Dental Implants in Maidstone
Missing a tooth — or several — can affect your confidence, your bite, and your long-term oral health. At College Dental Surgeries in Maidstone, we provide dental implants as a safe, reliable, and well-established way to replace missing teeth permanently.
A dental implant works by placing a pure titanium screw into the jawbone, replacing the root of the missing tooth. Once the implant has fully bonded with the bone — a process called osseointegration — a custom-made, tooth-coloured crown is fitted on top, matched precisely to the colour and shape of your natural teeth. The result looks, feels, and functions like a real tooth.
Benefits of dental implants:
- Eat comfortably and confidently, with no dietary restrictions
- A long-term, durable solution — with proper care, implants can last decades
- Help protect and preserve jawbone density, which can deteriorate after tooth loss
- No need to alter or grind down adjacent healthy teeth, unlike a bridge
What to expect from treatment at our Maidstone practice
Every implant journey starts with a thorough consultation, including an assessment of your jawbone and oral health, so we can confirm suitability and talk you through timelines and costs. Treatment typically involves the implant placement itself, a healing period of a few months while the implant integrates with the bone, and finally the fitting of your permanent crown.
Is a dental implant right for you?
Most adults in good general health with sufficient jawbone density are suitable candidates. If you’re missing one tooth, several teeth, or are considering implants as an alternative to dentures, our Maidstone-based team can assess your case and recommend the best option for your smile.
