A Long lasting solution for missing teeth and unstable dentures
When you lose one or more teeth, it might be tempting to leave the gap untreated. However, research shows that the teeth on either side of a missing tooth are at a higher risk of decay and may eventually require additional treatment.
This happens because teeth tend to shift into the empty space, making them harder to keep clean. Our dental implants in Ripley prevent this movement and help preserve the bone structure in your mouth—offering significant long-term benefits for the health and stability of your teeth.

Frequently Asked Questions
Contrary to what you might think, conventional dentures are not always cost-effective.
The initial layout for dental implant treatment varies on how many implants are needed and if bone augmentation is required. Other factors include the surgery itself, lab work, the prosthesis and the dentist’s and dental technician’s fees.
A cost plan will be developed only when all of these aspects have been addressed, and in some cases, dental implants may be more economical in the long term.
In this time, the implant reaches the stability needed for it to bear weight like a natural tooth. As always, healing times can vary depending on the individual condition and indication.
Booking to see our hygienist- she will provide you with the skills, tools and techniques to ensure that your implant is properly cared for at home to avoid any problems. She will recommend brushes and products that will help keep the area clean as well as providing you with regular professional cleaning.
Implant retained denture wearers- we also recommend seeing one of our team yearly to check your implants are healthy. You will also have to have the connections in the denture replaced regularly as these will degrade over time.
