Missing teeth can affect much more than your smile. They can make it harder to eat comfortably, speak clearly, and feel confident in everyday situations. At Church Street Dental Centre in Wincanton, we offer dental implants as a reliable, natural-looking solution to replace one or more missing teeth and help restore your oral health.
At Church Street Dental Centre in Wincanton, we combine extensive implant experience with advanced digital technology to carefully plan and deliver your treatment.
Dental implants are designed to look, feel, and function like natural teeth. They provide a secure, long-lasting alternative to dentures and bridges, allowing you to smile, eat, and speak with confidence once again.
A dental implant is a small titanium post that is carefully placed into the jawbone to act as an artificial tooth root. Over time, the implant fuses with the surrounding bone, creating a strong foundation for a replacement tooth, bridge, or denture.
A complete dental implant restoration usually consists of:
The result is a replacement tooth that blends naturally with your smile.
Experience you can trust
Dental implant treatment requires careful planning, experience and attention to detail. Simon has more than 20 years’ experience in dental implants, bringing a wealth of knowledge and clinical expertise to every case.
Every patient is different, which is why we take the time to understand your needs, assess your individual circumstances and discuss the most appropriate treatment options with you.
Our approach is focused on achieving a result that looks natural, functions comfortably and is designed to provide a long-term solution for your smile.
Digital Technology for More Precise Implant Treatment
We’ve invested in advanced digital technology to help us plan your implant treatment carefully and accurately.
Our KaVo 3D CBCT scanner gives us a detailed 3D view of your teeth, jaw and surrounding structures. We can combine this with digital scans from our TRIOS scanner to create an accurate model of your mouth and plan the ideal position for your implant before treatment begins.
Where appropriate, our SprintRay Pro 3D printer allows us to create personalised surgical guides in-house, helping us place implants as precisely as possible.
Our digital approach can mean more accurate planning, fewer traditional impressions, clearer explanations and a more comfortable and predictable experience.
By combining Simon’s experience in implant dentistry with advanced digital technology, we can create a treatment plan that is carefully tailored to you.
At Church Street Dental Centre, we understand that every patient is unique. Your treatment will be carefully planned to suit your individual needs.
Consultation and Assessment
We begin by listening to your concerns and understanding what you would like to achieve. We assess your teeth, gums and overall oral health and discuss whether implants are suitable for you.
Digital planning
Where appropriate, we use 3D CBCT imaging, digital intraoral scanning and digital implant planning to create a detailed picture of your mouth and carefully plan your treatment.
Implant Placement
Once your treatment has been planned, the implant is placed into the jawbone under local anaesthetic. Where appropriate, a bespoke 3D-printed surgical guide may be used to help achieve accurate implant positioning.
Healing Period
Over the following weeks and months, the implant integrates with the jawbone in a process known as osseointegration.
Final Restoration
Once healing is complete, your custom-made crown, bridge, or denture is attached to the implant, restoring both function and appearance.
Dental implants offer many advantages over other tooth replacement options, including:
Many patients find that implants become so comfortable they forget they are not natural teeth.
Dental implants may be suitable if you:
Even if you have been told previously that you are not suitable for implants, modern techniques may provide additional options. We can discuss these with you during your consultation.
Whether you have lost one tooth or need to replace an entire arch of teeth, dental implants can provide a stable foundation for a range of restorations.
A single implant can replace one missing tooth without relying on the neighbouring teeth for support.
A small titanium implant is placed into the jawbone and, once healed, supports a custom-made crown designed to blend naturally with your existing teeth. This can restore your ability to eat and speak comfortably while providing a natural-looking result.
If you have several missing teeth next to one another, an implant-supported bridge can replace multiple teeth using fewer implants than would be needed for individual replacements.
The implants provide a stable foundation for the bridge, helping to restore both function and appearance without the need to use healthy neighbouring teeth as supports.
If you wear dentures but find that they move, feel loose or make eating and speaking difficult, implant-stabilised dentures may provide a more secure alternative.
Dental implants are used to anchor the denture in place, helping to improve stability and confidence while retaining the convenience of a removable denture.
For patients who have lost most or all of their teeth in an arch, full-arch implant treatment can provide a fixed replacement for a complete set of teeth.
A number of strategically positioned implants are used to support a full arch of replacement teeth. This can offer improved stability, function and confidence compared with conventional removable dentures.
Your suitability for each option will depend on your individual oral health, bone levels, general health and treatment goals. We will discuss the options with you following a detailed assessment.
We believe it is important that you have a clear understanding of the investment involved before starting treatment.
The final cost of your treatment will depend on your individual needs and the type and complexity of treatment required. We will provide you with a personalised treatment plan and discuss the costs with you before proceeding.
We also offer finance options to help spread the cost of treatment, subject to eligibility and approval.
