Dental implants, commonly referred to as screw-in teeth, are a solution for replacing missing teeth. They involve the insertion of a small titanium implant into the jawbone, which serves as a secure foundation for crowns, bridges, and dentures.
Comfortable and functional alternative to dentures
Improve the aesthetics of your smile and your facial structure
A dental implant is an artificial replacement for the root of a tooth using a titanium screw. This integrates with bone providing a solid foundation for a new tooth. Once the implant has fused with the jaw bone, a crown or denture can be fixed in place, functioning like a natural tooth.
Missing, chipped and loose teeth can cause issueswith self-consciousness and self-confidence, but they can also cause functional issues, making it difficult to eat or speak comfortably.
Edgbaston Smile's Dentists are highly experienced and skilled at providing the highest quality dental implants.
What are the Benefits of Dental Implants in Birmingham?
Comfortable Alternative to Dentures
Dental implants offer unmatched stability and eliminating the need for adhesives. These implants integrate with your jawbone, essentially becoming a natural part of your oral structure. As a result, you can enjoy the confidence of a complete smile that looks and feels natural.
Chew and Eat Food Easily
Dental implants allow you to chew your food with ease. The titanium tooth root of the implant is exceptionally strong and stable, enabling you to bite into your meals just like you would with natural teeth.
Look Younger
By stimulating the bone and maintaining facial structure through the process of osseointegration, implants help delay the signs of aging, enhancing your overall facial aesthetics.
Long Lasting
With proper care, dental implants can be a permanent solution for missing teeth as they integrate with the bone. In contrast, traditional bridges and dentures are less stable, have a shorter lifespan of less than 10 years, and require more maintenance.
Versatile
Replace just one tooth, or multiple teeth with numerous treatment options and implant configurations available. We offer All-on-Four treatment to replace a full arch of missing teeth at a lower price.
Convenience and Hygeine
Dental implants eliminate the inconvenience of removing dentures for cleaning or soaking. You can maintain your oral hygiene routine just like you would with natural teeth, reducing the risk of gum irritation and other issues associated with dentures.

Team
Our Expert Dental Implants Team
Dental Implants at Edgbaston Smile are performed by our cosmetic and implant dentist, Dr Suraj Dhanda.
Dr Suraj qualified from Manchester Dental Hospital in 2009 and completed his vocational training in his home town of Wolverhampton. Since then, he has worked in both Private and NHS practice, becoming Principal Dentist at his own practice. He has completed further training in advanced dental implant techniques and bone grafting, advanced restorative dentistry, and adult braces and teeth straightening, and is currently working towards completing his MSc in Dental Implants.
A dental implant is an artificial replacement for a teeth that are missing because of gum disease, trauma or tooth decay. They can even replace teeth that have been missing since birth. A dental implant is comprised of a titanium screw which fixes to you jaw bone, replacing the root of your tooth. A crown is added to the implant, matching your other teeth. Multiple implants can provide support and stability for bridges and other dentures.
How long does treatment take?
During your consultation, your dentist will discuss multiple treatment options with you. You may be suitable for a Teeth in a Day treatment, which means your implant and crown can be placed into your mouth in the same procedure. However, you may need to have delayed loading, meaning the implant is left to heal for between 3 and 6 months. After healing the crown is then placed onto the healed dental implant.
Why replace missing teeth with a dental implant?
Traditionally, missing teeth would be treated with either bridges or dentures. Bridges, unless positioned between multiple implants, involve drilling into healthy teeth for stability. Dentures can be uncomfortable and cause difficult eating. Dental implants are much more securely fitted into your mouth, functioning in the same way as a natural tooth. This offers a stable, permanent and aesthetic solution which integrates with your existing teeth and maintains jaw and teeth health.
Are dental implants safe?
Implants are a safe and predictable way to replace missing teeth, as long as you see a qualified and experienced dentist for your treatment. Dental implants have been in use for more than 30 years. They are normally made from titanium, a material that is accepted by your body and serves as a strong foundation for replacement teeth. Your natural bone will fuse with the implant, locking it into place, giving replacement teeth the stability and strength to function like regular teeth.
What are the risks of dental implants?
Dental implant surgery, like any surgical procedure, carries potential health risks. However, these risks are uncommon and typically minor, with straightforward treatment options available. The potential risks include:
Infection at the site of the implant
Injury or harm to adjacent structures, such as blood vessels or other teeth
Nerve damage that may result in discomfort, numbness, or tingling sensations in your gums, natural teeth, lips, or chin
Sinus complications, in cases where upper jaw dental implants extend into a sinus cavity.
How long do dental implants last?
You should look after your implants like normal teeth, and go for regular maintenance with a dental hygienist. In this case, with the right care, dental implants should last just as long as natural teeth.
How painful is getting a dental implant?
This treatment is performed either under local anaesthetic or sedation, so you will not feel any pain during or shortly after the procedure. You may feel some discomfort while the anaesthetic wears off, but this can be easily soothed with painkillers.
Are dental implants right for me?
Everyone is different and will have different dental needs. Your dentist will be able to provide a thorough assessment to determine the best treatment for you.
