Dental Implants at Grange Green Dental Practice

When it comes to restoring your smile and ensuring optimal oral health, dental implants at Grange Green Dental Practice are a top-notch solution. Whether you're dealing with missing teeth or looking for a more permanent alternative to dentures, we've got you covered. Let's dive into everything you need to know about dental implants at our practice.

What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots, typically made of titanium, that are surgically implanted into the jawbone. They provide a strong foundation for fixed or removable replacement teeth, which are designed to match your natural teeth.

The Benefits of Dental Implants

1. Natural Look and Feel: Dental implants look, feel, and function like your own teeth.

2. Durability: Implants are designed to last many years, and with proper care, many implants last a lifetime.

3. Improved Oral Health: Unlike other tooth replacement options, dental implants don't require altering nearby teeth, which means more of your own teeth are left intact.

4. Enhanced Comfort: Implants eliminate the discomfort of removable dentures.

5. Improved Self-Esteem: Restoring your smile with implants can significantly boost your confidence.

The Dental Implant Procedure

Initial Consultation

Your journey begins with an initial consultation, where we evaluate your oral health, take X-rays, and discuss your treatment options.

Preparation

If necessary, preparatory procedures such as bone grafting or tooth extractions are performed to ensure a solid foundation for your implants.

Implant Placement

The implant is surgically placed into the jawbone. Over the next few months, the implant integrates with the bone, providing a stable base for the replacement tooth.

Abutment Placement

Once the implant has fused with the jawbone, an abutment is placed on top of the implant. This serves as a connector for the replacement tooth.

Crown Placement

The final step is attaching the custom-made crown to the abutment. This crown is designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth.

Caring for Your Dental Implants

Maintaining Oral Hygiene

Good oral hygiene is crucial for the longevity of your dental implants. Brush twice daily, floss regularly, and use an antibacterial mouthwash.

Regular Dental Check-ups

Regular check-ups and cleanings are essential to monitor the health of your implants and surrounding teeth.

Avoiding Harmful Habits

Avoid chewing on hard items, smoking, and excessive consumption of sugary foods and drinks to protect your implants and overall oral health.

The Cost of Dental Implants

Investment in Your Smile

While dental implants can be more expensive than other tooth replacement options, they offer a long-term solution that can save you money in the long run.

Financing Options

At Grange Green Dental Practice, we offer various financing options to make dental implants accessible to our patients. During your consultation, we will discuss the costs involved and help you find a payment plan that suits your budget.

The Importance of Replacing Missing Teeth

Preventing Bone Loss

Missing teeth can lead to bone loss in the jaw, which can affect your facial structure and overall oral health. Dental implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone deterioration.

Maintaining Facial Structure

Dental implants help maintain your natural facial structure, preventing the sunken look that often accompanies missing teeth.

Improving Oral Function

Replacing missing teeth with implants restores your ability to chew and speak properly, enhancing your overall quality of life.

The Future of Dental Implants

Advancements in Technology

The field of dental implantology is continuously evolving, with advancements in technology making the procedures more efficient and less invasive.
