Dental implants

Serving patients throughout Gaywood, Kings Lynn, Norfolk and Cambridgeshire

Dental implant treatment can change your life. Whether you’re replacing a single tooth, or a complete smile, dental implants offer secure teeth that feel just like your own, restoring both your smile and your quality of life.

Not only can implants recreate natural-looking teeth, but they also safeguard your overall dental health. Replacing missing teeth is extremely important, as missing teeth cause bone loss which will age your face and could potentially cause adjacent teeth to become loose too.

At Lynn Road Dental Practice we can assist with all implant cases, from the simplest to the most complex. Our patients have the peace of mind that they can access progressive technology and benefit from a wealth of experience from our implant dentist, Brais Vila Brana .

What is a dental implant?

Putting it simply, a dental implant is an artificial root made from titanium which is used to take the place of the original root, securely bonding with the jawbone over time. Once the new root has fully healed, which usually takes between 3 to 6 months, this is used to attach replacement teeth in place using crowns, a bridge or a denture. These replacement teeth are carefully crafted to ensure they match your natural teeth, leaving you with a beautiful, natural looking smile.

Types of implant

  • Single implant – implants can be used to replace a single tooth, restoring your smile with a single implant and crown.
  • Multiple implants – if you have a gap from a few missing teeth, dental implants can be placed to securely fix a dental bridge in place.
  • Full smile restorations – If you are missing a full arch of teeth, or the full set, 4 to 8 implants can be placed to securely attach a denture. Anchoring dentures on dental implants ensure that they do not slip and are comfortable.

Why choose dental implants?

Crowns, bridges and dentures address the short-term cosmetic problem of missing teeth but do nothing to stop bone loss. Crown and bridge dentistry also requires grinding down healthy teeth leaving them at much greater risk for cavities and tooth failure. Dentures become uncomfortable and unstable over time as the jawbone shrinks causing eating and speech problems.

With dental implants, replacement teeth are securely anchored without compromising any neighbouring healthy teeth. Dental implants, like natural teeth, stimulate the jaw and stop bone loss.

Dental Implants Components

The benefits of implants

  • Implants look and feel just like natural teeth – you shouldn’t notice any difference.
  • Implants provide permanent stability and comfort without affecting healthy teeth.
  • Implants won’t come loose or fall out.
  • Implants can last for many years if you maintain good oral hygiene.
  • Implants prevent ageing bone loss, by stimulating your bone structure and stabilising the surrounding teeth.

Are you suitable for treatment?

Patients must have healthy gums and enough jawbone to support dental implants. At your initial consultation Brais Vila Brana will use x-rays and scans to establish if pre-treatment is required and will explain this further.

Some patients may need to see a hygienist for a course of treatment to ensure their gums are strong and healthy before the dental implant process can begin. Brais will also check that there is sufficient bone for an implant to be placed successfully at this initial consultation. If there is insufficient bone you may need to need pre-treatment before your dental implants can be placed. This may include oral surgery procedures such as bone grafting, bone expansion or sinus lifts.

The staff are very friendly and helpful. The emergency appointment was quick and I came away satisfied with additional treatment to help further

16th September 2025

Extremely Professional information about the treatment that could be offered to which is what I have been looking for for some time. Looking forward to my treatment, although it was told to me that the treatment I need will not be a quick fix, but feel extremely optimistic of the end result. I believe that I have found the right dentist for me, who made me feel very comfortable and happy to rely upon his judgement on the treatment that will be suitable for me.

I needed to see a dentist unexpectedly with a painful gum. Called in Friday afternoon not expecting to be able to see someone. I got an appointment later that afternoon. So efficient. Such a helpful person on the front desk. To cap it all I went into my appointment early! Fantastic service.

My dentist has helped ease my extreme anxiety after previous bad experiences elsewhere- he takes time to ease my worries, talk me through what he’s doing or going to do. Gives me time between procedures- he treats me as a person not just an appointment. I wouldn’t go elsewhere.

2nd September 2025

On all my treatments ,check ups, and completed treatments the service and care was absolutely first class , makes going to the dentist dread free and surprisingly pleasent.

I have had terrible experiences at dentists before- but Lynn road dental surgery has taken time to accept a very anxious patient, slowly and gently telling me every step before it happens, friendly yet professional, reassuring and respectful. I honestly can’t praise them enough. Thank you.

I have been a patient with Lynn Road Dental for many years. Both the dentists and hygienists have looked after me very well in this time. They take the time to explain and reassure on the procedures to put me at ease. Nobody likes visiting the dentist but having a good experience like at Lynn Road Dental makes all the difference; I highly recommend this practice.
