What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed in the jawbone to serve as artificial tooth roots. These permanent anchors provide a stable foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel, and function just like natural teeth.
Unlike traditional dentures or bridges, implants don't rely on adjacent teeth for support and help preserve jawbone structure, preventing the bone loss that typically occurs after tooth loss. They offer the most permanent and natural solution for missing teeth.
At The Finchley Dentist, implant treatment is planned and restored with our in-house prosthodontist, a specialist in replacing missing teeth. Before recommending implants we assess your gum health, bite and bone levels using 3D CBCT imaging. This lets us plan the position of each implant precisely and identify whether bone grafting or a sinus lift is needed first.
Implants can replace a single tooth, support a bridge where several teeth are missing, or anchor a full arch of teeth. Where an extraction is needed beforehand, this can be carried out as part of your oral surgery care. Where a tooth can still be saved, we will always discuss root canal treatment as an alternative.

Dental Implants FAQs
Can dental implants replace several missing teeth at once?
Yes, dental implants can replace multiple missing teeth using implant-supported bridges or full-arch implant solutions. The number of implants required depends on your oral health, jawbone condition and the number and position of missing teeth. The Finchley Dentist offers personalised implant treatment plans to restore chewing function and the appearance of your smile.
What happens if I do not have enough jawbone for dental implants?
If your jawbone lacks sufficient volume or density to support dental implants, bone grafting may help rebuild the area before implant placement. For some patients, a sinus lift may also be recommended when replacing upper back teeth. Your dentist will assess your jawbone using dental imaging and determine whether additional procedures are necessary.
How long does it take for a dental implant to heal before the replacement tooth is fitted?
Dental implant healing typically takes around three to six months, allowing the implant to integrate with the surrounding jawbone. The exact timeline depends on your bone quality, general health and whether additional procedures are required. Once healing is satisfactory, your dentist can fit the final crown, bridge or other restoration.
How should I clean and maintain dental implants?
Dental implants need daily care to keep the surrounding gums healthy and reduce the risk of peri-implant disease. Brush twice daily with a soft-bristled toothbrush, clean between your teeth and around the implants using suitable interdental brushes or floss, and attend regular dental check-ups and professional cleaning appointments. Your dentist can recommend a maintenance routine suited to your restoration.
Are dental implants better than dentures or dental bridges?
Dental implants can provide a stable, fixed replacement for missing teeth without relying on neighbouring teeth for support. Unlike conventional removable dentures, implant-supported teeth are anchored in the jawbone and can improve chewing stability. However, bridges and dentures may be more suitable for some patients depending on their oral health, treatment preferences and budget. A dental consultation can help you compare the options.
