What You Didn’t Know About Dental Implants

Wednesday, November 2nd, 2016

Dental implantsIf you’re not familiar with advances in the world of dentistry, you may never have even heard of dental implants. If you have missing teeth, learning about implants could be the best thing you ever do. These revolutionary dental devices have already changed thousands of lives. You could be next! If you’re unfamiliar with dental implants, here is some information you may find useful.

What exactly is a dental implant?

A dental implant is a prosthetic device made from titanium. Implants are placed inside sockets in the jawbone; titanium is used because it is a biocompatible material. This enables the implant to integrate into the bone tissue. The implant takes on the role of the tooth root. Once it is in place, it anchors the tooth, enabling you to enjoy a healthy new smile.

Implants are the most versatile tooth replacement treatment out there

If you’re not up to speed with implants, you may not realise that they are the most versatile tooth replacement treatment out there. Unlike bridges and dentures, dental implants are suitable for most patients with missing teeth. An implant is compatible with different types of restoration. This means that you can benefit from implants whether you’re missing a single tooth or several teeth. Once the implant has integrated into the bone, it can be attached to a crown, bridge or denture.

Implants are built to last

Implants may be the most expensive way of replacing natural teeth. But they also offer the best value for money. This is because they are built to last for several years. Bridges and dentures are both temporary solutions. With implants, you can rest assured that your beautiful new smile will last.

Implant treatment can change your life overnight

Implants really can change your life and with systems like All-on-4, you can enjoy an overnight transformation. This innovative treatment replaces missing teeth in a single session, so you don’t have to wait to show off your new smile. All-on-4 uses four implants to anchor an entire arch of new teeth. If you have multiple missing teeth and you’re eager for rapid results, this could be the solution you’ve been searching for. Ask our friendly team for more details!

You Could Have New Teeth in One Day!

Tuesday, October 4th, 2016

iStock_000001998629XSmallNo one likes dealing with missing or broken teeth and replacing a whole set is itself a whole set of nightmares. Dentures, the age old way of replacing groups of teeth, have a renowned history of problems:  slippage, clumsy speech and difficulty chewing, to name a few. Dental implants, however, operate just like normal teeth and now, with All-on-4 implants, you can have these magnificent tooth replacements fitted in a fraction of the time.

First up, what is a dental implant?

A dental implant is essentially a false tooth anchored to your jaw via a small metal rod. They can be detached, but will not slip or cause problems in the same way that dentures do. They operate just like normal teeth.

What is All-on-4?

Typically, replacing a whole set of teeth would require between six and ten implants to get the job done. With All-on-4 implants, as the name implies, only four implants are needed to replace the set.

What are the plus points of All-on-4 implants?

Well, firstly, the treatment is less invasive than conventional implant surgery and, also unlike conventional implants, there is less of a chance that bone grafting will be required. The design of All-on-4 implants works with existing bone structure and, in the case of areas lacking bone height, special implants can be used to compensate. It is also less time consuming; the new teeth can be fitted on the same day as the implants themselves, meaning you can get back to smiling the day you leave the dentist. There is also a quicker healing time for All-on-4 implants.

How does it work?

As with standard implant surgery, the two front implants are placed at a 90 degree angle. The clever bit, however, is that the two implants at the back are positioned at 45 degree angles! This nifty arrangement provides all the support and anchorage that a good set of implants need.

Throw Away Loose Dentures and Say Hello to Implants!

Friday, September 16th, 2016

3177025_blogDentures have served people well for decades, but they are not always completely trouble-free and if you’ve had issues with dentures and are looking for an alternative, we may have just the treatment you’ve been searching for. Dental implants are becoming increasingly popular and they offer a long-term solution for tooth loss and a remedy for many of the problems commonly experienced by denture wearers.

Everything you need to know about dental implants

Dental implants are revolutionary dental treatment that is fast becoming the treatment of choice for patients who have lost a single tooth or multiple teeth. Implants are made from titanium and they look similar to a small screw. They are implanted into the jaw bone as a means of replacing the root of the missing tooth. Titanium is used because it is strong and it is also biocompatible, which allows the tooth to integrate into the bone. This means that the new root can provide the same level of stability as a natural root.

Once the tooth root has been replaced, we can then set about replacing the visible part of the tooth. Implants are compatible with dentures, dental bridges and single crowns, so we can use them to replace single teeth or multiple teeth. Once the new restoration has been attached, your new smile will be complete and you can enjoy the same aesthetics and level of functionality as you had before with your natural teeth.

How long does implant treatment take?

Usually, implant treatment takes a few months, as it takes time for the implants to integrate. However, we are able to offer All-on-4 treatment, which is a same-day treatment suitable for patients who require a large number of new teeth. Call us now to arrange a consultation and discuss options with our friendly and experienced dentists.

Get Your Smile Back for the New Year with Dental Implants

Wednesday, December 16th, 2015

2433646_sThe best way to start a New Year is with a beaming, bright smile on your face and with our dental implants, we can ensure you start 2016 in style. Dental implants are designed to replace the root section of a missing tooth. Implants are a long-term solution for tooth loss and are a viable option for most patients with missing teeth.

Everything you need to know about dental implants

Dental implants are rods made from titanium. They are implanted into the jawbone to take on the role of the missing tooth root. Titanium is used because it is a bio-compatible material. This enables the implant to fuse into the actual bone tissue, providing optimum stability for the new tooth. The process of osseointegration can take up to 8 months and once this is complete, the head of the implant is attached to a dental bridge, crown or denture and the crown section, the visible part of the tooth, is replaced.

Implant treatment is suited to many people with missing teeth. As implants are compatible with a range of different types of restoration, they can be used to replace a single lost tooth or multiple teeth.

How could implants benefit me?

There are countless benefits of replacing missing teeth, from improved oral health and clearer speech, to improved ability to eat and the obvious aesthetic benefits of a healthy looking, beautiful smile. Implants are a long-term solution and represent a long-term investment.

With implants, you will feel and look like you have your natural teeth back and you can enjoy greater confidence when you smile, speak or eat in public.

3177025_blogIt’s understandable to assume that it takes time to transform a smile, but our team can create amazing new smiles in just one visit. One of our most impressive services is a life-changing same day teeth treatment known as All-on-4.

What is All-on-4?

All-on-4 treatment is designed to offer rapid results for patients with entire arches of missing teeth. Usually, implant treatment takes several months, but with this system you can enjoy a brand new smile in just one day.

All-on-4 is different to traditional implant treatment because it uses just four implants to secure a full arch of prosthetic teeth. The alternative implant procedure requires between 6 and 10 implants. This treatment uses fewer implants because we place the implants so they take full advantage of the jaw’s densest bone tissue. Two implants sit at the front of the mouth, whilst the other two sit at the back. We place traditional implants at 90 degree angles, but the back All-on-4 implants sit at 45 degree angles for maximum anchorage.

Who is the ideal candidate for All-on-4 treatment?

All-on-4 is suitable for patients with large numbers of missing teeth who are looking for a swift alternative to traditional implants. We also recommend the treatment as a secure and functional alternative to dentures.  All-on-4 resolves problems often raised by denture wearers. You can eat and smile with greater confidence and there’s no risk of irritation or the teeth slipping out of position.

To find out if All-on-4 if you’re a suitable candidate for All-on-4, call today to book a consultation. Our expert dentists will carry out the relevant tests and talk you through the procedure and highlight how it could benefit you.

About dental implants

Dental implants are the latest tooth replacement treatment on the market; they are designed to take on the responsibilities of the tooth root and they are compatible with a range of restorations, so they can be used to treat patients of all ages with varying dental needs.

Implants are made from titanium and they resemble small screws; the implant is secured into a socket in the jaw bone and once it has integrated into the bone tissue, the head of the implant is then attached to the restoration. Implants are compatible with bridges, dentures and crowns, so you can benefit if you have just one, a few or multiple missing teeth. The integration process, which ensures maximum stability for the new tooth, is known as osseointegration and it usually takes 3-6 months.

Once the restoration has been joined to the implant, your smile will look completely natural and your new teeth will function in the same way as healthy natural teeth. You can eat and enjoy a diverse range of foods, your speech will be clear and you can enjoy enhanced facial aesthetics, as the new teeth will provide additional support for your cheeks and lips.

As well as restoring the beauty of the smile and functionality of the mouth, dental implants can also help to reduce bone loss and they offer a long-term alternative to dentures and dental bridges.

What Are Osteocare Dental Implants In The Heart Of Leeds?

Tuesday, December 2nd, 2014

iStock_000001998629XSmallOsteoCare™ Implant System Ltd. is one of the world leaders when it comes to dental implantology and biotechnology. After being founded in 1999, the company has grown over the years to become top of its game in restoring missing teeth and stabilising loose dentures.

Why we use them

Osteocare boasts an impressive success rate as well as a number of benefits over competing dental implant systems. These include a simple and painless procedure, as unlike many other techniques the osteocare implants don’t require a flap of gum to be created in order to carry out the process. This reduces any after surgery complications to an absolute minimum. Another advantage of choosing osteocare dental implants is how much money you’ll save, as these implants are priced at half the amount of others on the market, making them extremely cost effective. This is down to the simplistic nature of the treatment and how little surgery time is required.

One of the features that makes the osteocare implants such a popular choice with patients is the ‘same day teeth’ design. In 75% of cases the implant can be immediately loaded with an aesthetically pleasing temporary crown, or in the instance of dentures, we can fit the denture onto the new implant right after you have surgery, making the process extremely convenient for clients. Dental implants also have a very high success rate of 90 to 95%, so patients can feel confident in their choice of treatment.

The Importance Of Replacing Missing Teeth In The City Of Leeds

Monday, December 1st, 2014

2433646_sAt City Dental Leeds our highly experienced surgeons are here to cater for patients who require treatment for missing teeth. When teeth are lost it is vital to replace them as soon as possible in order to minimise the stress that is placed on surrounding teeth, as these have to work harder to chew food. We are here to help you restore a beautiful smile as quickly as possible with the use of dental implants and techniques such as bone grafting.

What is a dental implant?

Dental implants are made from a titanium alloy and are fixed into your jawbone to replace the root of your tooth while supporting crowns or dentures. The procedure is painless and takes place under local anaesthetic. During the process a hole is made in your jawbone to perfectly accommodate the implant, then the implant is left to heal for up to 6 months. We provide you with temporary teeth during this time while the process of osseointegration – bone tissue growing around the implant – takes place. The procedure usually takes between 1-2 hours per implant and you may need a couple of days off work following your visit.

What is bone grafting?

For implant placement to be successful there needs to be a sufficient quantity of bone in the area, however in some patients this just isn’t the case, often because of how gums have healed following tooth extraction. To increase the amount of bone available simple grafting procedures are carried out using either endogenous bone or artificial substitutes. These techniques usually take place at the same time as implant placement.

Why choose implants?

In comparison to conventional methods such as dentures and bridges, dental implants offer better support, result in much more comfort and even help to slow down and prevent jawbone shrinkage. The success rate is high – between 90-95% – and if looked after properly dental implants can last forever. Despite coming at a higher cost than conventional treatments, they are definitely a worthwhile investment.

Dental implants in the centre of Leeds

Sunday, February 9th, 2014

2607696_blogLosing a tooth can be really distressing, especially if it is a front tooth. Missing teeth have an obvious impact on the look of the smile, but they can also contribute to issues related to your oral health, confidence and the way you carry out day to day activities, such as chewing your food. Thankfully, there are some really impressive tooth replacement treatments available now, including dental implants. Dental implants are the closest thing to natural teeth available at the moment; they are designed to replace the root of the missing tooth and are made to integrate fully into the actual jaw tissue, so that they can perform all the functions of a natural tooth. Implants are a life-changing treatment for patients of all ages, from those who have a single missing tooth as a result of an injury or accident, to those who have a large number of missing teeth. Once the implant has healed, it is then attached to a restoration; there are various options on offer to cater for patients with any number of missing teeth and once the crown, denture or bridge is in place, the smile will look amazing and full function will be restored to the mouth. Implants are not the cheapest option on offer, but they last much longer than the alternatives and they provide many benefits, from improved tooth function to amazing, natural looking smiles. Implant treatment usually takes several months, as it takes time for the implant to integrate into the jaw bone; however, there are other options available for those who are looking for instant results, such as the All-on-4 system.
