The experts in dental implants in Nottingham; we offer both single and multiple implant options to replace your damaged, decaying, or missing teeth at Hilton Dental Clinic.
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 both single and multiple teeth.
A single tooth replacement is a fairly straightforward procedure, using a dental implant to complete your smile.
A dental implant looks like a small screw – made from titanium – which is securely fused into the precise position of the missing tooth and acts as a ‘root’ to hold a false tooth or crown in place. Once fitted, the implant will provide long-term support for your new replacement tooth which will be colour and shade matched to your natural teeth.
If you’ve lost multiple teeth, you may be wearing a denture or partial denture.
It’s no secret that dentures can cause discomfort, difficulty eating, and embarrassment in social situations, but you don’t have to eat soft foods or wear dentures for the rest of your life! Replacing multiple teeth is similar to the procedure to replace just one, and in some cases, we can even replace multiple teeth with just one implant which can support a bridge of up to four teeth in a row.
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.
I have completed a rigorous two year training programme in Implant Dentistry at the Royal College of Surgeons of England, the gold standard qualification in this field. I was further awarded the advanced certificate in Implant Surgery in recognition of my additional surgical skills in block bone and maxillary sinus grafting (making it possible for implants to be placed in areas where there has been extensive bone loss after tooth removal). I am one of only a handful of Dentists to have received this recognition in the UK. As a leading provider of dental implants in Nottingham I accept referrals for dental implant treatment and am a clinical coach, training and helping other Dentists to develop their dentistry skills in the area of Dental Implants.
“Dental implants are a very good solution for missing teeth, they have over the years superseded more traditional treatments which include dentures, which is something that you have to remove, which a lot of people don’t like and they would like fixed treatment options.”
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.
A dental implant is a small titanium screw that replaces the root of a missing tooth. It is placed into the jawbone and, once healed, supports a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture to restore your smile and bite function.
Most adults in good health are suitable candidates for dental implants. You’ll need healthy gums and sufficient bone density in your jaw. During your initial consultation, we’ll carry out a full examination and 3D scan to assess your suitability.
Unlike removable dentures, dental implants are fixed in place, feel more like natural teeth, and don’t slip or cause discomfort. They help preserve bone, maintain facial structure, and offer a long-lasting, natural-looking solution for missing teeth.
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.
