DENTAL IMPLANTS
Dental implants are a revolutionary solution for replacing missing teeth, offering a permanent and natural-looking alternative to dentures and bridges. At our dental practice, we specialize in providing high-quality dental implants to restore your smile and improve your oral health. Here's what you need to know about dental implants:
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone to serve as artificial tooth roots. Once the implants have integrated with the bone, they provide a stable foundation for attaching replacement teeth, such as crowns, bridges, or dentures.
Benefits of Dental Implants
Natural Appearance: Implants look and feel like natural teeth, providing a seamless and aesthetically pleasing result.
Durability: With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime, making them a long-term investment in your oral health.
Improved Functionality: Implants restore full chewing and speaking capabilities, allowing you to enjoy your favorite foods and speak with confidence.
Bone Preservation: Implants help prevent bone loss in the jaw, maintaining the structure and integrity of your facial features.
Comfort and Convenience: Unlike removable dentures, implants are fixed in place, eliminating the discomfort and inconvenience of removable prosthetics.
The Dental Implant Process
Consultation and Planning: During your initial consultation, our dental professionals will assess your oral health and create a personalized treatment plan.
Implant Placement: The titanium posts are surgically placed by our specialist oral implant surgeon. The implants are then left to integrate with the bone over a period of two months.
Abutment Placement: Once the implants have fully integrated, abutments (connectors) are attached to the implants to hold the replacement teeth at Putney utilising our specialist technician.
Restoration: Custom-made crowns, bridges, or dentures are securely attached to the abutments, completing the restoration process and giving you a beautiful, functional smile.
Aftercare and Maintenance
Proper care and maintenance are essential to ensure the longevity of your dental implants. We recommend:
Good Oral Hygiene: Brush and floss regularly to keep your implants and surrounding tissues clean.
Regular Dental Check-Ups: Visit us for routine check-ups and professional cleanings to monitor the health of your implants.
Healthy Lifestyle: Avoid smoking and excessive alcohol consumption, as these can negatively impact the success of your implants.
