Dental implants

Serving patients throughout Hanley, Tunstall, Newcastle-under-Lyme and Stoke-on-Trent

Dental implant treatment can help restore missing teeth and improve both the appearance and function of your smile. Whether you’re replacing a single tooth, or a complete smile, dental implants offer secure teeth that feel just like your own, restoring both your smile and your quality of life.

Not only can implants recreate natural-looking teeth, but they also safeguard your overall dental health. Replacing missing teeth is extremely important, as missing teeth cause bone loss which will age your face and could potentially cause adjacent teeth to become loose too.

At Newcastle Dental Practice we can assist with all implant cases, from the simplest to the most complex. Our patients have the peace of mind that they can access progressive technology and benefit from a wealth of experience from our implant dentist, Dr Krishan Varma or Dr Manoj Popat.

What is a dental implant?

Put simply, a dental implant is a small titanium post placed in the jawbone to replace the root of a missing tooth. Over time, the implant can integrate with the surrounding bone, helping to provide support for replacement teeth.

Once the implant has healed, which typically takes around 3–6 months, it can be used to support a crown, bridge or denture to replace missing teeth.

These replacement teeth are carefully designed to blend with your existing teeth and help restore the appearance and function of your smile.

Types of implants

  • Single implant – implants can be used to replaces a single tooth, restoring your smile with a single implant and crown.
  • Multiple implants – if you have a gap from a few missing teeth, dental implants can be placed to securely fix a dental bridge in place.
  • Full smile restorations – If you are missing a full arch of teeth, or the full set, 4 to 8 implants can be placed to securely attach a denture. Anchoring dentures on dental implants ensure that they do not slip and are comfortable.

Why choose dental implants?

Crowns, bridges and dentures address the short-term cosmetic problem of missing teeth but do nothing to stop bone loss. Crown and bridge dentistry also requires grinding down healthy teeth leaving them at much greater risk for cavities and tooth failure. Dentures become uncomfortable and unstable over time as the jawbone shrinks causing eating and speech problems.

With dental implants, replacement teeth are securely anchored without compromising any neighbouring healthy teeth. Dental implants, like natural teeth, stimulate the jaw and stop bone loss.

Dental Implants Components

The benefits of implants


  • Natural appearance and function – Dental implants are designed to support replacement teeth that look and function similarly to natural teeth.


  • Stable support – Implants are placed in the jawbone to help provide a stable foundation for replacement teeth.


  • Long-term solution – With good oral hygiene and regular dental care, implants can provide a long-lasting option for replacing missing teeth.


  • Supports jawbone health – Implants can help stimulate the jawbone in a similar way to natural tooth roots, which may help maintain bone levels after tooth loss.

  • Are you suitable for treatment?

    To be considered for dental implant treatment, patients generally need healthy gums and sufficient jawbone to support the implant. At your initial consultation Dr Krishan Varma or Dr Manoj Popat will use x-rays and scans to establish if pre-treatment is required and will explain this further.

    Some patients may need to see a hygienist for a course of treatment to ensure their gums are strong and healthy before the dental implant process can begin. Dr Krishan or Dr Manoj will also check that there is sufficient bone for an implant to be placed successfully at this initial consultation. If there is insufficient bone you may need to need pre-treatment before your dental implants can be placed. This may include oral surgery procedures such as bone grafting, bone expansion or sinus lifts.

    The friendliness of the reception staff. The hygienist was constantly making sure I was comfortable and fine during the cleaning and explained how to best improve the bleeding in my gums before our next appointment.

    All staff are very welcoming and friendly. I’ve always had fears when it comes to visiting dentists from a young age, however I’ve never felt judged since going here and the dentists and hygienists I have seen have all been very accommodating when I have been nervous and the treatments I have gotten have been excellent (deep cleaning, fillings, checkups etc). If I’ve had any issues they get me in promptly and as soon as possible (wisdom tooth infection) and they are very reassuring and talk you through everything that’s happening and how to treat things after the appointment I highly recommend this Dentist to anyone if they are in need of reliable and trustworthy dentist practice.

    From the reception staff all the way up to the dentist my treatment was with utter respect, patience and kindness. Every step was explained and my opinion was asked for. I was having an extraction and was a little nervous, but was put at ease by Doctor Mark and Nurse Molly. Dr Mark met me in reception and escorted me to the treatment room and then back again at the end of the appointment. The appointment took as long as it took. At no point did it feel rushed or that I was taking up their precious time. They made me feel that they were there for me and that nothing was too much trouble.
