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 is gum contouring?
Gum contouring, also called gum reshaping, is a cosmetic procedure that adjusts the gum line to create a more balanced and symmetrical smile. It can address a "gummy smile" or uneven gum levels.
Is gum correction painful?
The procedure is carried out under local anaesthetic, so you should not feel pain during treatment. Afterwards, you may experience some tenderness and mild swelling for a few days.
How long does gum correction take to heal?
Most patients feel comfortable within a few days, though full healing can take 1 to 2 weeks. We provide clear aftercare instructions to help you recover as quickly as possible.
Is gum correction permanent?
Yes, gum contouring results are permanent. The gum tissue does not grow back once it has been reshaped, so you can enjoy your improved smile long-term.
Am I a good candidate for gum correction?
Gum correction is suitable for patients with a gummy smile, uneven gum line, or excess gum tissue. A consultation with our team will determine whether the procedure is right for you.
How much does gum correction cost?
The cost depends on the extent of treatment needed. We offer transparent pricing and will discuss all costs with you before treatment begins. Monthly memberships include a 10% discount on all services.
