What is a dental implant?
A dental implant is an artificial root made from titanium which takes the place of the original root, securely bonding with the jawbone over time.
Dental implants in South Wales are ideal for those with missing, severely damaged or discoloured teeth which can't be rejuvenated or saved with other treatment options.
Whether you're replacing a single tooth or a complete arch, dental implants offer a secure feel, just like your own, restoring both your smile, function and facial symmetry.
Not only can implants recreate natural-looking teeth, but they also safeguard your overall dental and oral health. Replacing missing teeth is extremely important, as a missing tooth can cause unwanted movement in adjacent teeth potentially leading to functional problems with the bite creating asymmetry.
How do dental implants work?
Dental implant treatment is completed by an implant surgeon. A qualified and friendly dental nurse will also be present during the surgery. They will assist your dental surgeon and ensure you have all you need to feel more relaxed during treatment.
- Pre-dental surgery
With dental implants in Monmouth, the implant area will be prepared and cleaned pre-surgery by your dental surgeon to protect your dental health and prevent infections.
Most procedures can be carried out under local anaesthesia, however sedation is offered to patients who are particularly anxious.
- The procedure
The titanium replacement root/s will be surgically placed into your jaw, where it will gradually fuse to the bone during a process called osseointegration. Then, an abutment designed to hold your new teeth is connected tothe root.
A temporary crown can be installed for the duration of the healing process.
- Post-surgery
Once the new root has fully healed, which usually takes between 3 to 6 months, your permanent artificial teeth – such as a crown or bridge – are secured
These replacement teeth are bespoke to ensure they match your natural teeth, leaving you with a beautiful, authentic-looking smile.The design process involves the dentist and technician but most importantly the patient.
Types of Dental Impants Monmouth
There are various types of dental implant options to suit individual tooth loss needs. We ONLY use market leading implants that have been verified and tested over 40 years.
- Single implants – implants can be used to replace a single tooth, restoring your smile with a single dental implant and crown.
- Multiple implants – if you have a gap from a few missing teeth, dental implants can be placed to securely fix a dental bridge in place.
- Full smile restorations – if you're missing a full arch of teeth, or the full mouth, 4 to 8 implants can be placed to securely anchor a denture to ensure that they do not slip and are comfortable.
- All-on-4 – also known as same-day teeth, All-on-4 allows more prosthetic teeth to be secured using fewer implants, and is great for patients looking for a complete transformation.These can be fitted on the same day of implant placement.
Why choose dental implants?
Crown and bridge dentistry requires grinding down healthy teeth, leaving them at a much greater risk for infection and decay.
As for dentures, they can become uncomfortable and unstable over time as the jawbone shrinks, causing eating and speech problems. Eventually progressive bone loss makes dentures impossible to wear.
With dental implants, replacement teeth are securely anchored without compromising any neighbouring healthy teeth. Dental implants, like natural teeth, stimulate the jaw and reduce bone loss.
The benefits of implants
There are several excellent advantages to dental implants in Monmouth, including:
- Implants look and feel just like natural teeth – you shouldn't notice any difference.
- Implants provide permanent stability and comfort without affecting healthy teeth.
- Implants can last for many years if you maintain good oral hygiene, making them much more cost-effective than other treatments.
- Implants prevent ageing bone loss, by stimulating your bone structure and stabilising the surrounding teeth.
Are you suitable for treatment?
Patients must have a good level of overall dental health, healthy gums and enough jawbone to support dental implants.
During your initial consultation at our dental practice, one of our specialists will use X-rays and scans to establish if pre-treatment is required.
Some patients may need to see a hygienist for a course of treatment to ensure their gums are strong and free from gum disease before the dental implant process can begin.
We'll also check that there is sufficient bone for an implant to be placed successfully – if there is insufficient bone or bone density, you may need pre-treatment before your dental implants can be placed such as bone grafting, bone expansion or sinus lifts. Often these procedures are carried out simultaneously with implant placement and don't need a donor site.

Before and after
Who is a good candidate for dental implants in South Wales?
Dental implants are an ideal solution for those suffering from missing, cracked, rotting or heavily discoloured teeth.
But before you can be booked in for treatment, our implant surgeons will ascertain that you meet the following criteria:
- Be in good overall health - those with diabetes or heart disease may need to consult with their doctor, although careful planning and management can enable those with chronic illness to receive treatment.
- Have healthy gums - if gum disease is identified during an oral inspection, a hygienist will need to treat it before dental implant treatment can start.
- Have sufficient bone density - if there’s insufficient bone to hold your implant, a bone graft, bone expansion or sinus lift will be required.
Speak to us today by calling 01600 712020 if you’re unsure whether you’re a good candidate for dental implant treatment.
How long do dental implants in Monmouth last?
Unlike many other tooth-replacement procedures, dental implants are a long-lasting solution that can last 20 years or more if cared for properly.
To keep your new implant in excellent condition for longer you should:
- Maintain a thorough oral care routine, including brushing your teeth twice a day
- Refrain from smoking, and teeth-grinding
- Visit an implant trained hygienist on a regular basis
For more guidance on dental implant care, don’t hesitate to call our team.
Is dental implant surgery painful?
As dental implants in Monmouth are surgically placed under local anaesthesia, the dental implant procedure is typically not painful.
Local anaesthesia numbs the nerves around the implant location and stops you from feeling pain during the process.
You may experience some slight discomfort after implant surgery such as bruising or swelling, although they should pass within a couple of days.
