Dental implants represent a groundbreaking advancement in restorative dentistry, offering a permanent solution for missing teeth. At Gartside Street Dental, we specialize in the latest implant technology to restore the beauty and functionality of your smile. Our skilled team is committed to providing personalized care to ensure the best outcome for your oral health.
What Are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are titanium posts that are surgically positioned into the jawbone beneath your gums to serve as a sturdy foundation for artificial teeth. Over time, these implants fuse with your jawbone, providing stable support for dental prosthetics such as crowns, bridges, or dentures. Unlike other tooth-replacement options, implants don't slip or shift in your mouth—an essential advantage for eating and speaking.
The Benefits of Choosing Dental Implants
Opting for dental implants offers numerous benefits, including improved appearance and comfort, enhanced oral health, durability, and convenience. Implants are designed to look and feel like your own teeth and are made to fuse with bone, becoming permanent. They also improve oral hygiene by allowing easier access between teeth compared to traditional bridgework.
The Dental Implant Procedure
The journey to a renewed smile involves several steps. Initially, our dental surgeon will assess your oral health to ensure you are a suitable candidate for implants. The procedure begins with the placement of the implant post into your jawbone. Following the placement, a period of healing is required for osseointegration, where the implant integrates with the bone. Finally, once the implant is secured, a custom-made crown is attached, completing your new smile.
Post-Procedure Care and Maintenance
After your implant surgery, we provide comprehensive guidance on caring for your new implants. With proper maintenance, including regular brushing, flossing, and dental check-ups, your implants can last a lifetime. Our team is always available to answer your questions and support you every step of the way.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does orthodontic treatment with braces take?
Treatment duration varies depending on the complexity of your case, but most adults wear braces for 12 to 24 months. Your orthodontist will give you a personalised timeline at your consultation.
Do braces hurt?
You may feel some discomfort for a few days after braces are fitted or adjusted, but this is usually mild and can be managed with over-the-counter painkillers. Most patients adjust quickly.
Can adults get braces?
Yes, braces are effective at any age. Many of our adult patients achieve excellent results with modern braces, which are more discreet and comfortable than older styles.
What is the difference between braces and clear aligners?
Traditional braces use fixed brackets and wires to move teeth, while clear aligners are removable, transparent trays. Both are effective, and we can help you choose the best option for your needs.
How do I care for my teeth while wearing braces?
Brush carefully after every meal using a soft-bristled brush, and use interdental brushes or floss threaders to clean around brackets and wires. Regular dental check-ups are important throughout treatment.
How much do corrective braces cost?
The cost depends on the type of braces and the complexity of your treatment. We offer transparent pricing and flexible payment options including 0% financing to make treatment more accessible.
