Replace loose fitting dentures
Get rid of ill-fitting dentures through the adoption of dental implants. By securely affixing titanium posts to the jawbone, dental implants eliminate the inconvenience of denture instability. This solution not only ensures a comfortable fit but also restores confidence, allowing you to continue with daily activities without concerns of denture slippage.
Improve chewing and speaking
Dental implants provide a stable foundation as they are attached to your jawbone, making it easier for you to enjoy your favorite foods and communicate clearly. You won’t have to worry about your speech impediment and difficulty to chew.
Close large gaps
Your solution to a happy and complete smile. Dental implants effortlessly bridge the large gaps in your teeth and prevent your surrounding teeth from shifting. Dental implants are attached to your jawbone with a titanium bolt which acts as your natural tooth root.
Restore your former natural smile
Never been able to smile? Or miss your old Smile? Dental implants naturally blend with your existing teeth both functionally and aesthetically. Dental implants eliminate the gaps and discomfort you may be feeling but will also return your confidence and complete smile back to normal.

“I had to have a lot of work done. I was so embarrassed by the state of my teeth that I cried when I had my first consultation. The minute I walked into Giffnock Village Dental Care I felt at ease. The staff are absolutely amazing. I had to have many visits and they have worked wonders for me. Built up my confidence for not only going to the dentist, but now I can finally smile.”

What is the consultation process?
We will confirm that you are a suitable patient for dental implants when you visit the clinic for your initial consultation. There are some patients for whom dental implants are unsuitable and, if this is the case, we will discuss alternatives with you.
What dental implants do we offer?
We Use Premium Dental Implants from Trusted Manufacturers.
Our practice primarily uses Southern Implants, known for their high-quality materials, innovative design, and exceptional long-term performance. These implants are made from strong, biocompatible materials to support optimal healing and integration.
We also have experience with Nobel Biocare implants, another reputable brand that has historically delivered excellent results. By working with leading implant systems, we ensure every treatment is tailored for durability, precision, and patient satisfaction.
How long does it take to have implants
The implant placement procedure is completed in a single session under local anaesthetic. Once the dental implants have integrated with the bone, usually within three to four months, we will attach your new teeth.
