At last – You can smile with confidence & finally eat the foods you have always wanted!
Teeth give quality of life! When our teeth are healthy and attractive, we feel more confident about speaking, eating, and smiling. We are never more aware of this than when we lose or damage a tooth.
Missing teeth can cause problems in terms of both appearance and function. They can affect our bite, facial definition, bone loss, speech, and ability to eat or drink with confidence. Unsightly gaps and damaged teeth can also have a devastating impact on our self-esteem.
Dental implants offer a permanent solution to tooth loss, a new start, and a way to turn back the clock and restore the function of your teeth.
A dental implant is a small titanium cylinder that is fitted into the jaw bone. Once in place, we can secure a ceramic restoration onto the dental implant, thereby creating a permanent new tooth. They can be used to replace the need for dentures and bridges and offer longevity beyond a denture or a bridge.
The advantage for you is that you will regain your confidence with the smile you have always dreamed of. You would be able to eat your favourite foods without pain or discomfort and would be able to enjoy your life to the fullest.
Our specialist dentists have extensive experience in placing dental implants. You can book a complimentary consultation to discuss whether implants would be right for you. We also accept patient referrals from other dental practices.

The Power of Zirconia
Improved Aesthetics
The gum tissue surrounding titanium implants often takes on a greyish colour over time. Lighter, white zirconia offers a more natural and discrete look that doesn’t show through gum tissue – even after years in place.
Long Life
Zirconia is exceptionally durable with excellent performance under pressure and high corrosion resistance. With proper care, Richard’s expertly placed zirconia implants can be expected to last for many years.
Hypoallergenic
Some patients discover they are allergic or sensitive to titanium or the many other metals present in implants. But in many cases, they only find out years after surgery. Sensitivity can result in reduced bone density and eventual failure of the implants – but that’s not the case with hypoallergenic zirconia.
Metal-Free Alternative
Metal-free zirconia is non-conductive to both heat and electricity and eliminates the possibility of the ‘galvanic battery’ effect in which implants generate a low electrical current. As well as causing sensitivity in the jaw, the process can cause corrosion.
Conclusion
Zirconia dental implants offer a holistic, aesthetically pleasing, and biocompatible alternative to traditional titanium implants. Their unique benefits make them an excellent choice for patients seeking a natural-looking and harmonious solution for tooth replacement. Consulting with a dental professional at Gateway Dental, experienced in zirconia implants, is essential to determine the best course of treatment for your individual needs. If you're considering dental implants and want to explore the holistic benefits of zirconia, don't hesitate to reach out to Gateway Dental for more information and to schedule a consultation.
