You may have missing or failing teeth for many different reasons; tooth decay, infection, gum disease, trauma, or removal of an impacted tooth. At The Scottish Centre for Excellence in Dentistry in Glasgow, our team understands how missing teeth can impact all aspects of your life. No matter the cause, missing teeth can cause you to feel self-conscious of your smile and make it trickier to speak or chew.
If you have missing or failing teeth, multiple dental implants at The Scottish Centre for Excellence in Dentistry in Glasgow is often the best solution.
If more than one tooth is missing, single dental implants aren't necessarily needed to replace them all. Our implant dentists in Glasgow can place implants either side of the gap and fit a bridge to fill the space.
A dental implant is made of titanium and replaces the root of a missing tooth. Following placement of the dental implants the surrounding bone will gradually integrate with them, holding the dental implants firmly in place. When multiple dental implants are placed, a bridge matching the colour and shape of your existing teeth can be fitted.
Having placed over 5,000 dental implants throughout a rich career in implant dentistry, our expert implant dentist at The Scottish Centre for Excellence in Dentistry in Glasgow has seen the benefits of single dental implants first-hand:
1. Discuss Your Dental Implant Treatment Options
Every treatment begins with an assessment from your local Scottish Centre for Excellence in Dentistry dentist in Glasgow who will be performing your dental implant treatment. They will discuss all dental implant options with you, make an assessment of the best dental implant solution for you, and ensure you understand every step of your dental implant treatment in Glasgow. You will have an x-ray and, in some cases, a CT scan to help visualise your jaw, check your gum health, and ensure there is enough jaw bone to place the dental implant.
2. Placing the Multiple Dental Implants
Once a treatment plan is agreed, our expert implant dentists will place your multiple dental implants. The dental implants will need a few months to integrate with the jawbone to ensure a stable and comfortable fit. Thanks to modern technologies, our implant dentists in Glasgow will be able to fix a temporary bridge, allowing you to continue life as normal until your new teeth are ready.
3. Attaching Your Custom-made Bridge
After a few months, your implant dentist in Glasgow will take an impression of your mouth. This enables a dental technician to build your bespoke bridge which will be colour matched to blend seamlessly with your other teeth. We will be able to place your new, permanent bridge.
4. Enjoy Your New, Natural Smile
You should expect your new multiple dental implants to fit and function just like a natural tooth. You will now need to follow your usual dental hygiene routine to keep the tooth and gum clean and healthy.

Each year patients of all ages, genders, and backgrounds receive life-changing dental implant treatment in Glasgow. If you have a row of missing teeth, multiple dental implants at Scottish Centre for Excellence in Dentistry in Glasgow could be the permanent solution for you.
You’ll usually be given a local anaesthetic (and a sedative if you choose) so you feel more comfortable during your treatment. Most of our patients recover quickly, but you might experience some discomfort and swelling for several days. Don’t worry, we will provide you with aftercare and if you are worried about anything you can contact us for reassurance and advice.
Just like natural teeth, dental implants can be damaged by trauma and affected by gum disease and poor dental health. However, if you look after them - they can last for many years.
The cost of dental implants at Scottish Centre for Excellence in Dentistry will vary depending on your dental needs. We offer affordable payment plans with 0% finance (subject to credit checks) to help you spread the cost of your new smile.
We don’t recommend having dental implants in other countries. If you have any problems later on, it can more difficult to get these sorted as you will have to travel back to where you had your treatment (multiple visits are often needed). Also, as there are different implant systems, some may not be compatible with the availability of implant components in other countries.
