Dental implants are a modern and highly advanced dental restoration, able to significantly improve your smile in a solid, secure and aesthetic way. They are strong titanium posts, placed into the jawbone to create a fixed new tooth root. The implant can then be used as a support for a crown, bridge or denture.
Titanium is very well tolerated by the body, and fuses to the surrounding bone in the jaw during a process called osseointegration. The titanium post then becomes a solid and durable foundation.
Book an appointmentA missing tooth can affect more than just your confidence to smile. It can cause your gums to shrink and your remaining teeth to shift and move out of position, eventually leading to your facial shape losing structure. Implants give you back the look, feel and function of natural teeth, alongside the benefits of closing the gap and providing crucial support.
At Stourbridge Dental & Implant Clinic, each treatment is completely bespoke. We take time to consider every detailed element of the process to ensure that the end result meets your requirements and quite literally puts a smile on your face.
Dental implant treatment can be quite lengthy, involving several in-surgery appointments.
During a full free treatment consultation, we assess your case, ensuring you are a suitable implant candidate. Your treatment plan is devised and discussed in detail, including an estimated cost and timeframe. We want you to be completely comfortable and understand every step of the process, so give you plenty of time to ask any questions and show you examples of our previous implant work.
Using state-of-the-art digital scans and images, we precisely and accurately plan the best positions for your dental implants. Any preparatory treatment needed, such as bone grafts, sinus lifts or extractions, is carried out.
The titanium implant is placed into your jawbone by our skilled implantologist, using local anaesthetic to minimise any discomfort. The implant will take 3-6 months to heal and fuse to the bone, so a temporary tooth is fitted to protect your gum during the healing process.
Once your implant has fully healed and integrated, we fit your final crown or bridge and complete your brand new smile. We will give you some advice on how to look after your dental implant and leave you to start showing off your smile!

Implants stay firmly in place, bonded to your bone for complete security. They will not slip or come loose over time, and you can be confident of their durability.
Implants look and feel just like your natural teeth, and can be treated as such. Your smile is transformed and you can feel confident about your teeth again.
Implants support your facial structure and any remaining natural teeth. They also protect your otherwise vulnerable gums.
Implants use cutting edge digital dental technology combined with specialist expertise to create the next best thing to a natural tooth.
Many people think dentures are the best, or only, affordable solution to replace multiple teeth. However, implants can offer a great alternative to removable dentures which can become loose and uncomfortable over time. If you’ve already invested in complete dentures but find that they have begun to slip or rub against your gums, we are able to use dental implants to stabilise them, providing a durable solution to tooth loss.
We use local anaesthetic during dental implant surgery to ensure you are comfortable during the procedure. You won’t be able to feel a thing. After treatment, it is normal to experience some discomfort, and this can be managed with pain relief advised by your dentist. Implant treatment is often less painful than having a tooth extraction, and most patients are able to return to their usual routines the next day.
You should treat your dental implants just like natural teeth, and include them in your normal oral hygiene routine. As they are made from artificial materials, your implants are invulnerable to decay or cavities, but you will still need to brush and floss to keep the gum surrounding the implant healthy and problem-free.
Dental implants have the potential to last a lifetime if they are properly looked after. This includes maintaining an excellent brushing and flossing routine, looking after your general health and attending regular check up appointments with your dentist.
