We are proud to serve Milton Keynes with a diverse range of dental treatment options. Increasingly, dental implants are becoming the method of choice for replacing missing teeth.
What is a Dental Implant?
A dental implant serves as a replacement for the root of a missing tooth.
How do Dental Implants work?
Dental implants involve inserting an artificial titanium root into your jaw, effectively replacing a missing tooth root. Implants are versatile, providing support for crowns, bridges, and dentures.
Compared to other prosthetic treatments, implants closely mimic the structure of natural teeth. While it may seem like a major procedure, it has become routine and typically only takes a few hours.
Is it always possible to replace missing teeth with implants?
The feasibility largely hinges on the health of your jawbones. Special tests will be conducted to assess the remaining bone in the tooth area. If there’s insufficient healthy bone, implants may require the grafting of new bone before placement.
Can the implant teeth be cleaned with ease?
Certainly. Proper aftercare is vital for the longevity of your implant. Following the care instructions provided by your dental team is crucial.
Maintaining hygiene around implanted teeth is as manageable as cleaning natural teeth. Some areas may be harder to reach, necessitating extra care. More frequent hygienist visits might be recommended, and your dental team will offer guidance.
