Dental Implants

Dental implants are permanent replacements for missing teeth. They consist of a titanium post which acts as an artificial root, topped with a natural-looking crown for a secure and long-lasting solution.

Have You Just Had A Tooth Extracted And Would Like It Replacing?

A dental implant allows single or multiple teeth to be replaced – unlike a bridge there is no additional force placed upon adjacent teeth.

The best time to start the process of having a tooth replaced is 8 weeks after it has been extracted. From this point forward the level of the bone starts to decrease, possibly making it more difficult and expensive to place an implant.

On completion they will advise you on any different treatment options, including the advantages and disadvantages. They will take time to explain the procedure to you – so you understand what will happen at future appointments. A full written quotation will be provided.

With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime. The crown on top may need replacement after 10–15 years, but the implant itself is designed to be a permanent solution.

The procedure is performed under local anesthesia, so you won’t feel pain during the surgery. Some mild discomfort or swelling may occur afterward, but this usually subsides within a few days.

Most people with healthy gums and sufficient jawbone density can get dental implants. Your dentist will assess your oral health and may recommend bone grafting if needed.
