There is a solution to missing teeth and also loose dentures. Dental implants
dental implants have been around for over 50 years and with a very high success rate. there is an increased demand from the public as more and more people become aware of what is possible and how they can be done.
Here are a few frequently asked questions and answers
What is a dental implant?
A dental implant is a titanium post which can be inserted into the bone and once integrated into the bone you can have a crown or a bridge placed on top or even have dentures on top.
Can anyone have Dental Implant?
Most people can although a careful assessment needs to be undertaken to assess the level of bone as the implant is placed in bone if you have adequate bone and also no medical reasons then you will mostly likely be suitable
Does it involve surgery and does it hurt?
the implant is placed in bone and the gum does need to be push back although this can be done under local anaesthetic or if your a little concerned then sedation can be provided which helps you to relax. After the procedure it can be a little uncomfortable although in most cases painkillers can be taken to relieve this
How much is it ?
the investment in an implant is from £1900 per tooth although this is dependant upon the individual situation can vary depending upon the bone levels
when can I have it done ?
We can work around your schedule just let us know the best time although you maybe best to take a day off on the placement
can it make my denture more stable?
Yes in some situations when you have a loose lower denture two implants can be placed and then denture can then have clips which clip on to the denture which can make it more stable. So id you suffer from loose denture which move around when your talking or eating then this would be an ideal solution for you.

I have always wanted to have straighter teeth. However, I was never prepared to wear a brace for a long period of time.
After hearing that Lifestyle dental had various options for straighter teeth I decided to book an appointment.
The treatment has been really fantastic. At the begining, I have to admit I was fairly skeptical that the treatment would be finished within the time frame I wanted.
Lifestyle Dental is without a doubt the most professional dentists I have ever visited!
Towards the end of my treatment many of my friends and family asked which dentist I was currently with and asked me for thier website address and phone numebr. I would most definetly recommend this dentist to others

Dental x-rays produce a low level of radiation and are safe. We take necessary precautions to limit the exposure to radiation when taking dental x-rays, including using modern, fast film that cuts down the exposure time of each x-ray. Most of our x-rays are taken digitally, which further decreases the exposure to radiation.
We are all exposed to natural radiation in our environment. The amount of radiation exposure from a full mouth series of x-rays is equal to the amount a person receives in a single day from natural sources.
I am putting this question out there into the web 2.0. If you had the possibility to change things at the dentist to improve your experience what would you do?
