Dental implants in Telford

A fixed predictable solution for missing teeth

Losing your teeth can have a significant impact on your life, affecting your self-confidence, your speech, and how you eat. A dental implant is a biocompatible titanium post that acts just like a tooth root to support natural-looking replacement teeth and offers a long-lasting way to fill any gaps.

What are dental implants?

We understand that teeth can be lost for several reasons, including decay, trauma, infection, or gum disease, and this loss can result in a whole host of problems. Dental implants can improve how you eat and speak, prevent shrinkage of the jawbone, and keep existing teeth firmly in place.

What does the process for dental implant treatment involve?


Step One: Consultation & Planning – We assess your teeth and gums to ensure you are a suitable candidate for implants. We take digital X-rays or CT-scans to check if you have enough bone volume for the successful placement of implants. If you don’t, you may need sinus and/or graft procedures.

Step Two: Fitting – After administering a local anaesthetic, we carefully place the implant in the jaw and, over a few weeks, this will integrate with the surrounding bone. The healing period can vary between individual patients and also depends on bone quality.

Step Three: Restorative phase – When fully healed, the replacement teeth can be attached to the implant fixture using connecting screws. These will either be crowns or bridges, which stay securely in place, or dentures, which can be removed for cleaning.

What types of dental implants are available?

A single missing tooth can be replaced effectively with a dental implant topped with a crown. This solution offers a strong, durable, and natural-looking replacement tooth. While alternatives like single-tooth dentures or bridges exist, dental implants provide a superior, long-lasting solution that preserves the health of surrounding teeth.

For multiple missing teeth, various implant options are available. Individual implants can be placed for each missing tooth, or strategic implant placement can support a bridge to replace multiple adjacent teeth. This bridge-supported implant solution is particularly beneficial when jawbone conditions limit the suitability of individual implants in certain areas.

Traditionally, full dentures have been the go-to solution for replacing an entire upper or lower arch of teeth. However, despite advancements in denture technology, they can still be uncomfortable and fail to prevent jawbone deterioration. Dental implants offer a superior alternative with two main full-arch options:

1. Fixed Full Arch Bridge: Supported by four to six precisely placed implants, this option provides a fixed, natural-feeling replacement for all missing teeth. You can eat, drink, and speak with confidence, just as you did before.

2. Implant-Supported Denture: This option secures a denture to dental implants, significantly improving stability and comfort compared to traditional dentures. You can enjoy a full, confident smile without worrying about slippage or movement.

 

Finance options available

We are pleased to offer flexible payment options to help spread the cost of your dental implant treatment. Interest-free finance is available, subject to status.

 

What else do I need to know?

If you look after your implants properly and attend regular check-ups, dental implants can last for years. Our hygienist can provide implant maintenance treatment and give you advice on how to care for your implants, so they remain functional for as long as possible.
However, there are some lifestyle factors and health conditions that may increase the risk of implant failure such as smoking, drinking alcohol, gum disease, teeth grinding (bruxism) and diabetes. The average lifespan of dental implants is 10-15 years.

 

Frequently Asked Questions

 

The whole dental implant process takes several months, as the implant needs time to heal and fuse to your bone before fixed permanent teeth can complete your smile. The implant surgery itself is a relatively quick procedure, but healing can take up to six months in some cases. Your new smile will be worth the wait!

Dental implants have the potential to last for the rest of your life, providing they are properly looked after. As they are fused into your jawbone, they mimic natural tooth roots exactly. You need to remember to brush and floss twice a day, look after your overall health and visit your dentist for regular check-up appointments. The replacement tooth fixed on top of your implant may need to be replaced over time due to wear and tear.

You should treat your dental implants just like natural teeth and include them in your normal oral hygiene routine. As they are made from artificial materials, your implants are invulnerable to decay or cavities, but you will still need to brush and floss to keep the gum surrounding the implant healthy and problem-free.

Dental implants usually affect how you talk in a very positive way! You may find it easier to pronounce certain words or speak clearly when you no longer have a missing tooth, and you will certainly speak more confidently with securely supported implants than any other restoration.

Yes, teeth implants are very successful at replacing a single missing tooth or multiple missing teeth. We can insert several strategically placed implants to support a bridge or partial denture, replacing a number of adjacent teeth. Dental implants can also be used to replace a full arch of upper or lower missing teeth, giving you back the confidence of a full smile.
