| Description: | Dental implants will give you a long lasting confident smile and they are much more secure than dentures. A dental implant is a small titanium screw which is placed into the bone as a secure and permanent foundation for a tooth crown to be fitted. This is a complex treatment which requires an initial examination to assess whether your underlying bone structure is suitable for an implant. This will include x-rays or a CT Scan to determine the position of the implant and our dentist will discuss the treatment procedure and present you with a treatment plan.

The next stage involves the titanium screw to be fitted and this is usually carried out after a local anaesthetic but intravenous sedation can also be an option for you. The implant will then require time to integrate with the bone before the final stage where the crown is placed onto the abutment. The dental implant treatment usually takes approximately three weeks from the examination to fitting a temporary crown. After approximately three months the dentist will check to ensure the implant is secure within the bone and then instruct a dental technician to fabricatethe final crown.
There are many benefits of having a dental implant compared with a denture. They look, feel and function like real teeth and they do not need to be removed like dentures. They are also strong, long lasting and can be colour matched to the natural shade of the rest of your teeth. |
