A Trusted Solution for Long-Lasting, Natural-Looking Tooth Replacement

At Union Quay Dental, we’re proud to offer advanced dental implant solutions using the Dentsply Sirona PrimeTaper system—a trusted and innovative implant designed to restore smiles with strength, precision, and long-term success.

Whether you’re missing a single tooth or several, PrimeTaper implants offer a stable, natural-looking replacement that feels just like your own teeth.

What Is a Dental Implant?

A dental implant is a small titanium screw that’s placed into the jawbone to replace the root of a missing tooth. Once healed, it supports a crown, bridge, or denture—providing a strong, permanent solution that doesn’t rely on neighbouring teeth.

Implants are widely recognised as the gold standard for tooth replacement due to their comfort, function, and ability to preserve bone health over time.

Why PrimeTaper?

PrimeTaper is one of the latest innovations from Dentsply Sirona, a global leader in dental technology. It’s a tapered implant system, meaning the implant gently narrows as it goes deeper into the bone—mimicking the shape of a natural tooth root.

This design allows for excellent primary stability, which is essential for successful healing and long-term strength. It also makes PrimeTaper a versatile option for patients with varying bone qualities or limited bone volume.

Key Benefits of PrimeTaper Implants

✅ High Stability – The tapered design helps the implant lock securely into place, allowing for more predictable healing and reduced risk of movement.

✅ Minimally Invasive Placement – PrimeTaper is designed for efficient and gentle placement, which can lead to less discomfort and quicker recovery.

✅ Natural Aesthetics – The system supports highly aesthetic crowns, so your replacement tooth looks and feels like it’s always been part of your smile.

✅ Long-Term Success – With high-quality materials and proven clinical outcomes, PrimeTaper implants offer excellent long-term results with proper care.

✅ Trusted Technology – Developed by Dentsply Sirona, a global leader in dental innovation, ensuring consistent quality and reliability.

What Is the Treatment Process?

  1. Consultation & Planning

     We begin with a detailed consultation, including 3D scans and digital planning, to assess your suitability and design a personalised treatment plan.

  2. Implant Placement

     The PrimeTaper implant is gently placed into the jawbone using precise, minimally invasive techniques. In some cases, a temporary tooth may be placed the same day.

  3. Healing Period

     The implant integrates with the bone over a few months (a process called osseointegration). This forms a strong, stable foundation for your final restoration.

  4. Restoration

     Once healed, we place a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture onto the implant, designed to match the rest of your smile perfectly.

Is PrimeTaper Right for Me?

Most adults in good general and oral health are suitable for dental implants. Even if you’ve been told in the past that you don’t have enough bone, the tapered design of PrimeTaper may allow for implant placement where others might not.

At Union Quay Dental, we use the latest digital planning tools and imaging technology to determine the best solution for you.
