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.

Losing 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.
