If you’re missing teeth, you’re not alone, and you’re certainly not the only one who’s found it affects far more than eating or speaking. Many of our patients have shared how gaps, loose dentures, or broken teeth have made them self-conscious in photos, hesitant to smile, or even reluctant to join in at social events.
Dental treatments, especially implants can feel daunting, and we understand that there’s an emotional side to it as well as a clinical one.
That’s why, from your very first conversation with us, we take the time to listen to your story, understand what matters most to you, and build a relationship based on trust. Over the years, we’ve had the privilege of guiding patients through this journey, watching not only their smiles transform, but also the way they carry themselves in every part of their lives.
Here at White Smiles, we combine advanced technology, exceptional skill, and a warm, personal approach to create the right environment for life-changing results. Whether it’s one tooth or a full set, our goal is the same, to restore your smile, rebuild your confidence, and help you show up in the world as the very best version of yourself.
Every implant journey at White Smiles begins with trust and a real conversation, the kind where we listen first, understand what’s important to you, and explain things in a way that feels reassuring and easy to follow. From the first phone call to your final smile, you’ll always know exactly what’s happening, why, and what comes next.
Many of our patients come to us feeling self-conscious, frustrated, or even a little hopeless about missing teeth — and we understand there’s often far more to it than just the physical gap in your smile. It can affect how you eat, speak, and smile… but also how you feel in social situations, at work, and even with loved ones. You are not alone.
From the moment you reach out to us, you’ll be speaking with someone who genuinely listens to your story, your concerns, and what you hope to achieve. We’ll guide you through your options, set clear expectations on timescales and the investment. We are open and transparent to make sure you feel informed and confident before you even set foot in the practice.
Over many years, we’ve had the privilege of walking this journey alongside our patients. They’ve trusted us with their stories, shared how their situation made them feel, and — most importantly — told us about the transformation afterwards. Hearing how treatment has boosted their confidence, restored their enjoyment of life, and changed the way they show up in the world is the reason we do what we do.
1. Personal Consultation
Your first visit is all about understanding you. We’ll talk through your dental history, carry out a thorough assessment, and take the time to answer your questions in a way that feels clear and unhurried.
2. Advanced CBCT & Digital Scanning
We use our on-site CBCT scanner to take detailed 3D images of your mouth and jaw. This allows us to measure bone density, assess your suitability for implants, and plan your treatment with absolute precision. If you don’t have enough bone to support an implant right away, we can discuss bone grafting options tailored to you.
3. Treatment Planning & Temporary Options
Together, we’ll create a plan that fits your needs, lifestyle, and budget. If your treatment involves a healing period before the final restoration, we’ll make sure you have temporary teeth so you can smile and eat with confidence throughout the process.
4. Implant Placement
Using precise techniques and, if you choose, gentle sedation, we place your implants in a calm, supportive environment. Most patients report minimal discomfort and are pleasantly surprised at how straightforward it feels.
5. Healing & Integration
Over the next few weeks, your implant will bond naturally with your jawbone, creating a strong foundation. We’ll check in regularly to make sure everything is progressing as it should.
6. Final Restoration & Beyond
Your custom-made crown, bridge, or full arch will be carefully fitted and adjusted for comfort and aesthetics. We’ll then work with you to maintain your new smile with regular check-ups and hygiene visits, protecting your investment for years to come.
Every smile is different, so your implant treatment should be too. Whether you’re replacing a single tooth or restoring a full smile, we’ll guide you to the option that offers the best long-term results for your needs, budget, and lifestyle.
Perfect for replacing one missing tooth without affecting the neighbouring teeth. A small titanium implant is placed in the gap, acting as an artificial root, before a custom-made crown is fitted on top. It looks, feels, and functions just like a natural tooth — so no one will know it’s there (unless you tell them).
If you’re missing several teeth in a row, an implant bridge may be the ideal solution. Instead of placing one implant for every tooth, two or more implants can be used to support a fixed bridge. This restores your ability to chew comfortably and protects the health of your remaining teeth by avoiding the need to file them down for a traditional bridge.
The ultimate solution for replacing an entire set of upper or lower teeth in one procedure. Using just four carefully placed implants, we can secure a full arch of beautiful, fixed teeth — often on the same day as your surgery. No more loose dentures, no more hiding your smile. Just stable, natural-looking teeth that you can eat, talk, and laugh with confidently.
For suitable cases, we can place your implants and fit a temporary set of fixed teeth in a single appointment. You’ll leave the practice with a complete smile — then return once healing is complete for your final, custom-made restoration.
When you first call White Smiles, you’ll be speaking with someone who genuinely wants to understand you, your concerns, your hopes, and what you’d like to achieve.
From that very first chat, we’ll guide you clearly through your next steps, so you feel informed, comfortable, and confident long before you step through our doors.
For years, I struggled with the appearance of my smile. It got to the point where I did not like to smile around people or in pictures.
I went to many dentists but could never find one that made me feel comfortable enough to trust with fixing my smile and restoring my confidence. That all changed when I walked into White Smiles.
From the very first visit, the amazing and highly professional staff treated me like their most important patient, took the time to understand what I wanted, and worked with me to create a personalized plan that would give me the smile I had always hoped for. After several procedures, I could not be more pleased with their results and now I can’t stop smiling. My only regret was not finding White Smiles sooner.
Your Questions About Dental Implants — Answered
We know this is one of the first things people worry about, so let us reassure you — most patients say they’re surprised by how comfortable the process is. We use gentle techniques, local anaesthetic, and, if you’d like, sedation to keep you completely relaxed. You may feel a little tender afterwards, but it’s usually mild and short-lived.
Yes — completely. Every implant restoration is custom-made to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, right down to the shade, shape, and even the tiny details that make a smile unique. Most people will never know which tooth is the implant (and our patients often forget themselves!).
You’re not alone — many of our patients start out feeling exactly the same. We take the time to talk everything through, answer every question, and move at a pace you’re comfortable with. With our calm, caring team and the option of sedation, you’ll be in safe, reassuring hands from start to finish.
Not everyone does. If your jawbone needs a little extra support to hold your implant securely, we can help with gentle bone grafting procedures. We’ll know for sure after your consultation, where we use our on-site CBCT scanner for a precise 3D view.
From small grafts to build up a single area, to sinus lifts for the upper jaw, we offer the full range of treatments — all explained clearly so you understand exactly what’s involved.
Smoking can affect healing and the long-term success of your implant. We’ll give you honest advice about how to get the best result, which may include reducing or pausing smoking before and after treatment.
Most people are back to work and their usual routine within a day or so, we recommend taking it easy for a few days following treatment, no marathons please! We’ll give you a clear aftercare plan so you know exactly how to look after your mouth as it heals.
Yes — once healed, you can enjoy your favourite foods again without worry. Imagine eating with the same confidence as natural teeth again.
With good home care and regular check-ups, dental implants can last for many years, often a lifetime. We’ll be here to help you protect your investment every step of the way.
