Replace missing teeth
Dental Implants
Permanently replace missing teeth
Whether you have lost a missing tooth or missing teeth due to decay or trauma, we understand how this can affect your self-confidence. You might be embarrassed to smile, have problems eating or chewing and lack confidence to interact with other people.
Dental implants are the permanent solution to missing teeth. Unlike dentures, dental implants are fixed in your mouth and look and function like a natural tooth.
At Auroa Dental we have treated hundreds of patients from Hampton in Arden, Solihull and throughout the West Midlands for dental implants and we are confident that we can make you smile again.
What is the process for
Dental implants in The West Midlands?
Your first step in the dental implant process begins with a free consultation:
Step one - free consultation
At your initial consultation in Solihull, we will talk to you about what your teeth and what you would like to change about them. We will examine your mouth, teeth and gums, checking where in your mouth the missing teeth are and assessing the health of your remaining teeth.
We will x-ray your mouth and may take scans to help give us a better understanding about your oral health.
At the initial consultation we will also discuss your general health and determine such things as whether you are a smoker, have any illnesses or are taking any medication.
1. Free consultation
Step two – treatment plan
We will make recommendations about the dental implant work we could carry out which will be unique to you. The plan will contain details of the treatment, process and cost.

Step three – dental implant surgery
Your dental implant surgery will take place at Aurora Dental in Solihull. We will make you feel comfortable and administer a local anaesthetic to the specific areas in your mouth which means you won’t feel anything. A small incision is made into your gum and the titanium dental implant is gently embedded in your jawbone. Next, the abutment is fitted followed by temporary false tooth.
3. Dental implant surgery
Step four – healing process
Whilst your gums will heal quite quickly, we wait for a period of 3 to 6 months for a process called osseointegration to occur. This is where the dental implant fuses with your jawbone and becomes part of your gum. This process is essential for the success and longevity of your dental implants.

Step five – fitting of your bespoke restoration
Whilst your gums are healing, the team at Aurora Dental will be working on creating your bespoke new tooth or set of new teeth. This will be unique to you and colour-matched to any remaining teeth that you have. We will invite you back to the dental surgery in Solihull and fit your final set of new teeth.
Your dental implant process is now complete.

Why replace
Missing teeth in Solihull?
It’s important to replace a missing tooth or missing teeth for many reasons including:
To protect the health of your remaining teeth. If you have gaps in your mouth, your neighbouring teeth may begin to drift into the space.
Over time, missing teeth will affect your gums and jawbone. They will begin to recede, and this will affect your facial structure. Your face may appear sunken and look much older.
To protect your bite. Missing teeth can greatly affect your ability to eat and chew which you may find painful or uncomfortable.
Missing teeth looks unsightly and can make you appear older than you are.
What are
Dental implants in Solihull?
Dental implants can be used to replace a single missing tooth or many missing teeth. If you have no teeth at all, we offer all-on-4 dental implants which replaces a full set of teeth to the upper or lower jaw with just 4 dental implants.
Dental implants are a permanent way to replace missing teeth which means you never have to worry about gaps in your smile or wearing dentures again.
Dental implants are made up from three parts:
The titanium implant which is gently inserted into your jawbone and acts like the new tooth root
An abutment which connects the implant to the final piece
The dental crown which is your new replacement tooth – natural coloured to blend in with remaining teeth that you have
