If you have lost any of your teeth, then you may be feeling fed up with your smile and your appearance, or you may have given up caring, thinking that you are resigned to a life without all of your teeth, because you don’t fancy having to wear removable replacement teeth. At Leamington Spa Dental Practice, one of our most advanced and effective solutions for tooth restoration is dental implants. With dental implants, you can regain your confidence, restore your smile, and enjoy the benefits of a complete set of teeth once again, without ever having to remove your replacement teeth. Dental implants Leamington Spa look and function just like natural teeth.

Dental implants: what they are

Dental implants Leamington Spa are screws that are fitted into the jawbone to act like artificial roots for replacement teeth. These screws are made of titanium. Titanium is a super material for fusing well with the jawbone through a process called osseointegration. This creates a stable base for the attachment of dental crowns or bridges, resulting in a natural-looking and functional restoration. Once your dental implants are attached to your jawbone, they shouldn’t move at all, and neither will your replacement teeth once they are attached to the screws – just like healthy natural teeth!

How do I get dental implants?

The process of getting dental implants at Leamington Spa Dental Practice begins with a thorough examination and consultation with one of our experienced dentists. They will assess your oral health, including the condition of your jawbone and surrounding tissues. If dental implants are considered the right treatment for you, we will develop a personalised treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. During this appointment, we will discuss the treatment options and you can ask all the questions you need to ensure that you are making an informed decision about the right way forward for you with your treatment.

How are dental implants fitted?

Dental implants Leamington Spa involve just a couple of appointments and no major surgery. All of your treatment can be carried out with just local anaesthetic. During the first appointment, the dental implant is surgically placed into the jawbone. This may require a healing period of several months to allow for proper osseointegration. During this time, temporary replacement teeth will be provided to maintain aesthetics and function. Once the implant has fused with the jawbone, the second appointment involves attaching an abutment, which connects the implant to the replacement tooth. Once the tissue has healed around the implants and the abutment is attached, your bespoke replacement teeth can then be fitted. Replacement teeth can be either a dental crown, bridge or denture depending on how many teeth you need to have restored.

Why should I choose dental implants?

The benefits of dental implants at our dental practice are numerous. First and foremost, dental implants offer a permanent solution for missing teeth. Unlike dentures or bridges, dental implants are designed to be a permanent part of your mouth, offering stability, comfort, and functionality. They are designed to look and feel just like natural teeth, and they can be relied upon not to loosen when you eat and speak.

By having gaps in your smile, the bone density in your jaw can begin to deplete over time. Dental implants help to preserve the structure of the jaw and to prevent further bone loss. This not only maintains the integrity of your facial structure, but also contributes to better oral health in the long run.
