Dental implants in Guildford<\/strong> are small metal posts, made of titanium that are used in the replacement of tooth roots of missing teeth. Dental implants work as a permanent fixture in the treatment of tooth loss, and due to the comfort and stability they can provide for your replacement tooth or teeth, dental implants in Guildford have become a popular choice of treatment amongst patients and dentists. If you have been affected by tooth loss, then speak to us here at Farnham Road Dental Practice<\/strong> to find out how dental implants in Guildford can help put that beautiful smile back on your face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The procedure for dental implants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether your tooth has had to be taken out or it has fallen out due to dental issues, rest assured that your well-being is our priority and we will work with you to address your specific needs and design an individually tailored treatment plan to help meet your requirements. The dentist will examine your mouth fully to ensure that you have no other underlying dental issues and will then explain the treatment procedure for dental implants in Guildford<\/strong> to you. A local anaesthetic will be administered to help numb the area to ensure your comfort and ease during the procedure. The implant is then placed into the bone socket of the missing tooth, then the surrounding bone cells, known as osteoblasts, will grow around the implant and secure it permanently into the alveolar bone of your jaw. This is a natural process that can require approximately 12 weeks from when the implant is inserted into the jaw for it to become permanently fused into the bone. Over the next few weeks, the dentist will examine the implant to ensure successful integration and once the dentist is satisfied with the result then the procedure can continue. A small connector post, which is known as an abutment, will be attached to the implant and this is designed to hold the new tooth securely in place. Depending on your specific requirements, the new tooth or teeth are designed by making an impression of your existing teeth and using this model to create either a crown or a set of dentures to match your natural existing teeth. These can then be securely attached to the implant via the abutment. Dentures are usually preferred over multiple crowns in the case of multiple missing teeth, however, this will depend on your individual needs, choice and what the dentist will recommend for you. Dental implants help improve the aesthetics of your mouth as well as return the functioning of your teeth and mouth which may have been lost as a result of tooth loss.
