Losing a tooth can be a distressing experience, particularly if the gap is near the front of the mouth and is visible when you laugh or speak. There are several treatment options available if you have missing teeth, ranging from partial dentures and bridges to expert, long-lasting dental implants in Shrewsbury.
Dental implants are titanium replacements for natural tooth roots. Once placed in the jawbone, they fuse with the bone through a process called osseointegration, creating a stable foundation for a crown, bridge, or denture. They not only restore function and aesthetics but also prevent the bone loss that can occur after tooth loss.
Implants can support a single crown, multiple teeth, or even a full denture. Fixed implant-supported dentures offer greater comfort and confidence compared to removable options, improving your ability to eat, speak, and laugh freely.

The procedure is usually simple and pain-free. After an initial implant consultation with our dentist in Shrewsbury, impressions are taken for planning. The implant is placed into a carefully prepared socket and left to heal for several weeks. During this time, the bone integrates with the implant for lasting stability. Once healed, a crown or other restoration is attached, creating a permanent and natural-looking result.
Dental implants have a success rate of around 95%, making them one of the most reliable long-term treatments available. In the rare event that an implant fails to integrate, we offer a free replacement. We also strongly recommend that patients stop smoking during treatment to support healing and implant success.
