Dental Implants

Dental implants represent the gold standard for tooth replacement, offering a permanent solution that looks, feels, and functions like natural teeth. At Christchurch Prosthodontics, we combine specialist surgical expertise with advanced digital technology to deliver implant outcomes of the highest quality.

Why Choose a Prosthodontist for Implants?

As specialists in tooth restoration, prosthodontists have unique expertise in both the surgical placement and the prosthetic restoration of dental implants. This dual perspective ensures that your implant is not only placed with surgical precision but also restored with a crown or bridge that perfectly matches your natural dentition.

Our Implant Process

Every implant case begins with a comprehensive assessment using CBCT cone beam imaging. This 3D scan allows us to evaluate your bone density, identify nerve pathways, and plan the optimal implant position before any surgery begins.

We use computer-guided surgical techniques with 3D-printed surgical guides, ensuring each implant is placed at the precise angle and depth for maximum stability and longevity. This approach minimises surgical time and improves predictability.

Types of Implant Solutions

We offer a full range of implant solutions tailored to your specific needs. Single implant restorations replace individual missing teeth with natural-looking ceramic crowns. Implant-supported bridges can replace multiple adjacent teeth without affecting neighbouring healthy teeth. For patients with significant tooth loss, implant-supported overdentures provide stable, comfortable full-arch restoration.

The titanium implant fixture fuses with your natural jawbone through a process called osseointegration, creating a permanent foundation. The custom-crafted ceramic restoration attached to the implant is designed to match your surrounding teeth in colour, shape, and translucency.
