Losing a tooth can be traumatic. It doesn't just affect your smile; it affects your ability to chew, speak and enjoy the foods you love.
At Tuddenham Road Dental Surgery, we believe you shouldn't have to compromise. We offer world-class Dental Implants - the gold standard for tooth replacement. Unlike dentures, which can slip or irritate, implants are permanently anchored into your jaw, providing a solid foundation that looks, feels and functions just like a natural tooth.
Anchored directly into the bone for a permanent fit. No messy adhesives, no slipping and no taking them out at night.
Prevents bone loss and facial shrinking. Implants stimulate the jawbone like a natural root to preserve your facial structure.
Restore your chewing power. Enjoy steak, apples and crusty bread again without worrying about your teeth moving.
Not all mouths are the same, which is why we don't rely on a "one size fits all" approach. We are proud providers of two of the world's most respected implant systems: Bicon® and Southern Implants®.
1. The Bicon® System (Short Implants)
Renowned since 1985, Bicon's unique "short implant" design often allows us to place implants in areas with limited bone height, avoiding the need for invasive bone grafting. Its locking taper design also seals out bacteria for healthier gums.
2. Southern Implants® (Precision Engineering)
For over 30 years, Southern Implants has been at the forefront of implant innovation. We utilize their advanced Co-Axis® range for complex cases. This unique angled design allows us to use your available bone more effectively—often eliminating the need for invasive bone grafting—while ensuring your replacement teeth fit with perfect natural alignment.
Implantology is both a science and an art. Your procedure will be performed by Mr. Paraskevopoulos, who holds a Masters Degree in Restorative & Aesthetic Dentistry.
With extensive training in implantology and a track record of successful placements since 2009, Mr. Paraskevopoulos has the experience to select the exact system - Bicon or Southern - that offers the safest, most durable result for your specific smile.
1. Consultation & Planning
We assess your bone health and discuss your goals. We will confirm if implants are right for you and outline the costs clearly.
2. The Placement (90 Mins)
Carried out under local anaesthetic (just like a filling), the titanium implant is gently inserted into the jawbone. Most patients report minimal discomfort.
3. Healing (2-4 Months)
We allow time for "osseointegration"—where your bone grows around the implant to lock it in place. You may wear a temporary tooth during this time so you never have a gap.
4. The Restoration
Once healed, we attach your custom-made porcelain crown or bridge. You walk out with a fully functional, beautiful smile.
