Clinicians

Technology

  • KaVo OP 3D

    CBCT scanning

    Shows the jawbone and nearby structures in 3D when clinically indicated.

  • Straumann SIRIOS X3

    Intraoral scanner

    Records your teeth and gums to help plan the position and shape of your replacement teeth.

  • Digital implant planning

    We use Invivo to plan where implants will sit in relation to your replacement teeth. Imaging can help assess the bone where clinically needed.

FAQs

Will I need a bone graft?

That depends on the bone at the proposed implant site. Your clinician can explain what the assessment shows and whether another approach would suit you.

Can implants replace more than one tooth?

Yes. Implants can support a bridge or a removable denture. Your clinician can explain the options for the number and position of the teeth you need to replace.

Implant-supported dentures
Further reading

Single teeth, several teeth and full arches

A crown usually replaces one tooth. An implant bridge can replace several teeth, and a full-arch bridge replaces all the teeth in one jaw. A removable implant denture can also be supported by implants. The available bone, gum health and how you’ll clean the replacement help guide the choice.

Planning, healing and maintenance

Treatment starts with an assessment. Implant surgery and fitting the final teeth are usually separate stages. You’ll need to clean around the implants and attend reviews. Ask about the risks and alternatives before deciding.
