Missing a tooth can affect more than your smile. It can change how you eat, how you speak,
how you laugh in photos, and even how confident you feel in normal everyday moments.
At Paulton Dental, we help patients from Ston Easton and the surrounding area explore dental implant treatment
in a calm, clear and honest way.
A dental implant is a long-term tooth replacement option designed to look, feel and function
like a natural tooth. Whether you are missing one tooth, several teeth, or struggling with loose dentures,
our team can assess your mouth properly and guide you through the most suitable option.
For missing teeth, loose dentures and smile confidence
A dental implant works like an artificial tooth root. It is placed into the jawbone and used to support
a crown, bridge or denture. Once restored, it can help you chew more comfortably, smile with more confidence
and avoid relying on removable dentures or traditional bridgework.
01
One missing tooth
A single implant can support a natural-looking crown without relying on neighbouring teeth.
02
Several missing teeth
Multiple implants may support a bridge, depending on your jawbone, bite and gaps.
03
Loose dentures
Implants may help stabilise dentures so eating, speaking and smiling feel more secure.
04
Failing tooth
If a tooth may need removal, an implant could be considered as part of your replacement plan.
05
Chewing difficulty
Implants can help restore comfort when eating, especially where gaps affect your bite.
06
Smile gaps
For visible missing teeth, implants can restore confidence with a natural-looking result.
Fixed. Natural. Planned.Dental implants are planned around your mouth, your bite, your gums and your long-term comfort.

What can dental implants help with?
1
Single dental implant
If you are missing one tooth, a single implant can support a crown made to blend with your natural teeth.
This may be suitable for a missing front tooth or back tooth.
2
Multiple dental implants
If you are missing several teeth, implants can sometimes support a bridge, meaning you may not need
one implant for every missing tooth.
3
Implant-retained dentures
If your denture feels loose, uncomfortable or unreliable, implants may be used to help stabilise it.
4
Full-mouth options
For patients missing most or all teeth, implant-supported full-arch solutions may be considered after
careful assessment.
5
Front tooth replacement
Dental implants can replace visible front teeth where careful planning is needed for a natural-looking result.
6
Back tooth replacement
Replacing a missing back tooth can help restore chewing comfort and reduce pressure on other teeth.

Suitability
Are dental implants right for me?
You may be suitable for dental implants if you have good general oral health, healthy gums and enough jawbone
to support an implant. Even if you have been told you have bone loss or gum issues, it does not automatically
mean implants are impossible. It simply means you need a proper assessment first.

Implant placement is usually carried out under local anaesthetic, so the area is numb during treatment.
Some soreness or swelling can happen afterwards and is usually managed with aftercare advice.

placement, healing and final restoration.
