Securely Replace Missing Teeth

What are Implants?

Dental implants are now regarded as the number one option for replacing missing or failing teeth. Dental implants can be used to replace single and multiple teeth and in some cases, all the teeth. Loose dentures can also be stabilised and improved by the use of dental implants.

The implants are actually small titanium posts that are secured into a patient’s jawbone where they are missing teeth. Once secured, the bone gradually bonds with the titanium posts thereby providing a very secure foundation for artificial teeth.

Benefits of Implants

They are the next best thing to natural teeth. A dental implant is stable and strong so that it functions, feels and looks natural.
They help retain the natural shape of your face and smile. A face without teeth can sometimes sag. Dental implants help maintain natural support and therefore your smile.
Dental implants are fixed in your mouth.
Designed to last. Provided you look after your mouth, maintain good oral hygiene and see your dentist regularly, dental implants can last many years. Dental implant treatment is akin to having a hip replacement
– you would expect the artificial hip to last 10-20 years and then it might need re-treating.
Confidently eat and smile.

Implant Placement Process

Imaging

Typically the dental implant process involves getting a 3D scan of your jaw to understand where the titanium post can be secured.

Placement

Once identified the post is secured into the jawbone using an aseptic surgical technique.

Healing

Once the healing process begins the jaw bonds with the post to provide a powerful artificial tooth root.

Restoration

After this Dental FX can secure a dental crown, bridge or denture to the implant to create natural looking tooth or indeed teeth.

Dental Implant Aftercare

Gentle Brushing: Use a soft-bristled brush to clean around implants, ensuring gentle motions to avoid irritating the surgical site.
Non-abrasive Toothpaste: Opt for toothpaste without harsh ingredients that could damage the implant surface.
Antimicrobial Mouthwash: Incorporate a mouthwash recommended by your dentist to help prevent infection and promote healing.
Flossing Carefully: Use unwaxed tape or a water flosser for cleaning around the implant, being careful not to pull too hard on the implant.
Regular Dental Visits: Schedule check-ups to allow your dentist to monitor the implant and surrounding gum health.
Avoid Smoking: Smoking can negatively affect healing and implant integration with the jawbone.
Diet Adjustments: Avoid hard or sticky foods in the initial weeks after surgery to prevent undue pressure on the implant.

I was an anxious patient but from my very first appointment at Dental fx I knew I was in safe hands. The quality of care and the standard of treatment have been faultless.

I had an implant retained bridge fitted at Dental fx a number of years ago. To get rid of a denture after years of discomfort was absolutely fantastic. I would recommend this to anyone.
Scott Mac

I had an implant at dentalfx, carried out by Dr Jacobs, after living with a denture for a year I could finally enjoy socialising again! Thank you.
Linda Hynds

I have found my experience to be relaxed and my teeth are much whiter and healthier since attending this dentist. I am normally very anxious but have found it much easier to attend my dentist surgery due to the gentle approach to treating my teeth.
A Grant

Being able to smile without the embarrassment of missing teeth has made such a difference. I have had a total of five implants and experienced very little discomfort throughout the whole treatment and would do it again for the benefits it has brought.
Dr Jason Ditton

Absolutely no discomfort of any sort during or after the procedure; highest standards of meticulous professional surgery and care.
Jennifer Donald

Just to say thank you for all the kindness I received while undergoing dental treatment. Still can’t believe how little discomfort there was. Your patience was much appreciated.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your expertise and professionalism throughout my intricate dental treatment. My new teeth look fantastic, I can chew much better and they are much more comfortable than my own teeth were!

FAQs

Are Dental Implants suitable for me?

The good news is that almost anyone with a missing tooth is potentially suitable for dental implants. That said while there is no upper limit they are not ideal for children as their dental and facial bones are still in growth.

I’ve had dentures for years, can I get implants?

In many cases patients can use implants to completely dispense with their dentures, or use them to secure dentures.

Can implants replace all my teeth?

Yes we can use implants to replace all missing teeth, either with a number of bridges, or an implant retained denture.

How many implants will I need?

Your dentist will advise how many implants you need, it’s not usually necessary to have one implant per missing tooth.
