Dental implants have revolutionized the way we approach tooth loss. They offer a durable and aesthetically pleasing solution that can restore your confidence and oral function.
In this blog post, we'll delve into the world of dental implants, exploring what they are, how they work, and the benefits they offer.
What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are titanium screws which are placed into the jawbone to replace missing teeth. These biocompatible screws act as artificial roots, providing a stable foundation for crowns, bridges, or dentures. Over time, the jawbone fuses with the implant in a process called osseointegration, creating a strong and lasting bond.
We are a straumann PLATINUM provider .
Straumann dental implants are a worldwide leading brand; known for excellence, innovation and quality in their tooth replacement solutions. The implants are made from titanium (backed by 30 years scientific evidence) and are high strength and biocompatible, with a lifetime guarantee.
How Do Dental Implants Work?
The dental implant process typically involves several stages:
1)Consultation: A thorough examination is conducted to determine if you are a suitable candidate for dental implants.
We carry out your CBCT x-ray onsite, which means no additional referrals or appointments and an on the day report.
2)Keyhole Placement: The implant is placed into the jawbone using keyhole surgery.
You will leave your appointment with everything you need to ensure you have a quick and painless recovery.
Our implant aftercare pack includes:
-Surgical toothbrush -Pain relief
-Cold pack -Written instructions
- Surgical mouthwash - Emergency contact details
3)Osseointegration and healing: The implant fuses with the jawbone, a process that usually takes 6-8 weeks. This is a crucial phase of the implant process, as it ensures the implant is stable before we load it with a restoration. We also use ostell beacon, a piece of technology which allows us to confirm stability of your implant with certainty.
4)Restoration: The final restoration, such as a crown, bridge, or denture; is screwed into the implant(s). You leave feeling confident with your new Allsopp smile!
