Dental implants are the only permanent way a dentist can replace your missing or failing teeth. At Victoria Road Dental Clinic in Ruislip, our skilled implant team can use a combination of implants and crowns, dentures, or bridges to rebuild your smile. Not only will this give you back teeth that look as natural as they do beautiful, but also you will have full functionality restored to your jaw, enabling you to eat whatever you choose.
The placement of dental implants does require minor oral surgery, which is carried out by a skilled implant dentist here in the comfort of our modern Ruislipdental practice. Implant placement is thoroughly planned in advance, using CT scans, x-rays and the latest computer technology so that your implants are put in the optimum position to support your new teeth and withstand the forces generated when you bite and chew your food.
Your dentist will also ensure that any nerves or other vital structures are avoided. In most cases, the placement of dental implants only requires a local anaesthetic, and a lot of implant patients report that it is much more comfortable than having a tooth extracted.
In most cases, implants are left to heal and integrate with your jaw bone for a couple of months. You will then be called back for another appointment at our Ruislip clinic, and your dentist will attach your permanent new teeth.
The benefits of dental implants
Dental implants have many benefits. They are permanent, and can last a lifetime with proper aftercare. They are also the only way to replace tooth roots, and because they are made from titanium they help to support bone growth.
Your new teeth will not be at risk of decay, although plaque can still build up on them, so effective cleaning is needed to avoid gum disease.
