Dental implants are the undisputed champion of tooth replacement and are the only tooth replacement element that can integrate organically with your anatomy, becoming a part of you once the healing process is complete. As a solution that mimics nature so closely, it’s no wonder why they provide the best chewing function and the most natural aesthetics.
Reasons for dental implants: Dental implants address the issue of tooth loss. Whether you’ve lost a tooth to injury, gum disease, decay, trauma or illness, implants can be inserted to fill the gap, providing a tooth replacement solution that functions naturally and looks identical to a
tooth.
When we plan dental implant cases, everything is focused on achieving natural function and aesthetics for your face and mouth. No stone is left unturned during this process, thanks to our dentists’ desire for detail and the cutting-edge technology we use.
Our practice is designed to provide a calm and comfortable experience, focusing on personalised care to meet your unique needs. We pride ourselves on our meticulous attention to detail and our dedication to patient satisfaction- your smile is our priority, and we strive to ensure that every visit leaves you feeling heard, confident and cared for. We aim to build attentive relationships and trust with our patients that lasts a lifetime.
As local anaesthetic is used, you should feel only some mild to moderate pressure whilst your dentist places your implant.
You may experience some discomfort for 2-3 days after your surgery whilst your body begins the immediate healing process. This can be accompanied by minor swelling and bleeding. In the vast majority of cases, pain experienced in the 2-3 days after implant placement can be controlled with over-the-counter painkillers.
This depends on several factors, including:
Typically, you can expect the process to take between 4-9 months from start to finish (including planning stages and crown placement).
Yes. Implant-retained bridges are a popular choice for patients with multiple missing teeth.
They are also more economical than single implants, as fewer implants are needed to secure a whole row of teeth in place.
Implant bridges offer significantly more strength than conventional bridges. The bridge is fixed in position over the top of the implants, which are surgically placed in the jawbone.
Implant bridges are one of our most popular missing teeth treatments, and in some cases, only 2 implants are needed to secure 3 or 4 missing teeth in a row.
At Hazelwood, we have over a 95% success rate in placing implants.
One of the biggest factors compromising the healing period (and the overall success of the procedure) is smoking, which cuts off the blood supply to the gums. We strongly recommend refraining from smoking (and vaping) during the healing period (and beyond, if you can!)
Implants are not “fit and forget”. They need the same care and attention as natural teeth.
On completion of treatment, it will be necessary for you to attend a number of recall appointments to check the condition of the implants and to adjust the bite if required.
