Dental Implants

At our Manchester Dental clinic we offer a permanent solution for your missing teeth. Our Resident Specialist Dr Rob Adams is one of the most experienced surgeons in the whole of the UK having placed over 3000 implants. We can help replace single missing teeth, many missing teeth with bridges or replace old loose dentures with dental implant dentures. We can make dentures which fit on dental implants making them very tight so you can eat whatever you want and look amazing.

A dental implant is essentially a substitute for a natural root and commonly it is screw or cylinder shaped. Each implant is placed into a socket carefully drilled at the precise location of the intended tooth. Often the implant can be placed at the same time as removal of the tooth all on the same day.

If an implant has a screw-thread on its outer surface it can be screwed into position and if it does not, it is usually tapped into place. The main aim during installation of any implant is to achieve immediate close contact with the surrounding bone. This creates an initial stability, which over time is steadily enhanced by further growth of bone into microscopic roughnesses on the implant surface.
