provide long-term results that look, feel, and function like natural teeth.

At Dental on Broadway, our implants are designed to restore confidence while protecting your oral health.
Key benefits of dental implants include:

  • Improved confidence – enjoy a natural-looking smile you’ll feel proud to share.
  • Eat normally again – implants allow you to chew and bite with ease, just like natural teeth.
  • Feels like natural teeth – stable and secure, they won’t slip like dentures.
  • Improved biting pressure – restore strength for comfortable eating.
  • Preservation of bone levels – prevents bone loss that often occurs when teeth are missing.
  • High success rate – dental implants have the highest success rate of any form of dentistry.

Unlike dentures, which can feel loose or uncomfortable, implants are tested for stability before the final restoration is attached, ensuring solid and reliable results. With proper care, dental implants are a permanent solution, offering optimal function, aesthetics, and longevity.

At Dental on Broadway, our team uses advanced technology and expertise to help you achieve a brighter smile and stronger bite for years to 
come.

FAQs

Am I a suitable candidate for dental implants?

Most people with one or more missing teeth can benefit from dental implants, but suitability depends on individual health and dental conditions. A key requirement is having enough healthy jawbone to securely hold the implant. This is assessed using advanced X-rays and 3D scans, which allow us to measure bone density and check the available space.

General health is also essential. Certain conditions or medications may affect bone healing and need to be considered before treatment. Our team will discuss your medical history in detail to ensure the procedure is safe and effective for you.

During your initial consultation at Dental on Broadway, we’ll evaluate:

  • The amount of bone present in the jaw
  • The space available for the implant
  • How your bite comes together

With this information, we can confirm whether you’re a suitable candidate and design a treatment plan tailored to your needs.

Do I need to go under general anaesthetic?

Not always-local anesthetic is most common.

How long does the procedure take?

The surgery is quick, but full healing takes a few months before the final crown is attached.

Is an implant permanent?

Yes, with proper care, implants can last a lifetime.

Are implants safe?

Yes, they have the highest success rate of any dental treatment.

How can I prepare for a dental implant?

Preparing for dental implant treatment is an essential step in ensuring a smooth procedure and long-lasting results. At Dental on Broadway, we’ll guide you through every stage so you feel confident and well-prepared.

Before treatment, our team will carry out a full health assessment, including digital X-rays and scans, to check your bone levels and overall oral health. Some medical conditions or medications may affect healing in the jawbone, so it’s important to share your complete medical history with us.

You may also be advised to stop smoking or adjust certain medications before surgery, as these can impact recovery. Good oral hygiene—regular brushing, flossing, and professional cleans—is also essential to create the healthiest environment for your implant.

Our friendly team will provide clear instructions before your procedure, from dietary recommendations to pre-surgery care, ensuring you’re fully prepared for a safe and successful implant placement.
