What are dental implants in Norwich?
Like natural teeth, replacing what nature gave you
For restorative, reconstructive or cosmetic needs, dental implants can give the patient new teeth which look, feel and function just like the natural original. They allow the patient to regain the ability to eat, smile and speak with complete confidence and also improve the appearance.
Implants are very strong and long lasting. They provide permanent fitting and chewing strength. Compared to bridges there is no invasive re-modeling of adjacent healthy tooth structure required.
Implants also help to preserve facial contours by preventing the degenerative bone shrinkage which occurs when the teeth are missing, thus preventing that hollow facial look.
Who are dental implants suitable for in NR7?
A long-term option for missing teeth
Dental implants may be suitable for patients across Norwich, Thorpe St Andrew, Old Catton and Sprowston who want a fixed solution for missing teeth.
Dental implants are used to replace missing teeth by serving as the replacement for the root portion of a missing natural tooth. Dental implants are small tissue-compatible surgical grade titanium fixtures. They are inserted into either the upper or lower jaw bone.
A few medical conditions prevent the use of implants but these are rare. There is no age limit and elderly patients are often quite suitable.
However implants need enough good quality bone to lock into. This can sometimes be supported with bone grafting procedures.
How do dental implants work in Norwich?
Osseointegration and secure tooth replacement
It is an accident of nature that titanium is not rejected by the body’s immune system. In fact the bone cells actively grow onto the implant surface and lock it into place.
This period of natural bonding is referred to as osseointegration.
The integrated fixtures then become like secure new tooth roots upon which crown, bridge or denture can be held in place.
Implants can replace a single tooth or a whole mouthful of missing teeth.
Your dental implant journey in Norwich
4 carefully planned stages from consultation to new smile
1. Initial consultation and assessment
Your implant dentist will examine your mouth, discuss your goals and confirm if implants are right for you.
At Friends Dental Practice, implant consultations are currently £80 and include a full discussion of treatment options.
2. Advanced imaging and planning
We use modern technology including on-site CBCT scanning to plan implant placement accurately.
In-house CBCT scans are available at £100 per arch where required.
3. Implant placement and healing
The titanium implant is placed gently into the jawbone under local anaesthetic.
A healing period follows while the bone bonds naturally to the implant surface.
4. Final restoration and long-term care
Once healed, your implant is restored with a custom crown, bridge or implant-retained denture.
You will receive a post-operative care plan and ongoing maintenance support.
Treatment stages typically take around six to eight months depending on complexity.
Are dental implants safe and long lasting?
High success rates with careful planning
No treatment can be guaranteed to work but implants have a high success rate in the right cases.
Implant treatment is now a well-established technique with a success rate of more than 95% over a fifteen year period.
It is essential to care for implants properly once they are in your mouth or they may fail due to infection.

Dental implant FAQs in Norwich
Common patient questions

Are implants suitable for older patients in Norwich?
Yes. There is no age limit, and many patients from Norwich NR7, Thorpe St Andrew, Old Catton and Sprowston are suitable candidates following assessment.
Will implant treatment hurt?
Implant placement is performed gently under local anaesthetic. You may experience mild discomfort similar to having a tooth extracted.
What if I smoke?
Smoking can inhibit healing, but it does not automatically prevent implant success. Your dentist will advise based on your individual situation.
How do I look after implants long term?
You will need regular maintenance visits. Implants are not alive, but the surrounding gums and bone must be kept healthy to prevent infection.
