Missing teeth occur when one or more permanent teeth are lost due to decay, gum disease, trauma, or other dental conditions. This creates visible gaps in your smile. It affects how you chew food. Speaking clearly becomes difficult. Adjacent teeth begin shifting into empty spaces, causing bite problems and potential jaw pain. The jawbone underneath starts to shrink without tooth roots to stimulate it, which can make your face appear sunken or aged.
You should seek treatment promptly after losing a tooth to prevent complications. Early intervention stops neighbouring teeth from moving out of position. It preserves your jawbone structure. Waiting too long makes treatment more complex and expensive, as bone loss progresses and surrounding teeth shift significantly.

Dental implants are designed to be a permanent solution for missing teeth. With proper care and regular dental visits, they can last 20 to 30 years or even a lifetime. The titanium implant itself rarely fails once it has integrated with your jawbone. The crown on top may need replacement after 10 to 15 years due to normal wear, but this is a simple procedure. Your success depends on maintaining excellent oral hygiene and attending regular check-ups with our specialist team. We see over 90% success rates in our patients, making implants the most reliable long-term solution for missing teeth.
Most patients are pleasantly surprised by how comfortable the implant procedure actually is. We use local anaesthesia to completely numb the area during surgery, so you won't feel any pain during the procedure itself. Many patients describe the discomfort afterwards as similar to having a tooth extracted. We also offer sedation dentistry for anxious patients to help you feel completely relaxed. After surgery, any discomfort typically lasts just a few days and responds well to over-the-counter pain relief. Our team provides detailed aftercare instructions and remains available to address any concerns during your healing period.
The cost of dental implants varies depending on your specific needs, such as the number of teeth being replaced and whether additional procedures like bone grafting are required. During your consultation, we'll provide a detailed treatment plan with transparent pricing. We understand that dental implants represent a significant investment in your health and confidence. That's why we offer flexible payment plans to spread the cost over several months. Many patients choose our interest-free finance options, which allow you to pay over 12 to 24 months without additional charges. We'll work with you to find a payment solution that fits your budget.
Age alone is rarely a barrier to dental implant treatment. We successfully place implants in patients well into their 80s and beyond. What matters most is your overall health and the condition of your jawbone, not your age. In fact, many older patients benefit tremendously from implants because they restore the ability to eat favourite foods and speak clearly. Your general health is more important than your age. Conditions like uncontrolled diabetes or heavy smoking may affect healing, but most health issues can be managed to ensure successful treatment. During your consultation, we'll assess your individual situation and discuss the best options for your circumstances.
Leaving gaps where teeth are missing can lead to several serious problems over time. Your remaining teeth will gradually shift into the empty spaces, causing bite problems and making cleaning more difficult. The jawbone where your tooth root used to be will begin to shrink away, which can change your facial appearance and make you look older. Chewing becomes less efficient, potentially affecting your nutrition and digestion. Speech may also be affected, particularly if front teeth are missing. The sooner you replace missing teeth, the better we can preserve your oral health and prevent these complications from developing.
The complete implant process typically takes three to six months from start to finish. This includes time for your jawbone to heal and integrate with the implant, a process called osseointegration. Your first appointment involves placing the titanium implant into your jawbone. After this heals for about three to four months, we attach the final crown. Some patients can receive a temporary tooth on the same day as implant placement, so you're never without a tooth. The exact timeline depends on your individual healing and whether additional procedures are needed. We'll give you a personalised treatment schedule during your consultation so you know exactly what to expect.
Insurance coverage for dental implants varies significantly between different policies and providers. Many dental insurance plans provide partial coverage for implant treatment, particularly when teeth are missing due to accident or certain medical conditions. Some policies have a \"missing tooth clause\" that excludes coverage for teeth that were already missing when you started the policy. We recommend contacting your insurance provider before treatment to understand your specific benefits. Our team can help by providing the necessary documentation and treatment codes for your claim. Even if your insurance doesn't cover the full cost, our financing options can help make treatment affordable.
Whilst missing teeth themselves aren't typically dental emergencies, certain complications can require immediate attention. Seek urgent care if you experience severe pain around the gap where a tooth was lost. Contact us immediately if you notice signs of infection such as swelling, fever, or pus discharge from the empty socket. Trauma that results in sudden tooth loss needs prompt evaluation to preserve the best treatment options.
You should also seek emergency care if adjacent teeth become loose or if you develop difficulty swallowing or breathing. Sharp bone fragments protruding from the extraction site can cause injury and require immediate removal. Persistent bleeding that won't stop with gentle pressure also warrants urgent attention.
