Dental Implants at Grove Park
Restore Your Smile with Permanent, Natural-Looking Solutions at First Dental
What Are Dental Implants?
A dental implant is a small titanium screw that is surgically placed into the jawbone, acting as an artificial tooth root. Once integrated with the bone, the implant can support:
01.
Crowns
Ideal for replacing a single missing tooth, a dental implant offers a permanent, natural-looking solution that preserves bone, restores function, and blends seamlessly with your smile.
02.
Bridges
A dental bridge is an excellent solution for multiple missing teeth in a row. It restores function, appearance, and confidence by using adjacent healthy teeth or implants to support a custom-made prosthetic.
03.
Dentures
Dentures provide a secure and comfortable alternative to traditional removable dentures, offering enhanced stability, improved chewing and speaking ability, and a natural-looking smile while being easy to maintain.
Our Dental Implant Services
Single Tooth Implants
The perfect solution for replacing one missing tooth without affecting adjacent teeth. Involves placing one implant topped with a custom-made, natural-looking crown.
Multiple Teeth Implants
For those missing several teeth in a row, multiple implants can securely support a fixed bridge (implant bridge), restoring function and aesthetics seamlessly without relying on natural teeth.
Full Arch Restoration (e.g., All-on-4®)
A life-changing solution replacing all teeth in an upper or lower arch using just 4 to 6 strategically placed implants. Often allows for fixed teeth on the same day ("Teeth in a Day") providing a stable, permanent alternative to traditional dentures.
Implant-Supported Dentures
Enhance the stability and comfort of your removable dentures ('overdentures') by anchoring them to implants with special attachments. Reduces movement, improves chewing, and boosts confidence
Our Implant Process: Step-by-Step
Dental implants offer a long-lasting and reliable solution for missing teeth, restoring both function and appearance. Here’s a step-by-step look at what to expect during the implant journey:
- Consultation & Assessment
- Implant Placement
- Healing & Integration
- Restoration Placement
Your journey begins with a comprehensive consultation, where our experienced dental team evaluates your oral health. Using advanced diagnostic tools like 3D scans, we ensure that dental implants are the right choice for you.
Under local anesthesia, the titanium implant is carefully placed into the jawbone. This minimally invasive procedure is designed for comfort, and you’ll be guided through each step by our expert team.
Once placed, the implant will begin the process of osseointegration, where it fuses with your jawbone over a few months. This provides a stable foundation for your future restoration.
After healing, a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture is securely attached to the implant. Your smile is restored, bringing back natural function and aesthetics, tailored specifically to you.
Why Choose Dental Implants?
Longevity & Durability
With proper care, implants are designed to last a lifetime, becoming a permanent part of your smile.
Bone Health Preservation
Implants mimic natural tooth roots, stimulating the jawbone and preventing the bone loss that occurs when teeth are missing.
Natural Look & Feel
Custom-crafted restorations attached to implants look, feel, and function just like your natural teeth, restoring confidence in your smile and bite.
Adjacent Teeth Protection
Implants don't require altering healthy neighboring teeth, unlike traditional bridges, preserving more of your natural tooth structure.
Improved Comfort & Stability
Implants eliminate the discomfort and potential slippage associated with removable dentures.
Am I A Candidate for Dental Implants?
Dental implants are a reliable and long-lasting solution for most adults in good oral and general health. To ensure the best possible outcome, there are a few key factors to consider:
1.
Sufficient jawbone density for implant support
A healthy jawbone is crucial for securely supporting the implant. If your bone density is insufficient, options like bone grafting may be discussed to prepare for the implant.
2.
Healthy gums free from severe gum disease
Healthy gums are vital for the success of the implant. You should be free from severe gum disease, and maintaining gum health is essential for a lasting result.
3.
Commitment to good oral hygiene and regular dental checkups
Implants require proper care, so it’s important to commit to excellent oral hygiene and regular dental checkups to keep your new smile healthy and vibrant for years.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does dental implant treatment take?
Dental implant treatment can take several months , but most of this is due to the healing time needed once your implant has been fitted. The implant surgery itself is relatively short, but in most cases several months are needed for healing
Who is suitable for dental implants?
Most people are suitable for implants, as long as they are in good oral health and are generally healthy too. Some patients may need a bone graft to ensure a successful outcome, but this will be discussed with you. We can assess your suitability for implant treatment at your first appointment.
Is having a dental implant fitted painful?
We use local anaesthetic during your implant surgery to ensure you're as comfortable as possible, so you shouldn’t feel any pain during the procedure. Most people compare getting a dental implant to having a tooth removed—and many even say that implant surgery is less painful.
How do I clean my dental implants?
To keep your dental implants clean and your mouth healthy, care for them just like you would your natural teeth. Be sure to include both the implant and the replacement tooth in your daily oral hygiene routine and pay close attention to brushing your gum to keep your mouth healthy and problem-free.
