71 North StreetMissing teeth can affect your confidence, oral function and quality of life. At Carlton Dental, we provide dental implants in Carshalton for people looking to replace one or more missing teeth with a secure, natural-looking solution. Our experienced team will assess your oral health, discuss your options and create a treatment plan tailored to your individual needs.
Dental implants provide a fixed way to replace missing teeth. An implant is placed into the jawbone to act as an artificial tooth root, which can then support a crown or other suitable dental restoration.
Depending on your individual circumstances, dental implants can offer:
If you are weighing up your options, you can also learn about dental bridges and dentures.
Dental implants can be suitable for many adults with missing teeth, but every patient needs an individual assessment before treatment.
Your dentist will consider factors including:
If there is not enough bone to support an implant, this does not necessarily mean treatment is impossible. Your dentist can explain whether additional procedures or another form of tooth replacement may be more appropriate.
The most reliable way to find out is through a clinical assessment rather than trying to determine your suitability yourself.
Careful assessment and planning are important parts of implant dentistry. Carlton Dental uses digital dental technology, including the 3Shape TRIOS Move+, to support accurate treatment planning and create detailed digital images of your teeth and mouth.
Digital scanning can also reduce the need for conventional dental impressions in appropriate cases, helping make the assessment experience more comfortable.

Your treatment journey will depend on your oral health, the number of teeth being replaced and the type of restoration required. We will explain your individual plan before treatment begins.
We discuss your missing teeth, dental history and treatment goals before assessing whether implants are suitable for you.
Detailed scans and clinical assessment help us plan the position of your implant and the restoration it will eventually support.
The dental implant is placed into the jawbone. Your clinician will explain what happens during the procedure and the options available for keeping you comfortable.
The implant needs time to heal and integrate with the surrounding bone. The length of this stage varies between patients.
Once the implant is ready, your final restoration is fitted and designed to complement your existing smile.

Choosing dental implants is a significant decision, so treatment should begin with a clear understanding of your needs rather than a one-size-fits-all recommendation.
At Carlton Dental, our approach combines experienced dental care with digital treatment planning and personalised support. We will explain your options, answer your questions and help you understand what your proposed treatment involves before you decide whether to proceed.
You can also explore real patient case studies to learn more about treatment provided at Carlton Dental.
The cost of dental implants varies because treatment is planned individually. Factors such as the number of implants required, the type of final restoration and whether additional treatment is needed can all influence the overall cost.
Following an assessment, the team can explain the recommended treatment and associated costs so you can make an informed decision.

Dental implants are designed as a long-term tooth replacement option, but their lifespan varies between patients. Good oral hygiene, healthy gums, regular dental care and lifestyle factors can all affect their long-term success.
Implant placement is normally carried out with local anaesthetic to keep you comfortable during treatment. Some discomfort, tenderness or swelling can occur afterwards. Your dental team will explain what to expect and provide appropriate aftercare advice.
Treatment times vary because the implant usually needs a healing period before the final restoration can be completed. Your dentist will provide a more personalised timescale after assessing your mouth and planning your treatment.
Healthy gums are important for implant treatment. If active gum disease is present, it may need to be managed before an implant is placed. Your dentist will assess your gum health as part of your consultation.
Neither option is automatically better for every patient. Implants provide a fixed solution, while dentures are removable and may be appropriate in different circumstances. Your oral health, available bone, preferences and treatment needs will help determine the most suitable option.
Smoking can interfere with healing and can increase the risk of implant complications. If you smoke, it is important to discuss this openly during your assessment so your dentist can explain how it may affect your suitability and treatment.
If missing teeth are affecting how you eat, speak or feel about your smile, our Carshalton dental team can help you understand your options. Start with a personalised implant consultation where we can assess your needs, answer your questions and explain whether dental implants could be suitable for you.
