Dental Implants

When it comes to tooth replacement treatments, dental implants are considered as the gold standard.

Not only do dental implants rejuvenate your teeth’s appearance and restore functions like speaking and chewing, but they also protect your jawbone and keep your facial features balanced. There’s nothing better than seeing a patient’s life transformed, thanks to the amazing benefits of dental implants.

What are dental implants?

A dental implant is a small titanium post that’s placed directly into your jawbone. Over several months, the implant fuses with your jawbone as your body accepts its presence. As titanium is extremely biocompatible, there are very few rejections with dental implants.

Who are dental implants for?

Dental implants are suitable if you have a missing tooth, though not everyone is a suitable candidate for treatment. You will need to have a good level of oral hygiene and enough healthy bone to support the implants. It is possible to build up sufficient healthy bone with a bone graft or a sinus lift.

Why choose dental implants?

Here at Ascot Dental Suite we’re highly experienced in planning and placing implants, and creating the authentic-looking restorations that provide aesthetic and function to your smile.

Dental implants look and behave like real teeth and give you the freedom to eat whatever you like. Because they’re surgically placed, they fall in harmony with your jawbone, which receives the stimulation it needs to stay strong and healthy. It’s thanks to this that your facial features are supported and don’t become sunken and lose volume.

Replacing a missing tooth or teeth with dental implants will reduce your risk of problems like gum disease and tooth decay, and perhaps most importantly, revive your self-esteem and wellbeing.

 Stages of treatment

Initial consultation:

• A full and thorough examination of your mouth to assess suitability for treatment.
• Discussion about which implant treatment will be suited to you.

Smile design and preparation:

• Collection of diagnostic information such as CT scans of your jaw to give us an analysis and picture of your jawbone’s health and shape.

Surgical placement of the implants

Creating your restoration

• Impressions of your teeth are taken
• Your custom restoration is created.
