Permanent, Natural-Looking Dental Implants
Dental implants are a highly effective solution for replacing missing teeth, offering both functional and aesthetic benefits. They look, feel, and function like natural teeth, allowing for normal chewing and speaking while enhancing the appearance of your smile. Implants also support long-term oral health by preserving jawbone density and maintaining the alignment of surrounding teeth.
Titanium dental implants have a thread and are initially screwed into the bone, which then grows into the pitted metal surface of the implant, providing an incredibly strong biological connection. This structure mimics the natural tooth, providing strength, stability, and a natural look. Investing in dental implants means restoring not just your smile, but also your confidence and quality of life.
OUR DENTAL IMPLANT TREATMENTS
There are different types of implants, each with its own benefits. Some are removable, while others are fixed for a more natural feel.
Single Dental Implant
A single tooth implant is ideal for patients who are missing one tooth due to injury, decay, or gum disease.
- Preserves jawbone health by preventing bone loss
- Functions and looks like a natural tooth
- No need to grind down adjacent teeth, unlike traditional bridges
Multiple Dental Implants
If you are missing several teeth, multiple teeth implants treatment is an excellent alternative to removable dentures or bridges. Instead of replacing each tooth with a separate implant, multiple implants are placed to support crowns or a dental bridge.
- Provide stability and prevent shifting of adjacent teeth
- Offer a comfortable and natural bite
- Prevent jawbone deterioration
All-on-4 Dental Implants
The All-on-4 dental implant system is designed for patients who have lost all or most of their teeth in one or both jaws. This technique uses four strategically placed implants to support an entire arch of prosthetic teeth.
- Minimally invasive and requires fewer implants
- Provides a full set of teeth in a shorter time
- Enhances chewing efficiency and speech clarity
Implant-Supported Dentures
Unlike traditional dentures that rest on the gums, implant-supported dentures are anchored to dental implants for added stability and comfort. They can be removable or fixed, depending on the patient’s preference.
- Prevents slipping or shifting of dentures
- Improves speech and chewing ability
- Provides better comfort compared to conventional dentures
Teeth-In-A-Day Full Arch Dental Implants
Teeth in a Day is an innovative dental implant procedure that allows patients to receive a full set of functional, natural-looking teeth in a single visit. This technique involves placing multiple dental implants into the jawbone and attaching a temporary fixed bridge on the same day.
- Ideal for patients with failing teeth, dentures, or significant tooth loss who want an immediate transformation.
- Restores chewing function and speech but also provides a dramatic improvement in appearance and confidence.
- Transformative treatment completed in one day with Dr Rishi
Meet The Dentist
Dr Rishi Patel
Associate Dentist / Dental Implant Surgeon
Rishi, originally from London, joined BDC in 2021. He brings a wealth of experience in delivering high-quality implant and restorative treatments and holds a Master’s degree with Distinction in Dental Implantology. Outside of work, Rishi enjoys travelling with his family, exploring new and diverse cuisines, and heading to the gym to stay active.
The Dental Implant Process
At Biggleswade Dental Centre our resident dental implants surgeon Dr Rishi Patel delivers all of our implant and restorative treatments. To achieve the amazing results offered by implants takes smart planning, tDr Rishi will first perform a CT scan of your teeth and jaw. These 3D images will allow him to check whether your jaw will provide the necessary stability to hold the implant and let him plan the perfect location for the implant.
A standard dental implant will exert considerable pressure on your jaw, so he may need to carry out a bone graft in preparation for the implant procedure. This will strengthen the bone and provide increased density.
The dental implant is placed into the jawbone during a minor surgical procedure under local anaesthetic. The implant acts as an artificial tooth root and is positioned with precision to ensure long-term stability. Most patients find the procedure comfortable, with minimal discomfort during and after treatment.

Which Solution is Best for You?
The answer is simple if you only have a single missing tooth. When multiple teeth are missing, the choice may not be so straightforward. When asked which they would prefer, most people would almost certainly opt for non-removable teeth, such as an implant crown or bridge. However, when all natural teeth are missing, an implant-retained denture can be a very cost-effective solution that provides a high level of satisfaction.
An implant-retained denture will improve biting strength compared to an ordinary denture, although it won’t be as strong as an implant crown or bridge. But it is affordable, and the resulting implant-retained denture will look and feel good. It can also be simpler to care for as it is removable.
