Overview

Planned in 3D, placed with precision

A dental implant replaces the root of a missing tooth and supports a natural-looking crown, bridge or full arch of teeth.

Chris plans every implant using a 3D scan and a CBCT, then places it with a 3D-printed surgical guide. This means the implant goes exactly where it was planned, for strength, appearance and long-term gum health.

FAQs

Common questions

Can't see your question? Call 0191 549 8888.

Does implant treatment hurt?

Treatment is carried out under local anaesthetic, and most patients find it easier than they expected. Mild discomfort for a few days afterwards is usually managed with simple painkillers.

How long does it take?

Typically 3 to 6 months from placement to your final tooth. If bone grafting is needed, allow a few months more.

How long do implants last?

With good home care and regular maintenance visits, implants can last for many years. Regular reviews are the key to long-term success.

What if I don't have enough bone?

Bone grafting can often rebuild the area so an implant can be placed. Chris will explain the options after your CBCT scan.

How much do implants cost?

After your consultation you will receive a written, itemised treatment plan so you know the costs before you commit.
