Dental Implants in Croydon
A Permanent Solution to Restore Your Smile
At The Fine Tooth Company, we specialise in providing dental implants as a permanent, effective solution for replacing missing teeth. Whether you need to replace a single tooth or an entire set of teeth, dental implants offer a reliable, durable, and natural-looking solution that restores both the function and appearance of your smile.
- Single Tooth Implants: A single implant is used to replace one missing tooth, providing a natural appearance and excellent functionality.
- Multiple Implants: Multiple implants can replace several missing teeth, restoring your smile’s full function.
- Full Arch Implants: For patients missing an entire set of teeth, full arch implants can be used to replace the full upper or lower set of teeth.
- Permanent Solution: Dental implants are designed to be a long-term solution for missing teeth, lasting 10-15 years or more with proper care.
- Improved Functionality: Unlike removable dentures, dental implants are securely anchored into the jawbone, allowing you to chew, speak, and smile without restrictions.
- Natural Appearance: The implanted tooth closely resembles a natural tooth, ensuring that it blends seamlessly with your other teeth.
- Bone Preservation: Since dental implants stimulate the jawbone just like natural teeth, they help preserve bone density and prevent bone loss, which can occur with traditional bridges or dentures.
- No Impact on Adjacent Teeth: Unlike bridges, dental implants do not require the adjacent teeth to be filed down, preserving the integrity of your surrounding teeth.
Consultation and Assessment
During your initial consultation, our expert dentists will assess your oral health, medical history, and goals. We’ll determine if dental implants are the right solution for you. We may also use 3D imaging and digital scans to plan your treatment.
Implant Placement Surgery
In collaboration with our in-house oral and maxillofacial surgeon, we will place the implant into your jawbone. The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia to ensure your comfort.
Healing and Osseointegration
After the implant is placed, it will undergo a process called osseointegration, where the implant fuses with the jawbone over several months. During this time, the bone heals around the implant, providing a strong foundation.
Abutment Placement
Once osseointegration is complete, a small connector piece called an abutment is placed on top of the implant, which will hold the crown or restoration.
Crown or Restoration Placement
Finally, a custom-made crown, bridge, or full arch restoration is attached to the abutment. We ensure that the restoration matches the colour, shape, and size of your natural teeth for a seamless, beautiful smile.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. How long do dental implants last?
Dental implants can last 10-15 years or longer with proper care and maintenance, making them a long-term solution for missing teeth.
2. Is the dental implant procedure painful?
The procedure is performed under local anaesthesia, so you won’t feel any pain during the surgery. Some mild discomfort may occur afterward, but this can be managed with pain medication.
3. How long does the dental implant process take?
The process typically takes several months due to the healing time required for osseointegration (when the implant fuses with the bone). However, the treatment is well worth the wait for a permanent, secure solution.
4. Can I get dental implants if I’ve lost a lot of bone?
Yes, if you’ve experienced bone loss, we offer dental bone grafting to rebuild the bone and provide a stable foundation for the implant.
5. Are dental implants covered by insurance?
Dental implants are often not fully covered by insurance, but many plans provide partial coverage. We recommend checking with your insurance provider for details.
6. Are dental implants better than dentures?
Dental implants offer a more permanent, comfortable, and natural-looking solution compared to dentures. They are more durable, help preserve bone structure, and do not require removal for cleaning.
