Are you looking for a long-lasting solution for missing teeth? Our private dentists in Chatham specialise in high-quality dental implants that blend seamlessly with your natural smile.
Dental implants are a revolutionary solution for missing teeth. Made from titanium, these small screws are placed into the jawbone to act as artificial tooth roots. Over time, the implant fuses with the bone, creating a strong foundation for a custom-made dental crown, bridge or denture, depending on your needs. This procedure provides a natural-looking, functional replacement that mimics real teeth.
Dental implants offer the closest alternative to natural teeth in both aesthetics and function. At our Chatham dental practice, we take pride in offering a range of implant treatments designed to restore smiles with long-lasting results.
If you have one or more missing teeth due to gum disease, decay or injury, dental implants may be the ideal solution. Gaps in your smile can cause surrounding teeth to shift, leading to bite problems and bone loss. Unlike dentures or bridges, dental implants help preserve bone structure and prevent facial sagging.
At our private practice in Chatham, we provide expert implant treatments tailored to each patient’s unique needs. Whether you require single dental implants or full-mouth restoration, we are proud to ensure a comfortable and effective experience for all of our patients.
During your consultation, one of our experienced clinicians in Chatham will discuss the treatment options available to you. We will take the time to learn your oral health history and discuss what you’d like to change about your smile. In the rare instance that dental implants are not recommended for you, we will make sure to create an alternative tailored treatment plan that meets your needs.
Losing a single tooth can impact your confidence and oral health. A single dental implant replaces one missing tooth without affecting adjacent teeth. Unlike bridge, implants do not rely on neighbouring teeth for support.
For those missing multiple teeth, the All-on-Four or All-on-Six dental implant treatment provides a full-arch restoration. This procedure involves placing four to six implants in strategic locations to support an entire set of teeth. Benefits include:
Traditional dentures can become loose over time, making eating and speaking challenging. Implant-retained dentures offer a secure and stable alternative. These dentures are anchored to dental implants, ensuring improved comfort and confidence.
Your journey begins with a thorough consultation at our Chatham practice. Our experienced clinicians will assess your oral health, discuss your treatment goals and determine the best implant solution for you.
During your procedure, the titanium screw is carefully placed into the jawbone under local anaesthesia. This minor surgical procedure is precise and efficient, ensuring minimal discomfort.
Over the next 12-16 weeks, your implant will integrate with the jawbone in a process known as osseointegration. This ensures a strong and stable foundation for your new tooth.
Once the healing process is complete, a custom-made crown, bridge or denture is securely attached to your dental implants. This final step restores your smile with a natural look and feel.
Proper aftercare ensures the longevity of your dental implants. Following placement, you may experience mild discomfort, swelling or bruising, which typically subsides within a week. Our dentists recommend:
Once fully healed, continue routine dental visits and daily care to ensure your implants last a lifetime.
Many patients ask about the difference between dental implants and crowns. A dental crown is a cap placed over a damaged or weak tooth, whereas a dental implant replaces the entire tooth, including its root. The implant serves as a secure foundation for the crown.
If you currently wear dentures but are unhappy with their fit and stability, dental implants may be the perfect upgrade. Implant-supported dentures eliminate common problems associated with traditional dentures, such as slipping and discomfort, as well as difficulty eating certain foods.
Our private dentists in Chatham can assess your suitability for implant-supported dentures and guide you through the process.
The cost of dental implants varies depending on the number of teeth replaced and the complexity of the procedure. Our team offers competitive pricing and flexible payment options to make treatment accessible. To learn more, contact our friendly team in Chatham today.

With proper care, dental implants can last over 10-15 years, often a lifetime.
No. The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, ensuring a painless experience. Mild discomfort during healing can be managed with over-the-counter pain relief.
