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
What types of dentures are available?
We offer full dentures for patients who have lost all their teeth, and partial dentures for those missing some teeth. Both are custom-made to fit comfortably and look natural.
How long does it take to get dentures?
The process typically takes several weeks, including impressions, try-ins, and adjustments. We take care to ensure a precise fit so your dentures feel comfortable from the start.
Do dentures look natural?
Modern dentures are designed to closely resemble natural teeth and gums. We carefully match the colour, shape, and size to your facial features for a natural-looking result.
Can I eat normally with dentures?
Most patients adapt to eating with dentures within a few weeks. We recommend starting with softer foods and gradually introducing harder items as you become more comfortable.
How do I care for my dentures?
Remove and rinse dentures after eating, brush them daily with a soft denture brush, and soak them overnight in a denture cleaning solution. Regular dental check-ups help ensure they continue to fit well.
How often should dentures be replaced?
Dentures typically need to be replaced or relined every 5 to 8 years as the shape of your jaw changes over time. Regular check-ups allow us to assess fit and recommend adjustments.
