Dental implants are a stable and natural-feeling solution for replacing one or more missing teeth. At West Garden Dental in Hounslow, we provide implant treatment that restores function, confidence and the appearance of your smile. Implants act as artificial tooth roots, giving strong support to replacement teeth that look and feel like your own.
What dental implants can do
Missing teeth can make eating uncomfortable, affect speech and cause neighbouring teeth to shift. Dental implants help:
Restore chewing comfort and function
Protect surrounding teeth from moving
Support long-term jawbone health
Improve smile appearance and confidence
Implants can replace a single tooth or support multiple replacement teeth, including implant-retained bridges or dentures.
How dental implants work
1. Consultation and assessment
Your dentist assesses your oral health, takes imaging and discusses your goals. This helps determine the best implant approach for your situation.
2. Implant placement
A small titanium post is inserted into the jawbone where the missing tooth used to be. This post integrates with the bone to create a secure base.
3. Healing phase
Over several weeks, the implant bonds with the bone in a process called osseointegration. During this time, a temporary restoration may be provided.
4. Final restoration
Once healing is complete, an abutment and custom crown are attached to the implant. The result is a strong, natural replacement that matches your smile.
Benefits of dental implants
Natural look, feel and function
Strong bite force for everyday eating
Long-lasting results with good care
Preserves bone and facial structure
Feels stable without slipping like dentures
Implants offer a fixed, comfortable solution that can significantly improve quality of life compared with missing teeth or removable dentures.
Aftercare and longevity
Dental implants can last many years with good oral hygiene and regular dental visits. Brush and floss daily, avoid smoking and attend routine check ups to ensure your implant remains healthy and functional.
Your dentist will show you how to care for your implant and monitor it at hygiene appointments.
Are implants right for you
Dental implants are suitable for many patients, including those who have lost one or more teeth. Your dentist will assess your jawbone health, oral condition and personal goals before recommending the best treatment. In some cases, bone grafting may be suggested to ensure the best long-term stability.
