A lasting solution to restore your smile
Dental implants provide a reliable, long-term way to replace missing teeth with a solution that looks and feels like your natural teeth. At Oswyn House Dental Practice, we use Straumann™ implants — a world-renowned brand known for their exceptional quality and durability.
An implant consists of a titanium post carefully placed into the jawbone, creating a stable foundation for crowns, bridges, or dentures. This mimics the function of a natural tooth root, helping you chew, speak, and smile confidently again.
Our skilled team ensures a precise, comfortable process tailored to your needs, delivering lasting results.

Initial Consultation & Assessment
At your first visit, we’ll assess your oral health, take digital scans or X-rays, and discuss your smile goals. This helps us confirm if implants are right for you.
3.
Treatment Planning & Smile Preview
We create a tailored treatment plan. In some cases, we provide a digital smile preview or a model from our lab so you can see the expected outcome before treatment begins.
4.
Implant Placement
The titanium implant (a small post that replaces the tooth root) is placed gently into the jawbone under local anaesthetic or sedation if required. This provides a strong, secure foundation for your new tooth.
5.
Healing & Integration
Over the next few months, the implant naturally fuses with your jawbone in a process called osseointegration. During this time, we can provide a temporary tooth if needed.
6.
Abutment & Crown Placement
Once healing is complete, a connector (abutment) is attached to the implant, and your custom-made crown, bridge, or denture is fitted. This restoration is designed to look and feel like a natural tooth.
7.
Final Checks & Smile Reveal
We make sure everything is comfortable, functional, and beautiful. Your new smile is now ready to enjoy.
8.
Ongoing Care & Maintenance
We’ll provide guidance on caring for your implant and invite you for regular check-ups and hygiene visits to ensure long-term success.
Your frequently asked questions
With proper care, dental implants can last 25 years or more, often lasting a lifetime.
From placement to final restoration, the process typically takes several months to allow healing and integration with the bone.
Costs vary depending on the number of implants and complexity. We’ll provide a detailed estimate during your consultation.
The placement is done under local anaesthetic, so it’s generally comfortable. Some swelling or mild discomfort may occur during healing.
Most healthy adults with sufficient jawbone density are suitable candidates. Your dentist will assess your individual case.
A dental bridge is supported by existing teeth or implants, while a dental implant is a stand-alone replacement secured directly into the jawbone. Your dentist will recommend the best option based on your needs.
