Dental implants are advanced solutions used to replace missing teeth. They consist of a titanium post that acts as a replacement for the tooth root, which is securely placed into the jawbone. A custom-made crown, bridge, or denture is then attached to restore both function and aesthetics.
Ideal candidates for dental implants have good oral health, adequate bone density, and healthy gums. If you have missing teeth, are experiencing bone loss, or have discomfort with traditional options like dentures or bridges, dental implants may be the best solution.
While the thought of surgery may seem daunting, dental implant procedures are minimally invasive and performed under local anaesthesia. Most patients experience minimal discomfort during the procedure, and any post-operative pain can be managed with over-the-counter medications.
The entire dental implant process usually spans several months. From the initial consultation and planning to the final restoration, the timeline can vary depending on factors such as healing time, complexity, and the number of implants required. Typically, the entire process takes 4 to 6 months.
With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime. Regular check-ups, good oral hygiene, and professional maintenance help maintain the longevity and health of your implants.
Dental implants offer numerous benefits over alternatives like dentures or bridges. They are more stable, preserve bone health, and provide a natural look and feel. Unlike removable options, implants integrate directly with your jawbone for long-term durability and functionality.
The success rate of dental implants is extremely high, with over 95% of cases achieving long-term success. At Novodente, we use advanced technology and work closely with specialists to ensure the best possible outcomes.
Recovery from dental implant surgery is relatively quick, with most patients returning to their daily routines within a few days. We provide post-operative instructions to ensure a smooth healing process, and our team monitors your progress throughout.
The cost of dental implants varies depending on the number of implants, the complexity of the procedure, and whether additional restorations like crowns or dentures are needed. Treatment starts at around £3000. During your initial consultation, we will provide a personalised treatment plan and transparent cost estimate.
If bone density is insufficient, procedures like bone grafting may be required to build up the jawbone. We will evaluate your situation and develop a tailored treatment plan to ensure a successful implant procedure.
