Your Dental Implant treatment

If you’ve lost one, or several, teeth, Dental Implants are a natural way of restoring your smile and confidence. As well as improving the appearance of your smile, tooth implants also restore health. Missing teeth can cause extra pressure to be placed upon your jawbone. Our Dental Implants in London can provide support in the way that your regular teeth do, minimising the chances of damage being inflicted upon your jawbone.

Dental Implant Treatment Process at our London Dental Practice

1. Free initial consultation at Crescent Lodge Dental Practice, Clapham SW4

The decision to undergo Dental Implant treatment can be a daunting one. This is why we provide our Dental Implant patients with a free initial consultation. It’s a good opportunity for us to explain the benefits of Dental Implants in London and how they work, and for you to ask any questions you might have. A consultation gives Andreas, our Implantologist, a chance to assess your suitability, talk through your treatment options and provide you with the insight you need to make an informed decision. Most adults in good general health are able to have Dental Implant treatment. There are, however, several factors that can increase the risk of tooth implant failure, such as smoking. We’ll use your consultation to ask questions about your medical history and carry out a full examination of your mouth and teeth.

2. Dental implant treatment planning

The next stage of the process involves the planning of your treatment. Using X-rays, impressions and assessment findings, Dr Andreas Jahnigen and his expert team will determine the type of Dental Implant treatment that is most appropriate for you and your needs. They’ll also decide the optimal positions for your tooth implants, and the quality and amount of bone to place your implants into.

Consideration of the most suitable Dental Implant treatment for you is a highly important aspect of the treatment process. There are several courses of action that might be taken, including:

  • Single Implants are used to replace a single missing tooth. They’re ideal for hiding gaps and supporting good bone health.
  • Fast Implants can restore missing teeth quickly and effectively. Multiple missing teeth (or dentures) will be replaced with a full set of natural-looking teeth.
  • Implant Dentures are an option if you have several missing teeth or no teeth at all. Dentures are natural-looking and are firmly attached to 6 or so Implants. This preserves the bone that is often lost in denture-wearers, creating a sunken, ‘caved-in’ appearance.

Sinus lifts at Crescent Lodge Dental Practice, Clapham SW4

Successful Dental Implant treatment relies upon adequate bone volume. When teeth have been missing for some time, the bone and surrounding tissues begin to recede and disappear. This may mean an insufficient amount of dense bone in which to place the tooth implant. In these circumstances, we may be able to carry out a sinus lift to help form a stable bone platform for your implant to be placed inside. This surgical procedure involves the placing of bone-graft material into the sinus cavity.

“Had treatments for the last year in Crescent Lodge Dental Practice. It is always a pleasure to visit the practice. The team is super compassionate to handle people with anxiety, professional and friendly I couldn’t ask for more. Dr Andreas Jahnigen and team is the one for people who need best quality implants.”

3. Placing the dental implants

The next step is the placing of your Dental Implants. This involves a small surgical procedure carried out under local anaesthetic. Dental Implants in Clapham, London are actually made of 2 parts: a titanium screw; and a crown (this is the part that looks like a real tooth). The surgical procedure involves placing the titanium screw into your jawbone to provide a solid root for your crown. An incision will be made into your gums, after which a small hole is made into your jawbone using a special drill. The screw part of your Dental Implant is then inserted into the hole before the site is stitched, ready for healing.

4. Healing and integration

If you’re having Fast Dental Implants fitted, you’ll have temporary crowns, bridges, or dentures fitted straight after your surgical procedure. Otherwise, the titanium root of your Dental Implants in Clapham can take from 3-6 months to fuse with your bone. After the appropriate period of time has elapsed, our Implantologist will carry out an assessment to decide if the root and your bone have fused sufficiently enough. Once the integration has been established, your crown, bridge, or dentures will be fitted onto your dental implant. This small surgical procedure will be carried out under local anaesthetic.

5. Long-term care and maintenance

With the right care and attention, our dental implants in Clapham can last for many years. As with natural teeth, it’s essential that you clean and floss every day, and attend all check-ups and hygiene appointments. *Individual timings may vary.

Dental Implants in London can create life-changing results. If you think they might be the right treatment for you, call us on 020 7622 5333, email our team, or request a callback.
