Dental Implants Stamford - Permanent Tooth Replacement
The gold standard for replacing missing teeth. Dental implants look, feel, and function just like natural teeth.
About Dental Implants
Dental implants are widely considered the best solution for replacing missing teeth. At St Mary's Dental in Stamford, we offer this life-changing treatment to help you regain a complete, confident smile that looks and functions naturally. A dental implant is a small titanium post surgically placed into your jawbone, where it fuses with the bone to create a strong, permanent foundation. Once healed, a custom-made crown is attached to the implant, perfectly matching your natural teeth in shape and colour. Unlike dentures or bridges, implants don't rely on neighbouring teeth for support and actually help preserve your jawbone, preventing the facial changes that can occur after tooth loss. With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime, making them an excellent long-term investment in your oral health and quality of life. Our experienced implant team uses advanced 3D imaging and careful planning to ensure optimal implant placement and predictable results. We'll guide you through every step of the process, from initial consultation to your final, beautiful restoration.
Benefits of Dental Implants
Your Treatment Journey
Free Initial Consultation
We'll assess your suitability for implants, discuss your goals, take X-rays, and explain the process and costs with no obligation.
Comprehensive Treatment Planning
Using 3D CT scans, we'll create a detailed treatment plan, determining the optimal position for your implant and planning the final restoration.
Implant Placement Surgery
Under local anaesthetic (sedation available), the titanium implant is precisely placed into your jawbone. This procedure is usually more comfortable than expected.
Healing Period (Osseointegration)
Over 3-6 months, the implant fuses with your jawbone, creating a strong, stable foundation. You'll have a temporary restoration if needed.
Abutment Placement
Once healed, a small connector piece (abutment) is attached to the implant, which will hold your final crown.
Final Crown Fitting
Your custom-made crown is created and fitted, perfectly matching your natural teeth. We'll make any final adjustments for optimal comfort and aesthetics.
Frequently Asked Questions
Most healthy adults with sufficient jawbone are suitable for implants. Factors like gum disease, smoking, and certain medical conditions may need addressing first. We offer free consultations to assess your suitability and discuss any concerns.
With proper care and regular dental checkups, dental implants can last a lifetime. The crown on top may need replacing after 10-15 years due to normal wear, but the implant itself typically remains permanently integrated with the bone.
The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic, so you won't feel pain during surgery - just some pressure and vibration. Most patients report the procedure was more comfortable than expected. Post-surgery discomfort is usually mild and manageable with standard painkillers for a few days.
A single dental implant including the crown typically ranges from 2,000 to 3,000 depending on complexity. While the initial cost is higher than alternatives, implants often prove more economical long-term as they can last a lifetime and don't require replacing adjacent teeth.
If you've experienced bone loss, you may still be a candidate for implants. We offer bone grafting procedures to build up the jawbone before implant placement. Alternative implant techniques may also be suitable in some cases.
Care for implants just like natural teeth - brush twice daily, floss or use interdental brushes around the implant, and attend regular hygiene appointments. The crown itself cannot decay, but keeping the gum tissue healthy around it is essential.
Yes, implants can replace a single tooth, multiple teeth, or even a full arch. Implant-supported bridges can replace several teeth without needing an implant for each tooth. All-on-4 techniques can restore a full arch with just four implants.
Implants preserve jawbone, don't damage adjacent teeth, are more comfortable and natural-feeling, and typically last longer than alternatives. They're the closest thing to having your natural teeth back and offer the best long-term value.
