At Skintique Beautiful Smiles, we understand the impact that missing teeth can have on your confidence, functionality, and overall quality of life. If you’re looking for a permanent solution, dental implants are the most reliable and advanced option available. Whether you need a single implant, an all-on-4 restoration, or bone grafting to prepare your jaw for implants, our team in Leicester is dedicated to providing tailored treatments that restore both form and function to your smile.
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made of biocompatible materials, typically titanium, which are surgically placed into your jawbone. These implants provide a stable foundation for replacement teeth, such as crowns, bridges, or dentures, and are designed to look, feel, and function just like natural teeth.
Dental implants can be used for a single missing tooth, multiple teeth, or even to replace a full arch with solutions like all-on-4. This innovative treatment allows patients to restore their entire smile with just four strategically placed implants.
While dentures have been a reliable option for replacing missing teeth, they come with their limitations. Dental implants offer numerous advantages over traditional dentures, including:
Implants are anchored directly into your jawbone, offering a secure fit that doesn’t shift or slip like dentures. This means you can enjoy your favorite foods and speak confidently without worrying about your teeth moving.
Unlike dentures, which may need to be replaced over time, dental implants are designed to last for decades with proper care. Implants fuse to the jawbone in a process called osseointegration, ensuring they stay securely in place.
One of the key benefits of dental implants is their ability to prevent bone loss. When a tooth is lost, the underlying bone can begin to deteriorate. Implants stimulate the jawbone, promoting healthy bone growth and preventing further bone loss.
Implants are customized to match the size, shape, and color of your natural teeth, providing a seamless, realistic look that enhances your smile.
Since dental implants don’t require altering surrounding teeth, they preserve the integrity of your other teeth. This ensures better long-term oral health.
The process of getting dental implants involves several steps, but don’t worry—we’ll be with you every step of the way to ensure your comfort and satisfaction.
The first step is a detailed consultation where our expert team at Skintique Beautiful Smiles in Leicester will evaluate your oral health. This may include X-rays and digital scans to determine the health of your jawbone and identify the best treatment approach.
Based on the assessment, we’ll create a personalized treatment plan tailored to your needs. If your jawbone is not thick enough to support implants, we may recommend bone grafting to build up the bone and ensure a stable foundation for the implants.
Once your treatment plan is in place, the next step is the surgical procedure where titanium posts (implants) are placed into your jawbone. This is done under local anaesthesia to ensure minimal discomfort.
After the implants are placed, the healing process begins. During this time, the implants fuse with your jawbone in a process known as osseointegration. This can take several months, but it's a crucial step to ensure long-term success.
Once your implants have successfully integrated with the bone, we will attach the final restoration—whether it's a single crown, a bridge, or an entire denture supported by all-on-4 implants. This is the final step in restoring both the appearance and function of your teeth.
Dental implants are not just an aesthetic solution—they are an investment in your oral health. By choosing implants over temporary alternatives like dentures, you’re making a long-term decision that will improve your ability to chew, speak, and smile.
The strength and stability of dental implants allow you to enjoy a more natural bite, which means you won’t have to compromise on your favorite foods. Whether you’re enjoying a steak or a crunchy apple, implants offer the freedom to eat what you love without discomfort.
Moreover, because they integrate into your jawbone, dental implants help maintain the bone structure in your face, avoiding the sunken look often associated with missing teeth. This helps preserve your facial aesthetics, making dental implants the most holistic solution for replacing missing teeth.

Dental implants are designed to last for decades with proper care. The implant itself can last a lifetime, while the restoration (such as a crown) may need to be replaced every 10-15 years.
The dental implant procedure is typically performed under local anaesthesia, so you should not experience pain during the surgery. After the procedure, some discomfort and swelling are common but can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain relievers.
The cost of dental implants varies depending on factors such as the number of implants, the complexity of the procedure, and any additional treatments like bone grafting. We offer a range of financing options to make implants more affordable.
Most healthy adults are candidates for dental implants, but patients with insufficient jawbone may require bone grafting. During your consultation, we’ll assess your eligibility and recommend the best treatment options for you.
Yes, dental implants are often preferred over dentures because they provide greater stability, comfort, and longevity. Implants integrate with your jawbone, preventing bone loss, and offer a more natural look and feel compared to traditional dentures.
