Our treatments
Our treatment list boasts:
Dental implants and All-on-4:dental implants are a long-term option suitable for patents with one or more missing teeth. Implants replace the tooth root and they are secured into the jaw bone tissue. They are then connected to a bridge, denture or crown. As well as traditional implants, we are delighted to offer All-on-4, a same-day implant treatment that uses four implants to anchor a full arch of new teeth.
Dentures and implant-retained dentures:dentures are sets of false teeth designed to look like natural teeth. They are secured by the suction power of the gums and the treatment process is quick and simple. Dentures are an affordable option for patients with several missing teeth or a full arch of lost teeth. We also offer implant-retained dentures, which offer the benefits of dentures and dental implants. These dentures enjoy enhanced security for increased bite power, natural aesthetics and peace of mind.
Dental bridges: bridges are a very popular option for patients who have a single missing tooth. The traditional fixed bridge, the most common type of bridge, is made from a false tooth with crown on each side for support. Many people choose to have a ceramic bridge that blends in with the natural teeth for a seamless aesthetic. Bridge treatment can be completed within 2-3 weeks and a bridge should last up to 15 years.
We offer a range of tooth replacement treatments for patients of all ages. If you have a single missing tooth or multiple missing teeth, we can help you to find an effective solution and enable you to enjoy a healthy, confident smile for 2015.

Our treatment options include:
dental bridges
dentures and implant-retained dentures

Dental bridges
Dental bridges are commonly used to replace a single missing tooth. They are usually made of a false tooth that is attached to a new crown on either side. Bridges can be made from ceramic or metals, and porcelain bridges are very popular because they provide natural aesthetics. The treatment process is simple and bridges usually last up to 15 years.
Dentures
Dentures are sets of false teeth that are designed to take on the responsibilities of lost natural teeth. We provide complete and partial dentures, both of which are tailor-made for the individual. Modern dentures are aesthetically pleasing, comfortable and functional and they offer a more affordable alternative to dental implants for patients with multiple missing teeth. We also provide implant-retained dentures. These dentures are anchored by dental implants.
Dental implants
Dental implants are a modern solution for tooth loss. These small screw-like appliances are made from titanium and placed inside tiny openings in the jawbone to replacing missing tooth roots. Once the implants have settled, they are then attached to a new restoration. Implants are wonderfully versatile because they can be connected to crowns, bridges and dentures. Implants are designed to last a lifetime and they are very easy to look after.
We are proud to offer terrific tooth replacements for patients in Chepstow and beyond. If gaps are getting you down this winter, we can restore your smile and your confidence so that you’re ready and raring to go for the festive season.
The benefits of replacing missing teeth
Missing teeth can contribute to a host of problems in the mouth, from an increased risk of oral disease and movement of the remaining teeth to poor aesthetics, reduced confidence and impaired speech and chewing ability. With natural looking restorative treatments, we are able to combat potential issues and create healthy looking, functional smiles, which will also contribute to increased confidence and self-esteem.
Which is the best option for me?
We offer a range of tooth replacements including dentures, dental implants and dental bridges. There are pros and cons of each treatment and we can go through these and discuss the different treatments and how they work when you have a consultation. In some cases, there is a clear favourite due to the nature of a patient’s dental needs, while in others, a range of options may be suitable and patients have more choice.
Dental bridges are generally recommended for a single missing tooth, while implants and dentures are suitable for patients with multiple missing teeth. Implants offer longevity, function and convenience, as they are very easy to look after and they last a lifetime, but they are the most expensive option.
When you have your consultation, your dentist will assess your dental needs and they can then discuss your options, answer your questions and explain how each treatment could be of benefit to you. We can consider a number of factors when we are planning your treatment, including treatment time, cost and preferences.

Our treatments
Dental bridges: dental bridges are a popular choice for patients who are looking for a simple and affordable solution for a single missing tooth. Bridges are most commonly made from a false tooth that is connected to a new crown on either side. Bridges can be made from porcelain to ensure a natural result, and they usually last for around 10-15 years. Treatment usually involves 2 sessions around 2-3 weeks apart.
Dentures: dentures are commonly used to replace full sets of missing teeth, but we also offer partial dentures for those with fewer gaps. Dentures are designed to look and function like natural teeth, and modern styles are very aesthetically pleasing. Dentures are more affordable than dental implants and the treatment time is much shorter. Dentures are custom-made for the individual and we check the fit and the condition of the denture every time you have a routine check-up.
Dental implants: dental implants are made from titanium. They are small, screw-like appliances, and are inserted directly into openings in the jaw bone. The implants replace the root of the tooth and the crown, bridge or denture replaces the visible part of the missing tooth. Implants are built to last a lifetime, and they provide the same standard of functionality as natural teeth. They can be used to replace any number of lost teeth and are suitable for patients of all ages.
At Clifton Dental Studio, we are proud to offer our clients a variety of treatment options, including the latest tooth replacement treatments. If you’re suffering from a missing tooth or you’ve lost multiple teeth, we have the perfect treatments to restore your smile, boost your confidence and enable you to enjoy all your favourite foods again.
Our treatments include dental bridges, implants and modern dentures.
Dental bridges
A very popular solution for patients with a single missing tooth, we usually complete dental bridge treatment in two sessions over a period of 2 weeks. Bridges are usually made from an artificial tooth, which is fused to a crown on each side of the gap. We like to recommend ceramic bridges as they blend in perfectly with the natural tooth shade, so you can’t differentiate between the false tooth and the natural teeth. Bridges should last for around 10-15 years.
Dentures
Dentures are an excellent option for patients that have a large number of missing teeth. They are a tried and tested means of replacing missing teeth and they enable you to enjoy a healthy and natural looking smile, as well as strong, functional teeth. We offer partial and full dentures and we use the finest materials to create amazing, durable dentures.
Dental implants
Dental implants are a modern solution for missing teeth, as the aim of the implant is to replace the tooth root. The implant is secured into a socket in the jaw bone and it then integrates into the bone tissue. Once it has gone through this process, it can then be joined onto a bridge, crown or denture and treatment is complete. The tooth will look completely natural and as it is anchored in the same way as a natural tooth, you can enjoy greater bite power and increased stability.
Whatever your tooth replacement needs, we are here to help! Call us now to arrange your consultation.

Treatments we offer
We have a range of options available for patients of all ages with single or multiple missing teeth, including dental implants, dentures and dental bridges.
Dental bridges
Dental bridges are intended to bridge the gap between two teeth when the middle tooth has been lost. Bridges are an affordable, long-lasting solution to tooth loss and the treatment process is simple, painless and quick. With dental bridge treatment, you can have a new tooth and a complete, healthy-looking smile within 2 weeks. Bridges can be made from different materials including metals and ceramics. Porcelain bridges are very popular because they produce the most natural looking aesthetics. Bridges should last for around 10-15 years.
Dentures
Dentures provide a solution for patients with multiple missing teeth and we provide partial and complete dentures. Dentures are a tried and tested method and modern dentures are highly functional and aesthetically pleasing. Our dentures are made from high grade materials and they are crafted with care for the best fit.
Dental implants
Dental implants are a relatively new concept in tooth replacement and they have taken the field of dentistry by storm. Implants are designed as a replacement for the tooth root and they are placed in sockets in the jaw bone. When they have fused the bone tissue they are then attached to a denture, crown or dental bridge to replace the rest of the tooth. Implants last for a long time and they require minimal maintenance. They are the closest match to natural teeth and they offer a solution for patients with a single, several or an entire arch of missing teeth.
