Helping you chew, smile and speak with ease
Living with missing teeth affects more than your appearance. Gaps can cause strain on nearby teeth, change your bite and affect your bone and gum health over time. At Thornton Dental & Implant Centre we offer tailored solutions – whether it’s a single implant, an implant-supported bridge or a full-arch reconstruction – so you can enjoy comfort, stability and confidence again.
You might also consider related treatments such as cosmetic dentistry or dental bridges to complement your implant plan.
A solid foundation for replacement teeth
Dental implants are small titanium cylinders placed into the jawbone to act as artificial tooth roots. Over time your bone bonds with the implant through osseointegration, creating a strong base for a crown, bridge or denture.
Once restored, implants function like natural teeth, so you can eat, speak and smile normally. With good care they can last many years.

Your questions answered
Are implants a reliable treatment?
Dental implants have a long history of success. We thoroughly assess your suitability and explain every step before treatment.
What are dental implants and how do they work?
Have you lost all or some of your natural teeth? Bridges, dentures and flexible dentures are not the only solution, thanks to advances in modern dentistry. Have you heard of dental implants? Implant dentistry offers a clinically proven and safe solution to getting a great smile back and being able to bite and chew with confidence.
Dental implants are small metal screws that are placed in the jaw in place of a missing tooth. Once established, crowns, bridges and dentures can be fixed onto the implants, creating a natural-looking and stable restoration.
What are the benefits of dental implants?
When you lose your natural teeth, your jaw bone and surrounding tissues start to resorb or disappear over time. When implants are placed in the jaw, it stimulates the remaining bone to grow and mesh around the metal, along with tiny blood vessels, helping to prevent bone loss.
- Retained bone structure prevents the face from acquiring a ‘sunken’ look.
- Implants help restore function so you can eat, chew and bite as usual.
- Implants are a natural-looking way to replace missing teeth.
Will it hurt when the implant is placed?
We use local anaesthetic to keep you comfortable. Many people are surprised by how little discomfort they feel during and after surgery.
How long do implants last?
With proper care and regular check-ups implants can last for many years or even decades.
Who is a suitable candidate for implants?
Most adults with healthy gums and enough bone can have implants. Your consultation will confirm this.
How long does implant treatment take?
Treatment time depends on the number of implants and healing. Most cases take between 2 and 8 months from placement to final restoration.
What is a sinus lift and why might I need one before dental implants?
Have you worn dentures in your upper jaw for years? Did you know that there's an alternative, more comfortable option?
If you've worn dentures for an extended period of time in your upper jaw, the bone will have receded, rendering it difficult to undergo implant treatment and giving your face a sunken appearance. A sinus lift makes use of the contours of your face to provide a second chance at the functionality and reliability of dental implants.
How do implants differ from dentures?
Implants are fixed in your jaw and help preserve bone; dentures are removable and may not provide the same stability.
What happens during a sinus lift procedure?
Prior to the procedure, a number of tests will be run to ensure the suitability of the sinuses, which may include panoramic radio scans and CT scans.
Similarly to a bone graft procedure, there are several options for the new bone material: from the patient, from other tissue sources (human or animal), or synthetic. Your dentist will advise which will be best for you.
The sinus lift procedure will be performed by the dentist while you are under general anaesthetic. After a period of time, the site will be healed and ready for implants.
A sinus lift is a safe and clinically proven procedure and when completed with expertise and care it will provide the best, most stable base for life changing implant surgery. As with any surgical procedure, at our practice we ensure that you understand all aftercare instructions and we will check back with you regularly to ensure that the healing is going smoothly.
What are the benefits of a sinus lift?
- A more youthful appearance will give you more confidence.
- A second chance at the comfort and security of dental implants.
- A long-term investment in your health and wellbeing.
