  • It’s not always about just one treatment.

This smile needed a plan that covered everything: Invisalign to straighten the teeth, whitening to brighten the smile, and an implant finished with a beautiful new crown to replace a missing tooth 🦷

The implant has healed beautifully, and with Invisalign almost complete, everything is coming together exactly as planned.

Because the best results start with a treatment plan designed around all your needs. 🤍

Book your consultation with Edinburgh Gums and Teeth to find out what’s possible for your smile.

  • A dental implant isn't simply a procedure with a finish line.

Once the implant has been placed and restored, long-term maintenance becomes an important part of protecting your investment.

Over the years, your dental team should be monitoring the health of the tissues around the implant, the restoration, your bite, your oral hygiene and any changes that could indicate a problem.

That's why we believe there's an important question to ask before starting implant treatment:

“Who will look after my implant in the years to come?”

At our practice, implant care doesn't stop once the crown is fitted.

We provide both implant treatment and ongoing care, so your implant can remain part of your continuing dental care.

PLAN → PLACE → RESTORE → MONITOR → MAINTAIN → SUPPORT

Because good implant dentistry isn't just about placing an implant.

It's about looking after it for the years that follow.
