Discover Your Perfect Smile
Losing a tooth can be a distressing experience, whether due to an injury or the aftermath of a periodontal disease. It not only affects your smile but also disrupts your ability to speak and eat normally.
What are dental implants?
At Bluebell Dentistry & Aesthetics, we offer dental implants as a reliable solution for replacing missing teeth. These implants consist of artificial tooth roots made from titanium or titanium alloy, which are well-tolerated by the bone over many years. By securely anchoring a new tooth in place, dental implants provide a sturdy foundation for your replacement teeth.
One of the key advantages of dental implants is their discreet nature. They seamlessly blend in with your natural teeth, restoring your smile to its original beauty and giving you the confidence you deserve.
Our experienced dental implant clinicians offer a range of premium implant solutions. We prioritise the use of high-quality implants to ensure the best possible outcomes for our patients.
What is the process for dental implants?
-
Initial Consultation: You will have an initial free consultation with one of our dental clinicians.They will evaluate your oral health, discuss your goals and expectations, and determine your eligibility for dental implant treatment.
-
Treatment Planning: If you are deemed a suitable candidate for dental implants, a treatment plan will be created specifically for you. This plan takes into account factors like the number of teeth to be replaced, the condition of your jawbone, and any additional procedures that may be necessary.
-
Dental Implant Placement: The next step is the surgical placement of the dental implant. This involves the implant being carefully inserted into the jawbone, acting as an artificial tooth root. The area is then left to heal, allowing the implant to fuse with the bone through a process called osseointegration.
-
Healing Period: After the implant placement, there is a healing period during which the implant integrates with the jawbone. This can take several months, ensuring a strong and stable foundation for the replacement tooth.
-
Abutment Placement: Once the implant has fully integrated, an abutment, a small connector, is attached to the implant. The abutment serves as a connection between the implant and the replacement tooth.
-
Restoration: Finally, a custom-made dental crown, bridge, or denture is securely attached to the abutment. The restoration is designed to match the colour, shape, and size of your natural teeth, providing a seamless and aesthetically pleasing result.
-
Follow-Up Care: Regular follow-up visits will be scheduled to monitor the progress of your dental implants and ensure their long-term success. Good oral hygiene practices, including proper brushing, flossing, and regular dental check-ups, are essential for maintaining the health of your dental implants.
Dental Implants FAQs
How much are dental implants?
Dental implant costs vary depending on the number of implants needed and the complexity of the case. Typically, a single dental implant costs between £2,000 and £3,500. This price includes the initial consultation, implant surgery, and the placement of the final crown or restoration. Additional procedures such as bone grafting, if required, may increase the overall cost.
Dental implants are a long-term investment in your oral health, offering a permanent solution for missing teeth that looks and feels natural. We recommend scheduling a consultation to discuss your specific needs and receive a personalised treatment plan and cost estimate.
How long do dental implants last?
Dental implants are designed to be a permanent solution for missing teeth, and with proper care, they can last for many years. The implant itself, made from titanium, integrates with the jawbone and should not need to be replaced. However, the crown, bridge, or denture attached to the implant may require replacement after 10 to 15 years due to wear and tear.
Here at Bluebell Dentistry & Aesthetics, we provide detailed aftercare instructions to help maintain the longevity of your dental implants. Regular check-ups and good oral hygiene practices are essential to ensure the long-term success of your implants, and we are always available to address any concerns.
