Unlike dentures or bridges that may need replacing over time, dental implants are designed to last for many years — often decades — with the right care. For Jersey residents looking for a reliable, low-maintenance solution to missing teeth, implants offer a level of stability and permanence that no other treatment can match.

One of the most significant advantages of implants over traditional bridges is that neighbouring teeth are left completely untouched. There's no grinding down of healthy teeth, no alteration to your natural smile — just a seamless replacement that sits and functions exactly like the real thing.

Dental implants have success rates exceeding 95%, making them one of the most reliable and well-researched treatments in modern dentistry. At New Street Dental, every implant placement is carried out by our experienced clinical team here in St Helier, giving Jersey patients access to specialist-level care.

Implants don't just look like natural teeth — they work like them too. You'll be able to eat, chew, speak, and bite with complete confidence, without the discomfort or movement sometimes associated with dentures. Most patients tell us it's the closest thing to having their own teeth back.

There is a small risk of failure, typically between 1-5%. Should this occur, the implant can usually be replaced after a healing period.

Adjacent teeth, nerves, or sinus spaces may occasionally be affected, but careful planning significantly reduces this risk.

Excessive forces on implants can cause parts to fracture, although this is uncommon with proper care.

Gums around implants may recede, potentially affecting aesthetics and requiring additional hygiene or corrective treatments.
