At New Ash Green Dental & Aesthetics, we offer dental implants as a permanent solution for missing teeth.
These replacements for tooth roots are surgically placed into the jawbone, providing a strong foundation for natural-looking, functional replacement teeth that restore your smile.
Dental implants are performed by our experienced dentists who specialise in restorative dentistry. The procedure begins with a thorough consultation and examination to assess your oral health and suitability for implants.
If you are considered a good candidate, the dentist will surgically place a titanium post into the jawbone where the missing tooth root would be. Over several months, the post will fuse with the bone in a process called osseointegration.
Once the post is stable, a custom-made crown is placed on top to complete the restoration. The entire process typically takes several months, but the results are long-lasting, providing a strong and natural-looking replacement for missing teeth.
Restore your smile with dental implants at New Ash Green Dental & Aesthetics for a long-lasting, natural looking solution to missing teeth.
- Natural Appearance: Implants blend seamlessly with your natural teeth, providing a discreet, aesthetically pleasing solution for missing teeth.
- Improved Functionality: Dental implants restore full chewing function, allowing you to eat comfortably without restrictions or discomfort.
- Durability: Made from titanium, implants are highly durable and can last for decades with proper care and maintenance.
- Preserves Jawbone Health: Implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss that often occurs with missing teeth, maintaining facial structure.
After dental implant placement, you’ll see immediate improvement in function as the implant provides a stable foundation for a replacement tooth. However, the process takes several months for the implant to integrate with the jawbone (osseointegration).
The final restoration, a custom crown, is placed once the implant is securely integrated. Dental implants are highly durable, lasting 20+ years or even a lifetime with proper care.
Routine check-ups are important for monitoring implant health, but the treatment itself doesn’t typically need to be repeated. Maintaining good oral hygiene and visiting your dentist every 6-12 months helps ensure the long-term success of your implants.
FAQs
Who is suitable for dental implants?
Dental implants are suitable for individuals with missing teeth who have healthy gums and sufficient jawbone to support the implant. Good overall health is important, as conditions like uncontrolled diabetes or smoking may affect healing.
Your dentist will assess your oral health through a detailed examination, which may include X-rays, to determine if implants are the right option. In some cases, bone grafting may be recommended if there isn’t enough bone to support the implant.
Are dental implants painful?
Dental implants are generally not painful, as the procedure is performed under local anaesthesia to numb the area. Most patients report only mild discomfort during and after the procedure, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain relief.
After the implant is placed, there may be some swelling or soreness, but these symptoms typically subside within a few days. The healing process varies, but your dentist will provide pain management instructions to ensure a smooth recovery.
How long do I need to wait to have the crown fitted?
After the dental implant is placed, a healing period of 3-6 months is typically required to allow the implant to fully fuse with the jawbone (osseointegration). During this time, a temporary restoration may be used.
Once the implant is securely integrated, your dentist will fit a custom-made crown to complete the restoration. The exact timeline can vary based on individual healing, but your dentist will monitor the process to ensure everything is progressing smoothly.
