Dental implants
If you have gaps in your teeth or broken teeth and are embarrassed to smile, we can help. Dental implants are a revolutionary solution for missing teeth and have become increasingly popular due to their natural look, feel, and function. At Pearl Dental Clinic, your local dentist near Putney, we offer state-of-the-art dental implant treatments to restore your smile and improve your quality of life.
You can transform your appearance and your confidence from just £119 per month with our outstanding, specialist team.
What are the stages of dental implant treatment?
The dental implant process typically involves several stages:
- Consultation: During your initial consultation, our experienced dentists will assess your oral health and discuss your treatment options. They will determine if you are a suitable candidate for dental implants and create a personalised treatment plan.
- State-of-the-art technology: we use the latest innovations and tech, including the Kavo 3D CBCT scanner, for accurate planning and results.
- Dental implant surgery: This procedure involves placing titanium implants into your jawbone. The implants act as artificial tooth roots, providing a strong foundation for your new teeth.
- Healing period: After surgery, you will need to allow sufficient time for the implants to fuse with your jawbone, a process known as osseointegration. This typically takes several months.
- Abutment placement: Once the implants have fully integrated, abutments are attached to the implants. These abutments connect the implants to your final restorations.
- Restoration: The final stage involves placing custom-made crowns, bridges, or dentures on the abutments. These restorations will look and feel like natural teeth, restoring your smile’s beauty and function.
How do I care for my dental implants?
Caring for your dental implants is similar to caring for your natural teeth. Here are some essential tips:
- Maintain excellent oral hygiene: Brush your teeth twice daily with a soft-bristled toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste. Floss daily to remove plaque and food particles from between your teeth and implants.
- Regular dental check-ups: Schedule regular dental check-ups and cleanings to monitor the health of your implants and address any potential issues early on.
- Avoid bad habits: Refrain from biting down on hard objects, such as ice or hard candy, as this can damage your implants. Additionally, avoid grinding your teeth, as this can put excessive stress on your implants.
- Maintain a healthy diet: A balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals can contribute to the overall health of your mouth, including your implants.
How long do dental implants last?
With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime. Unlike traditional dentures, implants are a long-term solution that can significantly improve your oral health and self-confidence.
