A Long-Term Solution For Missing Teeth
Dental Implants In Ingatestone For Missing Teeth
Enjoy your food, speak comfortably and smile without worrying about missing teeth or a moving denture. At Start Smiling, dental implants offer suitable patients a secure way to rebuild both their smile and their confidence.
Dr Tom Sealey and Dr Tony Aneiros each bring over 20 years of clinical experience. Our expertise spans single-tooth replacement through to advanced full-arch implant dentistry, including All-on-Four treatment. We also teach and mentor other dentists in implant care.
Our practice records an implant success rate of over 95%, supported by careful assessment, established implant systems, strict sterile surgical protocols and ongoing maintenance. From your first consultation to long-term aftercare, every stage is planned around your health, comfort and the result you want to achieve.
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants replace the roots of missing teeth. Usually made from titanium, they are placed in the jawbone, where they integrate with the bone and provide support for a custom-made crown, bridge or denture.
A single implant can support one replacement tooth. Several implants can support a bridge to replace multiple teeth, while full-arch treatments can replace an entire upper or lower set of teeth.
For suitable patients, All-on-Four uses four strategically positioned implants to support a fixed full-arch bridge. Other patients may need a different number or arrangement of implants. We assess your bone, bite and dental health before recommending the appropriate approach.
Fixed implant teeth stay in place during everyday use. Implant-retained overdentures offer another option: greater stability while remaining removable for cleaning. We explain this distinction clearly so you understand exactly what your treatment involves.
Why Choose Dental Implants?
Missing teeth can affect much more than appearance. You may avoid certain foods, feel embarrassed about a visible gap or worry about a denture moving when you speak or laugh.
Dental implants can help restore comfortable chewing and give you greater confidence in everyday life. Whether you are missing one tooth or several, they provide options for secure, natural-looking replacement teeth.
A single implant can also replace a tooth without requiring neighbouring teeth to be prepared for a conventional bridge. For patients struggling with dentures, implant support can improve stability—or, where suitable, make a fixed replacement possible.
Our aim is to help you enjoy eating and socialising again, with replacement teeth designed around both function and appearance.
Dental Implants At Start Smiling, What Makes Us Different?
Tom and Tony combine more than 40 years of clinical experience, with extensive knowledge of surgical, restorative and cosmetic dentistry. We are the dentists who treat dentists, and our teaching and mentoring work reflects our commitment to sharing high standards of care with colleagues.
Our achievements include recognition in the Implant Single Tooth category at the Aesthetic Dentistry Awards 2018, alongside multiple awards for cosmetic dentistry and treating nervous patients.
We use digital technology to plan implant treatment in detail. Where appropriate, 3D X-ray imaging assesses bone and nearby anatomical structures, while optical scans record your teeth and bite. Digital surgical guides can help transfer the planned implant position accurately to your mouth. Placement is carefully planned around the final replacement tooth, rather than considered in isolation.
Surgery follows strict sterile protocols, with sterile instruments, controlled preparation and an experienced clinical team. We select established implant systems with strong clinical evidence and dependable component support. Careful planning, appropriate materials and thorough aftercare are priorities at every stage.
Our practice records an implant success rate of over 95%. Your individual outlook depends on factors such as bone quality, gum health, smoking, medical conditions and maintenance, which we discuss before treatment.
If you feel anxious, our team will help you prepare at a manageable pace. Tom and Tony are experienced in treatment under sedation, which can be considered where appropriate. Many patients also find that clear explanations and our calm, reassuring approach provide the support they need.
Your care continues after the implants are fitted. Our experienced hygiene team provides tailored cleaning advice, regular monitoring and professional maintenance, including AIRFLOW with appropriate powders and techniques. This ongoing partnership helps protect the tissues supporting your implants and supports lasting function.
Who Are Dental Implants Suitable For?
Implants may be suitable if you have a single missing tooth, several gaps, failing teeth or dentures that feel loose or uncomfortable.
You may want to replace a visible gap, regain confidence in chewing or explore a fixed alternative to a removable denture. We offer assessments for both straightforward replacement and more advanced full-arch treatment.
Suitability depends on your medical history, oral health, available bone and ability to maintain the implants. Some patients need gum treatment or bone grafting before placement; others may be better served by a different option.
We’ll explain what is achievable, the alternatives, costs and likely timescale. Whether you need one tooth replaced or a more comprehensive reconstruction, the goal is a comfortable, attractive smile you can maintain with confidence.
