At Farnham Road Dental Practice, we recognise the daily struggles that are faced by those who suffer from an untreated missing tooth or teeth, and are fully aware of the struggles which they are faced with daily. We feel that anyone out there who is currently living with a missing tooth or more ought to turn to Farnham Road Dental to provide them with dental implants in Guildford to restore their smiles and their happiness.

What are dental implants?

If you are unaware of what dental implants in Guildford are, and how they could put a smile on your face, then do not fear. Dental implants are a permanent solution to those who are missing one or more teeth, and work by addressing the issue at the root. Rather than simply cover up a gap in a patient’s mouth, dental implants fill the gap in a permanent and sturdy fashion by creating an artificial tooth root which is placed within the jaw tissue of the patient. Those who opt for dental implant treatment find them to both look and feel almost completely identical to natural teeth, and that implants rarely require frequent return visits to the dental practice after they have been installed.

What does treatment involve

If you feel like you would be an ideal candidate for dental implant treatment, and that your smile could benefit from being permanently restored – then the first step would be to visit our practice in Guildford for a friendly, non-committal conversation. In doing so, you have the opportunity to familiarise yourself with both the intricacies of the procedure, as well as our practitioners here at Farnham Road Dental Practice.

This initial conversation and consultation period can also allow one of our dental implant specialists to assess your dental health. As installing dental implants involves a dental operation, then the patient has to be of a certain level of oral health. Any signs of onset periodontal (gum) disease, severe decay or extensive bone loss must be identified prior to beginning treatment, as this could result in the procedure being dangerous for the patient. Provided that no such signs or indicators that the patient is unfit to continue treatment however, then the insertion of the implants would then be carried out.

This begins with the gum tissue of the patient being stripped back in the space where the implant would be installed. Next, a titanium tooth root would be deeply inserted into the patient’s jawbone. This root would then begin to fuse itself with the bone tissue of the patient, which would result in the implant being forever fixed in place, like a tooth’s natural root would be. Then a replica denture is placed within the root and the gap is bridged, allowing the patient to smile fully and enjoy life to the fullest.
