Smile solutions at Welling Dental Studio

It’s our belief that coming to the dentist (particularly for such a life-changing treatment like replacing missing teeth) should actually be a pleasant experience! That’s why from the very start of your journey with us, a dedicated treatment coordinator will be looking after you.

They will arrange for you to have a clinical appointment with one of our dentists, who will get to know you, your medical history, and the anatomy of your smile (our dedication to patient comfort even extends to finding out what type of music you like when you’re in the chair/whether you require a special pillow or other comfort enhancing aids whilst in the chair). We want you to feel like you can do you when you come in to see us.

We can offer more traditional prostheses like dentures and bridges, but we also offer what is undoubtedly the best tooth replacement treatment: dental implants.

Frequently asked questions

Tell me why dental implants are best for replacing missing teeth.

Imagine if you could actually replace a tooth with something that was virtually identical to a real tooth. That’s the wonder of implants.

Implants simulate the function of a real tooth root once they have been placed into the jaw. After your jaw has healed, the implant will sit firmly within it as the bone will have grown around it. This is unlike any other means of tooth replacement – implants are the only way to make sure your face retains its natural shape and volume, something that isn’t possible with traditional dentures and bridges.

I have multiple missing teeth – am I still suitable for implants?

Huge strides have been made in the field of implants which now allow patients to have dentures and bridges that are anchored with implants. This is incredibly life-changing, particularly for denture-wearers, who can really struggle with their dentures slipping at the most inopportune moments, such as at the dinner table and during photographs.

The fantastic news is, there’s no reason to have to deal with this any longer if your dentures no longer fit, nor if you have lost several teeth.

Why choose us?

We know that choosing to have a tooth replaced isn’t an impulsive decision for our patients. As a team of dentists who value the personal touch, we will never rush our patients when they come to us looking for solutions to improve their smiles.

We will also be completely transparent about what you can expect from any given treatment. We will present you with a fully costed and completely tailored plan that you can review and approve, should you wish to proceed.

If you’re someone who finds visiting the dentist a challenge, we can offer sedation to help you feel completely relaxed throughout your appointment.
