We can lose teeth for a number of reasons; including an accident or facial impact, infection, or due to poor oral health or tooth decay. Dental implants are an aesthetically pleasing, permanent alternative to teeth replacement treatments like dentures, which can be uncomfortable and socially awkward. We use dental implants to replace a single tooth and multiple teeth, and we can even replace a full set of teeth to complete your smile using the innovative All-on-4 and All-on-6 dental implant techniques.
The All-on-4 and All-on-6 techniques are a new and innovative approach that secures a full arch of artificial teeth in the jaw without the need for individual screws.
The process involves the use of either four or six strategically placed implants which form a stable and sturdy base for the arch of false teeth to be attached to. The procedure uses state-of-the-art technology such as 3D X-rays and surgical planning software to ensure absolute precision and accuracy, which also means it can be a quick treatment, so you don’t have to spend hours in the dental chair.
Our dental implant patients are consulted on a one-on-one basis to ensure you’re fully aware of what the procedure involves, give you comprehensive information on the benefits of dental implants, and provide you with support and guidance to help you to make the right decision for your oral health and dental care.
The first step is to give our patients a full clinical mouth examination to assess your overall oral health, where we’ll check that there’s enough bone remaining for your implant, your mouth is healthy, and that you’re ready to have your implant.
After your examination, we’ll provide you with a comprehensive outline of the proposed treatment, full cost, and go through any questions you might have so you can make the most informed choice for your treatment.
Our experienced dental technician will prepare a digital mock-up of your teeth after treatment based on your treatment plan, so you can get a good idea of what your new smile will look like with your replacement teeth. We’ll also schedule your future appointments.
At this appointment, the dental implant will be gently placed into the bone, which can take between 3–6 months to heal. If the implant is to be loaded with a false tooth or bridge immediately, a temporary crown can be fitted on the same day.
If the dental implants haven’t been loaded immediately, the next stage is for the dental implants to be uncovered and impressions taken, so the dental technician can construct a custom-made post for your dental crown, bridge, or denture.
For single crowns and bridges, temporary crowns are normally used to ensure that the correct gum profile has been created for the best possible aesthetic result. The final implant-supported crown or bridge (artificial tooth) is fitted approximately a month later, and will leave you with a perfect new smile.
We use only the most advanced dental technology to get accurate, detailed impressions of your teeth and gums, for more precise treatment and better results.
Our specialist CBCT scanner generates 3D images of dental structures, soft tissues, nerve paths, and bone in the face; much more detailed than what we can get from a traditional X-ray. This means we can more precisely plan your treatment, and all our dental implant treatments can be provided in-house, without the need to go to a hospital or a third-party lab for analysis.
With the use of an advanced state-of-the-art intraoral scanner, we’ve moved away from the traditional dental tray and putty method of getting teeth impressions, which can create discomfort, gagging, and an overall unpleasant experience for patients. The intraoral scanner allows us to get extremely accurate teeth impressions and more accurately plan your treatment.
This patient had failing upper teeth which required removal and were causing him pain. He wanted teeth that were supported by implants to restore his smile and to allow him to chew and eat without any concern. We provided him with a Full Mouth Bridge of twelve teeth on six implants. The patient was delighted with the result and achieved his desired outcome of being able to chew and eat as normal.
This patient came in with ill-fitting upper and lower dentures, and she was unhappy with their overall appearance, coupled with the fact that she was unable to chew effectively. Her new upper and lower overdentures grip onto her implants, providing excellent aesthetics and vastly improved function. This allowed the patient to have a more natural bite and to chew effectively like she would with natural teeth. She loves her elegant and natural looking smile and is very thrilled with the outcome.
This patient had poorly fitted upper and lower full dentures. He could not eat as the lower denture was very loose. With a new lower implant retained denture, he now has a denture with vastly improved function and a new smile. The aesthetics are excellent, as is his new bite.
This patient had seven missing teeth and wanted to refrain from wearing a denture. We put a temporary bridge in place which allowed us to make sure it was the right look for her and to check her bite. 10 years later, the outcome remains excellent, showing off a natural gum line and a smile that the patient was delighted with.
This patient had a single missing tooth that needed replacement. After inserting a temporary tooth for us to assess the look and bite of the replacement, we were able to give her a new smile, showing off the natural look she was hoping for. It’s almost impossible to tell she’s had a dental implant fitted.
Both techniques are used to replace a full arch of missing teeth. All-on-4 uses four implants, while All-on-6 uses six for added stability. The choice depends on your oral health, bone density, and clinical needs—your dentist will advise you on the best solution.
Healing typically takes between 3 to 6 months, depending on your bone health and whether bone grafting was required. In some cases, a temporary crown or bridge can be placed on the same day for immediate aesthetics and function.
Everything can be done in-house at Hilton Dental Clinic. We use advanced technology including CBCT scans and intraoral scanners to plan and deliver your entire implant treatment without the need for referrals to external hospitals or labs.
Includes a comprehensive dental exam, X-rays, and a routine hygiene clean performed by the dentist. A great way to get started on your journey to a healthier smile.
