How does the implant surgery process work?
You may find peace of mind knowing that the process of having dental implant surgery is both safe and clinically proven here at our dental surgery. The first step to take is being assessed by our dental practitioner to determine whether or not you are a suitable candidate for dental implants Berkshire.
The implant is made up of a small metal-based screw that is inserted into your jaw to replace the missing tooth root. Once the implant has been firmly established, patients are able to consider crowns, bridges or dentures that are then fixed onto the implant itself. This creates a natural looking tooth replacement which can function in the same way as your original teeth.
What are some of the benefits of having implants?
Did you know that aside from improving the appearance of your smile, dental implants are able to transform the look of your face and prevent a sunken look from occurring in your cheeks? This is thanks to the retained bone structure from the implant, which provides a firm regeneration of jawbone to your face.
In addition, dental implants are able to help with your ability to bite and chew food, so you can enjoy the freedom of choice when it comes to ordering from a menu at a restaurant or dining out with friends. You will no longer be restricted to eating certain foods due to the worry that your tooth may fall out or that your dentures will become loose.
For those patients who wish to find a natural-looking replacement for missing teeth, dental implants are truly discreet and barely discernible from remaining original dentition . They can also be colour-matched to blend in with the shade of your own teeth, so the final results appear as natural as possible.
How will the dental implants be inserted, and will it require surgery?
For those patients worrying about what is involved in the actual implant process, be reassured, as the procedure is conducted under strict sterile conditions under the expertise of our dental staff. The dental implant process does require minor surgery, but this is conducted in a dental chair at our practice. Many of our patients have opted to have the surgery performed under local anaesthetic, but for those who are nervous they can opt to be placed under conscious sedation instead.
The good news is that there is rarely any pain experienced by patients following the process and if by chance you do experience any minor symptoms, they can be easily managed with the help of general painkillers.
