What is Invisalign®?
Invisalign is an advanced orthodontic treatment that employs a series of custom-made, transparent aligners to gradually shift your teeth into their optimal positions. These aligners are nearly invisible, so most people won't even realise you're wearing them. Additionally, they are removable, allowing you to enjoy all your favourite foods and maintain your regular oral hygiene routine without any inconvenience.

Are dental implants painful?Most patients experience minimal discomfort during and after the dental implant procedure. Local anesthesia is used during the surgery to numb the area, ensuring you don't feel pain during the process. Post-operative discomfort varies among individuals but is generally mild and can be managed with over-the-counter pain medications. Many patients report that the discomfort is less than anticipated.
-
Are dental implants safe?Yes, dental implants are considered a safe and reliable treatment for replacing missing teeth. They have been used successfully for decades and have high success rates. However, as with any surgical procedure, there are potential risks and complications, such as infection, injury to adjacent teeth, or nerve damage. These risks are minimised when the procedure is performed by an experienced dental professional and when patients follow post-operative care instructions diligently.
-
What do dental implants look like?Dental implants are designed to look and function like natural teeth. The implant itself is a small titanium post inserted into the jawbone, acting as a tooth root. An abutment is then attached to the implant, and a custom-made crown is placed on top. The crown is made to match the color, shape, and size of your natural teeth, resulting in a seamless and natural appearance.
-
What do dental implants cost?The cost of dental implants can vary depending on several factors, including the number of implants needed, the complexity of the case, and the materials used. At Westerham Dental Care the cost for a single dental implant typically starts from £2,650.
FAQs
What our patients say
“ For most of my life I wasn’t happy with my teeth, but I always felt that achieving my dream of having beautiful teeth was out of reach! I should have worn braces when I was younger, but back then there was a real stigma about it, and so It’s something I just continued to push against.
From meeting with Ame, she made me feel that having straight and white teeth was something that I could achieve, and with her hard work and patience created a plan with me to achieve just that. I knew that it was bringing me one step closer to my dream.
I now am so proud and so thrilled to have the most amazing straight and white teeth! 😊 I also now smile with my teeth and I’m no longer hiding from doing that.
If you were ever considering teeth straightening with Invisalign, trust me when I say it’s the best thing I’ve done, and I only wish I had done it years ago. And if affordability is an issue for you, there are lots of plans and options to look at which might help. So go for it and good luck! x ”
