What exactly is an implant?
A dental implant is a tiny titanium screw that functions as a substitute for the missing tooth's root. Implants are placed in the jawbone of the upper or lower jaw, where they fuse with the bone and function as an anchor for the replacement tooth. Dental implants can replace a single absent tooth or multiple teeth. Replacement teeth supported by dental implants appear, feel, and function like natural teeth. Dental implants are a well-established restorative option with a lengthy clinical track record. Dental implants preserve the facial structure and alleviate the discomfort associated with tooth loss.
Who qualifies for dental implants?
A dental implant is for individuals who are lacking one or more teeth. If you're missing teeth due to injury, disease, or decay, you may be a candidate for dental implants. Dental implants in conjunction with a crown or bridge can replace one, several, or all missing teeth. On occasion, elderly patients express concern that their age may preclude them from reaping the benefits of dental implants. However, health is a more significant determinant than age. If you are healthy enough for a tooth extraction, you are likely healthy enough for dental implants. After a thorough review of your dental and medical health history, your dentist will determine whether you are a candidate for dental implants. Currently, all queries regarding dental implants can be answered.
Is there pain or discomfort associated with dental implant surgery?
Most dental implant patients report that there is minimal discomfort and that they were much more comfortable than anticipated following the procedure. Implants from the Brnemark System, Replace, and Steri-Oss are placed with extreme care and consideration for the numerous tissues involved. During the implant procedure, anaesthesia and sedation are used to eradicate any discomfort. Your dentist may recommend that you communicate with a patient who has previously undergone tooth replacement therapy to learn about their experience.

It is my 3rd time going to see Laura, first time Laura was so helpful, I was very nervous and worried, have had a lot of work done she always reassured me, I'm so glad I listened to her !, I have beautiful teeth and I could not be happier I didn't think it was possible to have a lovely smile ? still continuing with her, she is so lovely and caring and professional, also Sarah too and rest of girls. Thanks so much.
Dr. Laura Fee and the entire team are amazing, so friendly throughout and really reassuring! I recently had a wisdom tooth extraction under sedation and didn’t feel a thing. Everything was explained very clearly and I felt totally comfortable - would recommend this dental practice to anyone, they really do go above and beyond!
After a number of years away from the dentist I bit the bullet and went and so happy I did, Dr. Laura and her team made me feel so relaxed and they provided top-quality service. I didn't even realize the job had been done and to top it off best prices around highly recommended
Visited the clinic myself for the first time today along with my son who was having his first visit to the dentist too. We had a really great experience, Dr. Fee and all of the staff were so friendly, it was a really positive experience! My son even said he had a brilliant time, so that speaks for itself! I would highly recommend the clinic and delighted to have this service in the community!
I don't normally leave reviews but wanted to say thanks so much to Dr Laura for her great work this weekend. I'm quite a nervous patient but she had me completely at ease for my treatment this morning. Also highly recommend for children - her and the nurses were fantastic with my son and his teddy Justin Beaver! They went above and beyond in making sure he had a great experience! he's now so excited for his next six month check and I'm thrilled he won't be growing up with a fear of the dentist! Thanks again!
I couldn't recommend Dr Laura Fee & the Smile Hub Dental Clinic enough. Top class service from someone that previously had a fear of the dentist 🤜 🤛
Couldn’t recommend Dr Laura enough, amazing work done throughout the clear braces process and couldn’t be happier with the results.
My daughter had an accident late at night. When I phoned that night they were able to get her in at 07.30 the next morning. All friendly and helpful staff. Very happy with the dental work care carried out. Would highly recommend.
The team were fantastic. They saw me on Paddys Day for an emergency. Life savers and so friendly. My dentist was incredible. Thank you all!
