A dental implant is a permanent and natural-looking solution for replacing a missing tooth. The process involves placing a titanium post into the jawbone where the tooth was lost, allowing it to fuse with the bone through osseointegration. This creates a strong foundation for a custom-made crown attached to the implant and designed to match your natural teeth’ colour, size, and shape. The result is a tooth that looks, feels, and functions just like a natural one, allowing you to chew, speak, and smile confidently.
Unlike traditional bridges, which may require altering adjacent teeth, a dental implant preserves the integrity of neighbouring teeth and helps prevent bone loss in the jaw. This makes it a durable, long-term solution that can last a lifetime with proper care. Dental implants are effective in restoring your smile’s aesthetics, ensuring proper function and maintaining the health of your jawbone and surrounding teeth.


stability and durability. When multiple teeth are missing, two or more implants are strategically placed into the jawbone to serve as anchors for a fixed bridge. This bridge is custom-made to match the natural teeth and is securely attached to the implants, restoring both function and appearance. This method eliminates the need for individual implants for each missing tooth, making it a cost-effective option while still ensuring a strong, permanent restoration.
The implant-supported bridge not only looks and feels like natural teeth but also helps maintain the health of the jawbone, preventing bone loss that often occurs with missing teeth. Unlike traditional dentures or partials, implant-supported bridges do not shift or move, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. This long-term solution offers durability, comfort, and a natural aesthetic, helping to restore oral health and function.
Dental implants offer a stable and permanent alternative to traditional dentures for individuals needing to replace all the teeth in an arch. This process typically involves placing several implants in strategic locations along the jaw to support a full-arch prosthesis. Dr Alshafi carefully determines the number of implants required and their placement based on your unique dental structure, bone density, and oral health. Once the implants are in place, they serve as secure anchors for a custom-made, full-arch bridge that mimics the look and function of natural teeth.
Unlike traditional removable dentures, implant-supported full-arch restorations are fixed in place, providing superior stability and comfort. This option not only restores the full functionality of your bite but also prevents bone loss, helping to maintain the natural shape of your face and jaw. With proper care, implant-supported full-arch restorations can last a lifetime, offering a permanent and aesthetically pleasing solution for patients who want to restore their smile with maximum comfort and durability.


Implant-supported dentures provide a reliable solution to the common problem of loose-fitting traditional dentures. By securing the dentures with dental implants, patients experience improved stability and functionality, allowing them to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. The implants act as anchors that hold the dentures securely in place, preventing movement and reducing gum irritation that is often caused by ill-fitting dentures. This enhanced support greatly improves the wearer’s comfort and quality of life, eliminating the worry of dentures shifting or slipping during daily activities.
In addition to the comfort and stability, implant-supported dentures also help maintain the health of the jawbone. Traditional dentures rest on the gums and do not stimulate the underlying bone, which can lead to bone loss over time. Dental implants, however, mimic natural tooth roots, stimulating the jawbone and preventing its deterioration. This results in not only a more secure fit but also better long-term oral health, allowing patients to enjoy a more active, worry-free lifestyle.

Every patient’s needs are different so Dr Alshafi always completes an in-depth implant consultation before beginning treatment. At your initial consultation X-rays are taken to see if you have sufficient quality and quantity of bone. Some medical conditions can affect the bone growing onto the implant and requires careful assessment, but in general most people are suitable candidates for dental implants.
If you have been referred to us by your own dentist Dr Alshafi will carry out the treatment for which you have been referred and then return you to the care of your regular dentist who will complete any ongoing treatment.
If you would like to know more about dental implants or to see if dental implants are suitable in your case we offer a no-obligation implant consultation. Get in touch with us today on 01628 824558 to book an appointment and see how dental implants could benefit you.
Dental implants are used as a replacement for a natural tooth root. The implant itself is a very small but strong post made of biocompatible material, which is surgically inserted into the jawbone.
Dental implants are a safe, well-established treatment, supported by over 30 years of clinical evidence. Dr Ahmed Alshafi has a 99% success rate with the implants he has placed.
Once the dental implant has integrated with the bone and surrounding soft tissue, its life will be largely determined by the quality of at-home care and attendance at regular clinical reviews. If poorly cared for, plaque can build up, just as with natural teeth and this can lead to gum infection, bleeding and general discomfort. However, well-maintained implants can be expected to last many years and often a whole lifetime.
There is no upper age for dental implants and they are successfully used as an anchorage for dentures. Your suitability will depend on the quality of the bone in your jaw and Ahmed’s consideration of your individual case.










EXCELLENT Based on 299 reviews Posted on Google Jonathan bryantTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had a really positive experience at my recent hygienist appointment. The whole visit was excellent from start to finish. The surgery was as always absolutely lovely and spotlessly clean and a lovely welcome from the reception staff. Simran was fantastic — very informative throughout the appointment, explaining everything clearly and making sure I understood each step. She was incredibly gentle and professional, and her calm, relaxing manner really helped put me at ease. I would highly recommend Simran and the practice to anyone looking for excellent dental care. The free easy parking is also a massive plus.Posted on Google charmaine papworthTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
