Same Day Implant Full Loading Services
“After a long history of dental complication, resulting from a childhood accident. I finally have a permanent set of fixed implants that not only feel strong and correct in my mouth, they also look great, just like a fine set of healthy teeth.
Thank you to all the team for their hard work and dedication.”
Dan Cooper 2019 4 years post treatment
The most fashionable solution for the replacement of missing roots and teeth are the dental implant crown, known as an ‘implant’.
Ideal for the loss of individual teeth or an entire set, an implant enables the perfect restoration of the mouth to its natural look, feel and working function; perhaps even better than the original, bringing a new confidence, chewing ability and improved overall health.
Implants are the best alternative for:
- Missing or failing teeth
- Loose dentures
- Gums with infection that have caused failing teeth
- Implants can hold a single tooth or multiple teeth
Our expert clinicians implant a titanium post or the latest ceramic post into the old root site making a new artificial root. We then handcrafted a ceramic crown becoming replacement tooth, this is then attached to the implant by a screw or a cushioning cement.
With the Same-Day Treatment, the artificial implant root is only used on that day if the implant is properly supported by the bone on surgical placement. This results in minimal trauma to the tissue, creating the best long-term healthy outcome with maximum non-traumatised healthy capillary blood supply.

Patients coming to us for dental implants; will have a thorough treatment plan drawn up, with impressions taken alongside the necessary scans. Our state-of-the-art 3D imaging machine will guarantee absolute precision. How you feel as a patient is our absolute priority, so rest assured you are in the safest hands.

Recommended Patient Journey for Diagnosis
- Decide on a comprehensive or single tooth diagnosis approach, as it can be as simple as an x-ray( recommend a Dental MOT)
- Diagnose how much bone and what quality bone you have remaining and how many teeth it is best to replace in that bone
- Decide on how best to harvest and save your bone without bone grafting prior to having a failing tooth extracted
- Then we calculate what load you will need to carry on your newly proposed tooth treatment using simple dental design principles
- Decide on a treatment program to stage your budget to achieve your chosen dental goal
- Recommended to have back teeth replaced first so carrying the working load away from your front teeth
- Lack of back tooth support will always need to be monitored more carefully as teeth can move and drop if they are left freestanding
- Plan the make of implants to best support your dental gaol, a key factor being long-term maintenance. Ceramic Implants (made from Zirconium oxide) and metal implants called Titanium implants they have advantages and disadvantages individual to your own biology
- We then discuss if you would rather be sedated for the treatment
- The amount of time you can invest into your treatment can influence your healing time, from Same-Day Treatments to long-term healing processes (up to 6 months for the implants to take into the bone properly), these all have advantages and disadvantages
- Our principle is to save existing teeth but rid your bone of all infections, in and around the site of implant placement
Our Comprehensive Approach to True Oral Health
- A Biological Diagnosis is standard in most high street practices, we would recommend a Dental Mot
- A Functional Diagnosis will assess your jaw position relying on your existing tooth position, incorrect tooth position will carry this jaw position into a state of muscle and joint fatigue
- A patient cannot always assume they have not looked after their teeth
- If your jaw is out of line it can lead to many broken teeth and fillings, resulting in failing teeth over a period of time
- Early symptoms would be obvious signs like clicking jaw joints and morning headaches
- The strongest structure in your mouth will be your natural teeth, at best, any replacement will be reliant on a Functional Diagnosis to maximise the longevity of the tooth replacement
- This can only ever be at best 80% as strong as a natural tooth
- Implants can hold a single tooth or multiple teeth
- A Same Day Implant will hold all the contours of your gum and bone in the right place from the beginning and maximises essential blood flow around the healing implant
- A one stage surgery approach leads to the best tissue support and general oral well being
Immediate Implants, Less Time, Excellent Results!
An implant placed immediately is one surgical procedure and with the addition of localised Stem-Cell regrowth of bone and soft tissue, giving selected bone and soft tissues the quickest most pleasing recovery in days. A consideration on the Same Day Implant Treatment is dependent on how well the implant sticks to the bone on the day of placement. This is an unpredictable entity for the Practitioner.
The award winning laboratory team with the handcrafted ceramic crown is essential for this service.
