Dental Implants Can Change Your Life

teeth health smile dentist For anyone struggling with a missing tooth, missing multiple teeth, or loose dentures- dental implants are a great option. Your self-esteem, self-confidence and enjoyment of life will increase when you feel good about your smile.

A dental implant is like a replacement tooth.

Today’s implants are very durable, typically made of titanium, and serve as the replacement for the tooth “root”. This root is placed in the jawbone and fuses with the natural bone, so the dental implant is sturdy and secure. An implant can be used to support an implant crown (replacing one tooth), an implant bridge (replacing several teeth) or to secure a loose denture.

Sliding dentures can make chewing difficult.

Dental implants make the dentures more secure, so they don’t slip – functioning like your own teeth and allowing you to eat your favorite foods with confidence and without pain.

Dr Ashley Davenport BDS MFGDP(UK)

I qualified as a dentist in 1995 and can honestly say that I have been doing a job that I love for the past 20 plus years. Most people who know me well know that dentistry is a passion for me and that if I won the lottery I would still want to have some dentistry in my life. I get huge satisfaction from treating patients and making a difference to ...

What Our Patient's Say

I absolutely cannot recommend Cathy, Ashley and the staff highly enough. I am the most petrified patient ever and didn't attend a dentist for years . But now I'm getting ready to have implants and this is only down to them making me at ease and going the extra mile to explain everything. Still scared but know I'm in safe hands Update - I was very scared and didn't know what t expect going in for my implants but was so surprised and pleased that I have gone ahead as I really was not in any pain at all, the procedure was explained to me in detail and the pain relief after was managed with over the counter painkillers, Thank you to Cathy for getting me over my fear and to the stage where this is possible, thank you Ashley for getting me through the implant process and thanks to the dental nurses for making me feel at ease and you were right Kirsty it really wasn't that bad ! If anyone is considering any dentistry including implants this really is the only place to go. Update - had me wonderful new implants fitted with no trouble at all and they look fantastic. I now have more confidence and feel so much better. Thanks to all the team for your care and patience. - read more

I was terrified about having implants. BUT, it was nowhere near as bad as I thought. Most painful part was from anaesthetic injections!! Gas and air definitely helped my nerves too. Thank you Dr Davenport, I absolutely love my new teeth and would recommend your skill and that of your lovely nurses to anyone thinking they are too frightened to go ahead. - read more

I recently had restorative work done on my upper and lower front teeth, followed by three implants to fill spaces in my upper back jaw by Dr Ashley Davenport at Balsall Common Dental Practice. This extensive dental work was carried out over a period of several months as the restorative work and implants required time to integrate and complete. All through the treatment I was kept fully informed and briefed on progress and next steps. The treatment itself was pain-free, although long and naturally sometimes uncomfortable. Dr Davenport and his staff were always most solicitous and reassuring. I have been most impressed with the final results. For the first time in years, I no longer have gaps visible when I smile but, more importantly, I can now chew food with much increased efficiency. I have been most impressed with how much improved my front teeth appear, and with how natural and efficient the implants are in appearance and function. I have no hesitation in unreservedly recommending the dental practice to others who may require similar and routine dental work. - read more
