Missing teeth affect more than your smile. They impact your confidence, bite, chewing ability and speech and, over time, can lead to jawbone resorption, which changes your facial structure. As a leading dental implant clinic in Milton Keynes, Oxford House offers several solutions for permanent tooth replacement, from single implants to full-arch restoration.

Dental implants use a process called osseointegration, where a titanium post fuses with your jawbone to create a stable, natural-feeling foundation. This makes them the most durable option in restorative dentistry, offering a level of comfort and rigidity that closely matches natural teeth when eating and speaking. We also offer other restorative treatments like bridges, crowns, and dentures.

Whether you need a single tooth replaced or a complete smile restored, we’ll assess your suitability and talk you through the right option at your consultation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions about dental implants? We’ve answered some of the most common ones below.

1. How much do dental implants cost in Milton Keynes?

Implant costs vary depending on how many teeth need replacing and whether additional procedures like bone grafting are required. We’ll provide a full breakdown at your consultation, with finance options available.

2. Am I a suitable candidate for dental implants?

Most adults with sufficient jawbone density and healthy gums are suitable. If jawbone resorption has occurred, a bone graft or sinus lift can often still make implants possible. Your consultation will confirm your eligibility.

3. How long do dental implants last?

With proper care, dental implants can last 20 years or longer, making them one of the most permanent solutions in restorative dentistry compared to bridges or dentures.

4. What’s the difference between implants and implant-retained dentures?

A single implant replaces one tooth permanently. Implant-retained dentures use several implants to anchor a full or partial denture securely in place, making them ideal for patients replacing multiple teeth who still want a removable option.

5. Is the implant procedure painful?

The procedure is carried out under local anaesthetic, and sedation options are available for anxious patients. Most patients report mild discomfort afterwards, managed with standard pain relief.
