Replacing missing teeth

Dental Implants are specially designed screws which are implanted into the jaw and act like natural tooth roots. They are a permanent replacement for missing or damaged teeth and with routine care, dental implants have a high level of success.

We can replace one or more teeth at the same time that they are removed by inserting an implant, made from titanium, into the empty extraction socket. The advantages of this technique for you are that:

Before your new tooth can be attached to the implant it is necessary to leave it undisturbed for several months while the bone attaches to its surface. During this period a small temporary denture or bridge may be worn to fill the gap.

The benefits of dental implants

Replacing missing teeth has several advantages:

How many implants will I need?

If one tooth is to be extracted then it can be replaced by a single implant. If a number of teeth are to be lost, more implants will be required. It is not always necessary to match the exact number of teeth being extracted, for example, it may be possible to fit three teeth on two implants. Eight implants are often all that are required to replace a full arch of teeth.

How are the teeth made?

Once implant bone attachment has been checked and confirmed, the new teeth can be made. They are made from tooth coloursed porcelain producing a natural appearance, which is almost impossible to spot against natural teeth. A titanium post is connected to the implant and held in place with a small screw. The finished tooth is then glued onto the post with special type of dental cement.

What your treatment involves

To avoid damaging the bone and gum the tooth is removed very gently, which minimises the amount of pain after the procedure. Surprisingly, the discomfort experienced is typically no different to that felt following a normal tooth extraction.

There is no need for stronger injections during the procedure as the same local anaesthetic used to numb the tooth for extraction is often sufficient.

What happens after implants have been placed?

We allow six months for the bone to fuse around the implant and become solid in the jawbone. After six months the Dental Surgeon begins to build the new crowns, bridges or dentures on the implants.
