With over 30 years of experience providing excellent dental care, we take pride in offering a comprehensive range of treatments for the entire family, including Saturday appointments to accommodate your busy lifestyle. Among the many services we provide, one of the most sought-after treatments for restoring both the aesthetics and functionality of a smile is dental implants.
What are dental implants?
Dental implants Essex are advanced dental restorations designed to replace missing teeth. Unlike traditional dentures or bridges, implants are a permanent solution that can mimic the appearance, function and feel of natural teeth. The process involves the insertion of a titanium post directly into the jawbone, acting as the root of the new tooth. Once the implant fuses with the bone through a process called osseointegration, a custom-made dental crown is placed on top, creating a seamless and durable replacement tooth.
How does it work?
Getting dental implants only involves a couple of treatment appointments and an initial consultation. During your initial consultation, our dentist will assess your oral health and determine whether dental implants are the right option for you. They will also answer any questions you may have, putting your mind at ease about the process.
Once it is established that dental implants are suitable for your case, the first appointment can proceed, which involves the placement of the titanium post into your jawbone. This requires a minor surgical procedure using local anaesthetic, and while it may sound intimidating, our experienced dentists can ensure that you are comfortable throughout the process whilst reclining in our dental chair. After the implant is positioned, a healing period of a few months follows. You will have temporary replacement teeth attached to the screws during this time. Once the healing process is complete, you must then return for a second appointment to have your permanent replacement teeth of crowns, bridges or dentures attached to the screws.
The benefits of dental implants
One of the great things about dental implants is that they should look and feel just like your natural teeth. They blend flawlessly with your natural smile, boosting your confidence and self-esteem. A further benefit of dental implants is that they enable you to eat, speak, and laugh with ease, as they are firmly anchored in your jawbone. Furthermore, if you take care of your implants properly by brushing, flossing, and attending regular dental checkups, they could last for at least 15 years, if not for the rest of your life. If that’s not enough, they could even make you look younger. When a tooth is lost, the underlying jawbone can start to deteriorate over time, and the face can look drawn. Dental implants can stimulate the jawbone, maintaining its density and structure and providing a more fresh-faced and youthful appearance. Dental implants Essex can also eliminate the need for messy adhesives or frequent adjustments, providing a hassle-free solution.
