The dental implant treatment is most commonly used to replace missing teeth and is considered the best and most efficient way to create a natural look combined with stability and it will often provide a long-term solution.
Placing dental implants is a straightforward and routine procedure; the implant comprises an artificial tooth root, which is made from titanium and placed in the gum, and a ceramic crown which replicates your original tooth and is as close to the real thing as possible.
Whether you need just one or multiple dental implants, you‘ll soon feel the confidence to talk, eat, and smile normally without a second thought.
During an initial consultation with your personal Revitalise practitioner, we will discuss the treatment options, the costs and the aftercare involved and will help you to decide what would best suit you and your lifestyle.

In most cases, anyone can get dental implants.
However, there are several situations where another treatment option might be more effective.
For dental implants to be successful, it’s important that the density and volume of the bone is sufficient to support the implants, and that the surrounding teeth are in good condition.
Dental implants also aren’t a suitable option for those who:
If the bone has resorbed, bone can be placed in a separate procedure prior to the implants being placed. With the advances in modern technology, dental implants are suitable to almost all patients.
When the jaw bone is missing bone density and volume, we will rebuild and strengthen the jaw bone around the implants by adding bone.
We have a choice of bone to use:
Sometimes the upper jaw bone does not have sufficient bone density or volume to support implants. Unlike a bone graft, this process does not rebuild the jaw bone, rather adds bone volume in the Sinus space. This procedure is common and can sometimes take place at the same time of implant placement, but it’s usually carried out separately.
Yes, we have a range of treatment options available which we use to support dentures.
Some people have difficulty wearing and keeping their dentures securely in place, resulting in a poor user experience.
Implants can resolve this problem providing incredible security and comfort. Both removable implant dentures and fixed dentures can also provide further security, and allow you to have confidence in your smile.
No, you will not feel any pain during the procedure, it will just be slightly uncomfortable. You may experience some swelling and possible bruising after the procedure, but this will pass quickly and does not happen to everyone.
You will look after your replacement teeth the same way you would your natural teeth.
Neglecting the cleaning of them can result in bad breath and a build-up of plaque and biofilm, leading to further problems later down the line.
You might find certain areas difficult to clean at first, but our dental hygienist will support you and provide all the aftercare advice you need to maintain healthy teeth.
Although dental implants might seem to come with a hefty price tag, the investment outweighs the cost in improving one’s quality of life, function, confidence, and appearance. At Revitalise we will only recommend dental implants if we feel they are the best treatment option.
Delivering a quality product that provides you with the confidence to smile and live a happier and healthier life is our goal. That’s why we create all dental prostheses on-site only using materials of the highest quality.
Everyone deserves to have a beautiful smile they are happy with. Here at Revitalise, we offer a range of patient finance options to customers who would like to spread the cost of their treatment.
Our work doesn’t end after you have finished the course of treatment. At Revitalise, we have a duty of care to help you maintain your new teeth going forward, ensuring your new smile lasts. We offer all of our customers with affordable maintenance and aftercare. We will create an ongoing plan which allows you to spread the cost of after-care.
Dental implants are designed to be a permanent solution to tooth loss, meaning they can last 20–30 years or more. However, there are a few factors that can affect their longevity, including:
The entire process to replace a single tooth with an implant takes 12 weeks. If further surgical procedures are required to enhance implant support, this can extend the treatment period up to one year.
Simon will explain different options, timings, costings, risks and benefits. There is no obligation at this point and should you wish to proceed, we will present a detailed schedule which we would ask you to read, ask any questions and all being well as you to sign a consent to the treatment.
The routine process follows
Costs vary with each case. Finance options are available along with scheduled payment plans.

The answer is no.
We will never leave you with a gap, and it is possible to have an implant placed immediately after a tooth has been extracted. However, in some cases, the gum will need time to heal before we can proceed with inserting the implant.
Dental implants are a routine procedure carried out under local anaesthesia. Some patients prefer to have conscious sedation to help alleviate anxiety before and during treatment.
If you’re nervous about coming in for your treatment, let a member of our team know and we’ll do everything we can to make your visit as comfortable and stress-free as possible.
In some cases, yes. When there is insufficient bone volume to support dental implants, bone grafting will ensure the treatment can be achieved successfully.
That said, we can now use “copaSKY” implants, which require less bone volume so if you have ever been told you don’t have enough bone.
You will look after your dental implants the same way you would your natural teeth.
Neglecting the cleaning of them can result in bad breath and a build-up of plaque and biofilm, leading to further problems later.
You might find certain areas difficult to clean to begin with, but our dental hygienist will support you and provide all the aftercare advice you need to care for your dental implants properly.
Sufficient bone density of the jaw is required for dental implants to be successful, without it the jaw will not be able to support the implant. Patients who have experienced bone loss will still be able to receive the treatment, however, an additional procedure may need to be completed to strengthen the jaw bone. This is achieved through adding bone usually at the time the implant is placed.
If the bone has resorbed, bone can be placed in a separate procedure prior to the implants being placed. With the advances in modern technology, dental implants are suitable to almost all patients.
When the jaw bone is missing bone density and volume, we will rebuild and strengthen the jaw bone around the implants by adding bone.
We have a choice of bone to use:
Sometimes the upper jaw bone does not have sufficient bone density or volume to support implants. Unlike a bone graft, this process does not rebuild the jaw bone, rather adds bone volume in the Sinus space. This procedure is common and can sometimes take place at the same time of implant placement, but it’s usually carried out separately.
Everyone’s teeth are unique, meaning everyone we treat will have different needs. At Revitalise we offer a full range of dental implant types to suit your own unique dental treatment plan.
When you only have one tooth missing this can be replaced with an individual implant. This is the best treatment option available to not only restore the functionality of the missing tooth, but to support the health of the neighbouring teeth and preserve the jaw bone.
You may have heard of a dental bridge before as the term is also used with treatment related to dentures. With an implant supported bridge we will fill multiple gaps in your mouth with minimal surgically placed implants. For example, if you have three teeth missing in a row you will not have an implant placed in the middle, only within the neighbouring gaps.
Sometimes all of your upper or lower teeth will need replacing. This will be achieved with a full set. Even if you have a few teeth remaining the best option may be to remove them. Although most adults have 32 teeth this does not mean you will need to have 32 implants surgically placed. Lower jaws need a minimum of two implants and the upper jaw requires a minimum of four. It’s not uncommon for the upper jaw to require more implants due to the fact that the bone is softer compared to the lower jaw.
Dental implants in Cornwall come under restorative dentistry, a type of dentistry that is geared towards improving the appearance and function of the teeth. However, there are a number of problems which can arise from tooth loss.
Did you know that your teeth are not just a tool for eating? They also aid with speech and a missing tooth can make it harder to pronounce specific words. This is because teeth help control the airflow in and out of the mouth. When there is not enough friction from a fast airflow, strident sounds are harder to pronounce.
The most well known function of the teeth is their ability to help us digest food through chewing. When we have teeth missing, especially in the back of the mouth, it becomes a more difficult task to break down food effectively. Depending on how many teeth are missing the ability to eat solid foods could be limited.
Front teeth are sharp and have long single roots to take the lever forces of cutting and tearing food. Back teeth are flat and have two or three roots to spread the forces of crushing and grinding food.
If you lose back teeth the front teeth have to overwork to chew food effectively and they are not designed to take these forces and overloading can create failure of the front teeth in time.
That is why it is very important to ensure there are no gaps at the back of your mouth.
If you lose teeth it certainly affects how you eat and what you eat.
If you can’t chew effectively, the food enters the digestive system in lumps and your body has to deal with this. Heartburn and indigestion are common and the fact that the food has not been chewed will take longer for it to be broken down.
Food choice is also affected. With the loss of teeth, you could avoid certain foods and doing so eliminate some food groups.
Teeth support the bone of the jaw through stimulation of chewing and biting, think of it as an exercise for your jaw. When we lose teeth we also lose the stimulation from eating. As a result, the jaw will begin to waste away or become weaker. Dental implants are the best solution for ensuring your jaw bone remains active and healthy as they replicate the function of natural teeth.
Although our teeth are rooted into the jawbone, without a neighbouring tooth the ones remaining on either side of the gap may begin to move. Overtime more of the teeth will become misaligned and become crooked. Besides the cosmetic concern, this can lead to a range of issues including jaw pain, headache and the inability to bite correctly.
The cost of dental implants is heavily influenced by the clinical situation, you can expect a single front tooth restored to cost £3,500 and back teeth £3,250. However, a complete jaw fixed with implants will cost from £16,600.
Although dental implants might seem to come with a hefty price tag, the investment outweighs the cost in improving one’s quality of life, function, confidence, and appearance. At Revitalise we will only recommend dental implants if we feel they are the best treatment option.

Dental implants are not only designed to replicate the look of your natural teeth but also the function.
As the jaw bone weakens due to tooth loss the structure and shape of your face begins to change. Dental implants will not only maintain the jaw bone but can also strengthen it.
Unlike dentures which are removable false teeth, dental implants remain securely in place without the need of an adhesive or clasps
Dental implants can last over 20 years with the correct maintenance.
Dental implants are designed to last long term without the need of on-going maintenance with your dentist. However, just like your adult teeth, they will last as long as you care for them. You will need to look after your dental implants the same way you would your natural teeth.
You may find certain areas difficult too clean to begin with. Our dental hygienist will support you with techniques and educate you in how to maintain your oral health to its optimum level. Correctly cleaning your dental implants is crucial to avoiding issues that you would get with your natural teeth…such as gum disease.
Once you have had your consultation, and if dental implants are considered to be an option for you, we will book a time with our expert dentists. After taking and reporting on radiographic images of the jaw bone to access the volume and density of bone availability, he will invite you back and present his findings and treatment options open to you.
