If you’re struggling with gaps in your smile, missing teeth can impact not just your appearance but also your ability to eat and speak comfortably. You might be looking for a solution that feels natural, looks great, and lasts for years to come.

Are You Ready to Restore Your Smile with a Long-Lasting Solution?

Get Your Confidence Back with Dental Implants!

Titanium dental implants are one of the most reliable and widely used solutions for replacing missing teeth. Known for their exceptional strength and biocompatibility, titanium implants integrate seamlessly with your jawbone, providing a stable foundation for crowns, bridges, or dentures.

Strength that lasts a lifetime!

Restore Your Smile Permanently

How Do Dental Implants Work?

A dental implant is a screw-like metal post inserted into the jawbone. It acts as a natural tooth root and serves as a foundation for the replacement tooth, a custom-made dental crown that sits atop the implant.

The crown closely matches the size, shape, and colour of your natural teeth, ensuring it blends seamlessly with the surrounding teeth to give you a healthy, beautiful smile.

Dental implants can also support dentures and bridges and provide a stable set of functional teeth that look and feel completely natural and can last a lifetime.

Types Of Dental Implants We Offer

Pure Titanium Implants

Imagine having the smile you had when you were in your 20’s restored. Imagine that the gums and teeth look so life-like that in most cases it’s difficult to know that they aren’t your teeth.

Imagine that the dentures support your lips and jaws so well that they make you look ten years younger. With the ability to help keep your dentures in place, implants provide a better source of stability and comfort.

If you’re replacing a full arch or a full set of teeth then titanium implants are the best choice. Titanium implants are made in two pieces, so dentists are able to make any alterations to an abutment angle when needed, which helps smile lines look more natural. We specialise in all on 4 dental implants in Edinburgh, meaning the full top or bottom mouth teeth implants are supported by just 4 titanium implants.

They are strong, durable and lightweight.

We offer Swiss-made pure titanium implants from a company with an extensive and unrivalled record of research behind their products. So sure is this company about the quality of its product that it provides a lifetime warranty on its implants ( but not the surgery)

Zirconia Implants

For people who are concerned about having metal in their bodies, we offer Zirconia metal-free implants. These are biologically inert, and so pose no risk of interaction or allergies to the human body.

An inherent characteristic of zirconia is its white appearance, allowing it to mimic the translucent properties of a tooth, and serves as a natural complement to surrounding healthy teeth – which makes it a great choice for natural-looking dentistry.

If you suffer from gum recession or thin gums, you might find that zirconia dental implants are more aesthetically suited to you. Titanium dental implants have been known to make thin gums appear grey, while zirconia implants are white and therefore manage to look more natural.

Zirconia implants are known for being particularly durable, as they were specifically designed to be able to withstand a lot of force. When looking for a reliable dental implant system, strength and durability are attractive features. Undoubtably, this makes Zirconia the best dental implants in Edinburgh for those sensitive to metal or have allergies.

Transform Your Smile

Our Dental Implant Treatment

Single Tooth Replacement

Our Single Tooth Replacement, focused on maintaining the health and alignment of surrounding teeth, features a custom-designed implant that seamlessly blends with your natural teeth. While this procedure is pivotal in preserving the adjacent teeth’s condition, it also has the added benefit of enhancing the appearance of your smile.

Multiple Teeth Replacement

Tailored for those missing several teeth, our Multiple Teeth Replacement involves a series of implants supporting a custom bridge. This approach restores your smile’s natural look while preventing bone loss and the shifting of nearby teeth, offering a durable and aesthetically pleasing solution.

Full Arch
All On 4 Implants

The All-on-4 treatment is a full-mouth restoration technique using four strategically placed implants to support a complete arch of teeth. Ideal for those with significant tooth loss, this method offers a stable, natural-looking solution with a quicker treatment and recovery time.

Key Advantages

The Treatment Journey

Here’s what to expect as you embark on your journey to a healthier, more confident smile:

5: Precision Implant Placement with X-GUIDE Technology

During the procedure, we utilise X-GUIDE technology to digitally transfer the precise 3D position of the implant. This advanced guidance allows Dr. Puri to place the implant at the exact location, akin to how a spacecraft docks with a station using satellite navigation. This eliminates the need for guesswork or X-ray measurements during the procedure, ensuring a more streamlined experience and quicker, longer-lasting results for you.

I had a great experience at Inverleith Dentalcare. John McAleavey was very thorough during my check-up and used a camera system to create a 3D scan of my teeth, showing where plaque had built up, which was really helpful. Briana, the hygienist, did an excellent job, leaving my teeth feeling very clean. Overall, I was very pleased with the service and would recommend Inverleith Dentalcare, especially John and Briana.

I met with Dr John McAleavey as a new patient for a consultation about my complex dental health situation. I'm a nervous patient and was instantly at ease on entering the practice. John really listened to my background story and quickly spotted the source of my problems that had been missed by other dentists. My assessment was the most rigorous I've ever received, yet very gentle. John took the time to explain everything thoroughly and clearly. I left the practice with a sense of peace that I'd found the answers I'd been seeking, and confident I was in the hands of expert professionals. I'd recommend them to anyone.

I was anxious before my first appointment with Inverleith Dental - my dentist of 25 + years had retired and I needed a practice nearer home - but I should not have worried!The welcome from the receptionist was lovely - The initial conversation with the dentist was very helpful - I learned about the ethos of the practice and felt I was being listened to - in addition this chat took place before the mouth examination so I was not in the reclining position which can put the patient at a disadvantage!The receptionist was most helpful with my mobility problems on leavingThe beautiful Georgian building is a bonus

I found Inverleith Dentalcare as I needed emergency dental treatment. They were very accommodating and managed to allocate an appointment the next day. Their service is second to none with professional and caring staff, dentists take the time to explain the procedure to the patient, and use modern standard techniques, materials and treatments. Worth every recommendation.

Caring For Your Dental Implants

Maintaining good oral hygiene is essential for the longevity of your titanium implants. Here are some tips for caring for your new implants:

Brush and floss daily to remove plaque and prevent gum disease.
Visit your dentist regularly for check-ups and professional cleanings.
Avoid smoking and limit sugary foods to promote oral health.
Report any discomfort or issues with your implants to your dental team promptly.

Are You a Candidate for Dental Implants?

Most adults with missing teeth and healthy oral tissues are potential candidates for titanium implants. However, certain factors may affect your eligibility, such as:

Bone Density: Sufficient bone mass is needed to support the implant. If bone loss has occurred, additional procedures like bone grafting may be necessary.
Oral Health: Good oral hygiene and overall health are crucial for successful implant placement.
Lifestyle Factors: Smoking and certain medical conditions can impact healing and the success of implants.

Your Questions Answered

Dental Implants FAQs

How long do dental implants last?

With proper care and maintenance, titanium dental implants can last a lifetime. Many factors contribute to their longevity, including oral hygiene, regular dental check-ups, and lifestyle choices. Patients who maintain good dental health and avoid habits like smoking or excessive alcohol consumption often enjoy the benefits of their implants for many years.

Is the procedure for getting implants painful?

Most patients experience minimal discomfort during the titanium implant procedure. Local anesthesia is used to numb the area, and sedation options are available for those who may feel anxious. After the surgery, some discomfort and swelling are normal, but these symptoms can typically be managed with over-the-counter pain relief medication. Your dentist will provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery.

What is the recovery time for dental implants?

The recovery time for titanium dental implants varies by individual but typically takes a few weeks to a few months. After the initial implant placement, the bone needs time to heal and integrate with the implant, a process called osseointegration. During this period, patients are advised to follow a soft food diet and avoid putting pressure on the implant site. Your dentist will monitor your progress and guide you through the recovery process.

Can anyone get dental implants?

Most adults in good health are candidates for titanium dental implants. However, certain conditions, such as uncontrolled diabetes, autoimmune diseases, or a history of radiation therapy to the jaw, may affect eligibility. A thorough evaluation, including dental and medical history, will be conducted by your dentist to determine if you are a suitable candidate. If you have concerns about your eligibility, be sure to discuss them with your dentist during your consultation.

How do I care for my dental implants?

Caring for titanium dental implants is similar to caring for natural teeth. Daily brushing and flossing, along with regular dental check-ups, are essential to maintaining oral health and ensuring the longevity of your implants. Your dentist may recommend specific cleaning products or techniques to use around the implant area. It’s also important to avoid habits such as smoking and excessive consumption of sugary foods and beverages, as these can negatively impact oral health.
