Dental Implants

Dental implants are a revolutionary solution for replacing missing teeth. With their natural look and feel, implants provide a long-lasting and reliable option that can enhance your oral health and overall well-being.

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that are placed in your jawbone to support replacement teeth or bridges. They’re a great option if you’re missing one or more teeth and want a long-lasting solution. The implants are made of titanium, which is a strong and biocompatible material. They fuse with your jawbone over time, providing a stable foundation for the replacement teeth.

First, you’ll have an initial consultation with one of our dentists who will assess your oral health and discuss your treatment options. You will then create a personalized treatment plan together based on your specific needs and goals.
Once the treatment plan is finalized, the next step is the surgical placement of the implant. This is usually done under local anaesthesia to ensure your comfort. The dentist will make a small incision in your gum to access the jawbone and carefully place the implant into the bone. The implant acts as a replacement for the tooth root.
After the implant is placed, a healing period is necessary to allow the implant to fuse with the jawbone. This process is called osseointegration and usually takes a few months. During this time, the bone grows around the implant, providing a stable foundation for the replacement tooth.
Once osseointegration is complete, the dentist will attach an abutment to the implant. The abutment serves as a connector between the implant and the replacement tooth.
Finally, a custom-made crown, which looks and functions like a natural tooth, is placed on top of the abutment. The crown is designed to match the colour and shape of your surrounding teeth, ensuring a seamless and natural-looking smile.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you get more than one dental implant?

Yes. Dental implants are a great option for replacing missing teeth, and they can be used to replace a single tooth, multiple teeth, or even a full arch of teeth.

Can anyone get a dental implant?

In general, most people can get dental implants. However, there are a few factors that your dentist will consider to determine if you are a suitable candidate. These factors include the health of your gums and jawbone, as well as your overall oral health.

Is the procedure painful?

During the dental implant procedure, our dentist will ensure that you are comfortable and pain-free. They will use local anaesthesia to numb the area before placing the implant. While you may feel some pressure or minor discomfort during the procedure, it is well-tolerated. After the procedure, you may experience some mild soreness or swelling, but your dentist will provide you with instructions on how to manage any post-operative discomfort.

How long is the healing process for dental implants?

The healing process for dental implants can vary from person to person. In general, it takes several months for the implant to fully integrate with the jawbone. During this time, the bone will grow around the implant. However, keep in mind that this is just a general timeline, and your specific healing process may be different. Just remember to follow our dentist’s advice for successful healing.
