What are Dental Implants in West Swindon?

Dental implants are the most natural and permanent way to replace missing teeth or teeth which are in very bad condition.

Dental implants are false teeth that look and function just like your own natural teeth. There is no need to wear uncomfortable dentures, no need to avoid certain foods and no need to remove teeth at nighttime. Once your dental implants have been fitted, you can speak naturally, eat what you like, smile without embarrassment and live your life as usual.

Dental implants are comprised of 3 parts. The implant is gently placed into your jawbone and this acts as your new tooth root. A titanium post then fits on to the implant. The post then secures the final piece – the crown in place and this acts as your new tooth which is visible in your gums.

Types of Dental Implants in West Swindon

At Dentalcare West Swindon, the types of dental implant that we offer will generally depend on whether you want to replace one missing tooth or multiple missing teeth.

 

A single missing tooth

If you have one missing tooth or one tooth which is in poor condition, we can replace it with a single dental implant. At your scheduled appointment, we will remove the failing tooth. The implant will then be placed into your jawbone using a local anaesthetic which completely numbs the area. A temporary crown will then be fixed in place whilst your final crown is made for you. This will be colour matched to your other teeth so that it blends in discreetly. We can often complete the dental implant procedure in just one appointment allowing you to have same day teeth.

 

Multiple missing teeth

If you have lots of gaps in your mouth or if you have lots of teeth in very poor condition or if you have no teeth at all, then you might be more suited to having all-on-4 dental implants. This form of dental implants uses just 4 dental implants into your upper or lower jaw to support a full set of permanent false teeth.

All-on-4 dental implants are a cost-effective solution to replace many missing teeth as this often works out to be less expensive than having several single dental implants.

Frequently asked questions about Dental Implants

How does the dental implant stay in place?
Under local anaesthetic, we will drill a small hole into your jawbone and the implant will be fitted. Depending on the health of your gums, we will either leave the implant to fuse with the jawbone or we will proceed to fit the crown on the same day.
Can anyone have dental implants fitted?
Generally, most people of any age can have dental implants fitted, but you will need to be assessed by one of our expert dental team to check on the health of your teeth and your gums. If your gums are in very poor condition or your jawbone is not considered strong enough to support dental implants, we may be able to explore other options such as bone grafts.
What is the success rate of dental implants?
Success rate of dental implants vary according to where in the jaw they are placed. In general, dental implants have a success rate of up to 98%. With proper care and with thorough dental hygiene, dental implants can last a lifetime.
