Change Your Life With Dental Implants At Elmfield House Dental.
Dental implants are a sophisticated solution for people who have suffered tooth loss.
Losing teeth can affect your confidence and it can affect the way you speak, look and eat. By opting for the latest in advanced dentistry, you can restore your natural smile along with your confidence and the ability to eat any food you wish.
Dental implants are small, precision engineered devices made from very pure titanium. They are made to replicate a natural tooth root, and are used to support one tooth, or many teeth depending on your dental needs. They are placed deep within the gums and jaw, providing an incredibly sturdy and secure base for a crown.
Unlike dentures, dental implants are designed to be a permanent addition to your mouth. When correctly bonded with the jawbone and if the simple maintenance regimen is followed, your implants could well last you for life.
Before implants can be placed you will have a consultation at Elmfield House Dental in Teddington to discuss your suitability for treatment, to explain the process with you and to answer any questions you may have.
Diagnostics like X-rays and scans are also used to check the health of the jawbone to see if you're a good candidate for the procedure.
When the implants are placed, a process called Osseointegration happens, where the jawbone and implant fuse together over a number of weeks or months. If the jawbone is not healthy enough it may be that you need preparatory procedures such as a bone graft in order to proceed, or we may need to suggest alternative tooth loss treatments to you. However, many patients are suitable without the need for any additional preparatory work.
Once a treatment plan has been agreed we will arrange separate visits to complete the treatment in different stages. This will include preparing the jawbone, placing the implants (1) and checking the implants for bonding (2). All of these stages use local anaesthetic along with sedation options for patients who may be particularly anxious. The final appointment will involve checking the implants have bonded, and then placing the natural looking crowns for a complete and effective tooth restoration (3+4).
Dental implants look incredibly natural, and they can feel as though they have always been part of your smile. They are an advanced solution for anybody struggling with the negative side-effects of losing a tooth.
Using the very best materials, proper techniques and skilled placement by one of our experienced implant dentists, together with the correct maintenance by the patient, dental implants are permanent, long lasting and with excellent success rates.
