Restore Your Smile with Confidence
Missing teeth can affect more than just your smile – they can impact your confidence, speech, and ability to enjoy your favourite foods. At Pensby dental practice, we offer high-quality dental implants to help you reclaim your smile.
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are a great solution for replacing missing teeth. They consist of a small titanium screw placed into the jawbone, which acts as an artificial tooth root. Once healed, a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture is attached to restore the appearance and function of your tooth.
Why Choose Dental Implants?
● Fixed solution - No dentures
● Natural look and feel – Designed to match your existing teeth.
● Improved function – Eat, speak, and smile with ease.
● Preserve jawbone – Helps prevent bone loss that occurs with missing teeth.
● No damage to surrounding teeth – Unlike traditional bridges.
What to Expect
1. Consultation & Planning – We assess your oral health, discuss your goals, and create a personalised treatment plan.
2. Implant Placement – A minor surgical procedure under local anaesthetic, usually carried out without the need for sedation.
3. Healing Period – Time for the implant to integrate with the bone (usually a few months).
4. Restoration – A custom-made crown, bridge or denture is fitted for a seamless smile.
Dental Bridges
A dental bridge is a reliable and natural-looking way to replace missing teeth by using the teeth on either side of the gap for support. Bridges can restore your ability to bite and chew comfortably, maintain the shape of your face, and prevent remaining teeth from drifting out of position.
Tooth supported Bridges
A bridge is made up of one or more prosthetic teeth anchored in place by crowns fitted onto the natural teeth adjacent to the gap. These supporting teeth are carefully prepared to hold the bridge securely.
Bridges are custom-made in a dental laboratory to ensure a precise fit and a highly natural appearance, blending seamlessly with your surrounding teeth.
Benefits of a Dental Bridge
● Restores the appearance and function of your smile
● Prevents remaining teeth from shifting
● Supports facial structure and speech
● A fixed, stable solution — no need for removal
● Long-lasting results with good oral hygiene and regular dental care
Is a Bridge Right for Me?
Implant-Supported Bridges
For some patients, an implant-supported tooth or bridge may be recommended. Instead of relying on natural teeth for support, dental implants are placed into the jawbone to securely anchor the bridge. This option can be particularly beneficial if the teeth next to the gap are not strong enough for crowns, or if you prefer not to have healthy teeth adjusted.
Implant-supported bridges are highly stable, preserve bone structure, and can offer a longer-term solution in certain cases.
Which Option is Right for You?
At your consultation, we will carefully assess your oral health, bone levels, and overall goals. We'll discuss whether a traditional bridge or an implant-supported bridge would best suit your needs, and talk you through all the available options so you can make an informed choice.
Dental Bridges – FAQ's
Is a dental bridge better than a dental implant?
It depends on your specific needs. A bridge is often a good choice if the neighbouring teeth already need crowns. However, an implant-supported bridge avoids placing crowns on natural teeth and helps maintain bone in the jaw over time. We'll help guide you through the best option for you.
Does getting a bridge hurt?
The procedure is carried out under local anaesthetic, so you shouldn’t feel any pain during the treatment. Some mild sensitivity or discomfort afterward is normal and usually settles quickly.
How do I look after a dental bridge?
You should brush twice a day, clean under the bridge daily (using special floss or brushes), and attend regular dental check-ups and hygiene appointments. We'll show you exactly how to care for your bridge to help it last as long as possible.
Dentures
Replacing missing teeth is important for maintaining your ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. At Pensby Dental Practice, we offer high-quality dentures tailored to your individual needs — whether you are replacing a few teeth or a full set.
Dentures can be made using either traditional or digital techniques, depending on what is best for each case. We will guide you through the process to achieve the most comfortable and natural result possible.
Types of Dentures
● Partial Dentures - Designed to replace one or several missing teeth, partial dentures help restore function and prevent neighbouring teeth from shifting.
● Complete Dentures - Used when all natural teeth in an arch are missing, complete dentures restore a full smile and support facial structure.
Depending on your needs, dentures may be crafted using traditional methods or advanced digital technology, allowing for improved precision, comfort, and aesthetics.
Implant-Retained Dentures
For patients looking for extra stability, implant-retained dentures are an excellent option.
These dentures are anchored to dental implants placed in the jawbone, providing a much more secure fit compared to traditional removable dentures. This added support can significantly improve confidence when eating, speaking, and smiling.
We offer a range of implant-retained denture options, which can be tailored depending on how many implants are placed and the type of attachment system used. Benefits of implant-retained dentures:
● More secure and stable fit
● Improved ability to eat and speak comfortably
● Reduced movement and rubbing compared to traditional dentures
● Help maintain bone structure in the jaw
Are Dentures Right for Me?
Dentures are a reliable and effective solution for patients who have lost one, several, or all of their natural teeth. They are particularly suitable if missing teeth are affecting your ability to eat comfortably, speak clearly, or feel confident in your smile.
If you are looking for a cost-effective and non-invasive option to restore function and appearance, dentures may be an ideal choice. Modern dentures are designed to look natural and fit comfortably, helping you regain everyday confidence.
For patients seeking additional stability, implant-retained dentures may also be considered, offering a more secure fit and improved performance compared to traditional removable options.
During your consultation at Pensby Dental Practice, we will assess your oral health, discuss your preferences, and recommend the most suitable solution tailored to your needs.
