What are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that provide a long-term base for replacement teeth. They are made of titanium and are surgically implanted into the jawbone, where they fuse with the bone to create a stable foundation for dental restorations. Dental implants are an excellent solution for people who have lost teeth due to injury, decay, or disease.

Benefits of Dental Implants

There are several benefits to getting dental implants, including:
Improved appearance: Dental implants look and feel like natural teeth, improving your smile and overall appearance.
Improved speech: Unlike dentures, which can slip and cause speech problems, dental implants provide a stable base for replacement teeth, helping you speak clearly and confidently.
Improved comfort: Dental implants are comfortable and feel natural in the mouth, making them a popular alternative to traditional dentures.
Improved oral health: Dental implants help maintain the health of surrounding teeth and prevent bone loss in the jaw.
Improved durability: With proper care, dental implants can last 15-20years and often longer, making them a cost-effective long-term solution.

Dental Implants FAQ's

Dental implants are an increasingly popular option for those looking to replace missing or damaged teeth. Here, we will provide answers to a selection of frequently asked questions about  dental implants.

If you don't see the information you are looking for, Contact Us, our team are waiting to assist you.
The dental implant procedure usually takes between 1-2 hours per implant. However, the entire process can take several months to complete, as the implant needs time to fuse with the jawbone.
The dental implant procedure is usually performed under local anaesthesia, so you shouldn't feel any pain during the procedure. After the procedure, you may experience some discomfort, but this can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain medication. We do offer sedation if you are a nervous patient
The recovery time for a dental implant procedure varies depending on the individual and the number of implants being placed. In most cases, patients can return to work and normal activities within a few days to a week after the procedure.
There are several types of dental implants available, including endosteal implants, subperiosteal implants, and zygomatic implants. Your dentist will recommend the best type of implant for your individual needs.
Most people are good candidates for dental implants, but there are some factors that may affect your eligibility, such as oral health, overall health, and the condition of your jawbone. Poor oral health is a major risk factor to the success of implant treatment.
With proper care, dental implants can last a 15-20 years and often longer. However, it's important to maintain good oral hygiene and attend regular dental check-ups to ensure the longevity of your implants.
Caring for your implants is similar to caring for your natural teeth. Good oral hygiene with brushing flossing and using interdental brushes. It is also beneficial to wear a night guard to protect the implant against bruxing forces.
Dental implants are often considered a better option than dentures or bridges, as they offer several advantages. Unlike dentures, which can slip and cause discomfort, dental implants provide a stable base for replacement teeth that look and feel natural. They also help maintain the health of surrounding teeth and prevent bone loss in the jaw. Bridges, on the other hand, require the removal of healthy tooth structure and may need to be replaced more frequently than dental implants.
The dental implant process can take several months to complete, as it involves several stages. The first stage involves a consultation with a dental professional, where they will assess your oral health and determine if you are a good candidate for the procedure. The second stage involves the surgical placement of the implant into the jawbone. After this, there is a healing period of 3-6 months, during which time the implant fuses with the bone. Finally, a dental restoration, such as a crown, bridge, or denture, is placed onto the implant, completing the process.
As with any surgical procedure, there are some risks associated with getting dental implants. These include infection, nerve damage, and implant failure. However, these risks are relatively low, and can be mitigated by choosing an experienced dental professional and following proper aftercare instructions.

Patient Before & After by Dr Johan 📸

Treatment: Implant and Alignment

The patient presented to our practice over a year ago following the loss of a premolar due to infection, resulting in significant bone loss in the affected area. His primary objective was to restore the space where the tooth was lost.

Given the extent of the bone loss, we initiated a ridge augmentation procedure utilising Dentsply Ossix bone and Ossix Volumax materials. During the healing phase, the patient expressed interest in not only restoring the space but also enhancing the aesthetics of his smile through alignment and whitening.

To address these concerns, we implemented Invisalign clear braces for orthodontic alignment. Following the successful completion of the orthodontic treatment, we proceeded with implant placement, which was facilitated by the previously achieved ridge augmentation.

Subsequently, we employed Enlighten tooth whitening, which significantly enhanced the overall appearance of his smile. We concluded the smile makeover with composite edge bonding to refine the alignment and an Atlantis/Emax implant restoration, ensuring it matched the natural teeth seamlessly.

The results have been remarkable, and the patient is now unable to stop smiling! 🤩

Patient Before & After by Dr Johan 📸

The patient presented with older crowns exhibiting poor margins, expressing dissatisfaction with the aesthetic appearance of her smile, particularly due to the upward inclination of the teeth on the left side. Additionally, the teeth exhibited significant discoloration, and she sought to improve their overall shade.

After thorough consultation, we decided to initiate treatment with Invisalign clear aligners to achieve proper alignment of the teeth. This was subsequently followed by the Enlighten teeth whitening system, resulting in a noticeable improvement in colour compared to the previous crowns.

Once the new shade stabilised, we replaced the old crowns with Emax crowns that matched the improved colour. Additionally, the left side of her smile was refined using a composite bonding technique to enhance the shape of the teeth.

The results of this comprehensive treatment were remarkable, and the patient was extremely pleased with her new smile.

I have a tremendous amount of trust and confidence in Johan and his team at Ramsbottom Dental Care.... About two years ago a front tooth broke and I have had an implant fitted. It was a masterclass in dental engineering. A 3 dimensional scan is made of the jaw and information transferred to a CAD (Computer Aided design) system. The implant is fitted using a guidance jig and the end result is a perfect match in size, alignment and tooth shade.Johan is very professional and pays a lot of attention to detail. I would not hesitate to recommend him and his team.R C Barkerread more

This practice is by far the very best I have been to - ever!

The premises are inviting, relaxing, and absolutely spotless. I've instantly gone from a terrified patient to feeling reassured and happy with my treatment plan - in a very short period of time. I just wish we had found them sooner, and have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them (in fact I do so at every opportunity!) Never before has a dentist extracted my teeth without sedation, but Dr Johan did so with the very minimum of discomfort. I have now regained my smile, and could not be happier - thank you!read more
