Replacing Teeth or Implant Bridge
- The loss of a tooth could be caused from many different reasons; tooth decay, infection, gum disease, trauma, or removal of an impacted tooth.
- A single dental implant is the most functional secure replacement for a missing tooth, allowing you to eat, smile and laugh with confidence.
What is single dental implant?
A single titanium implant is placed into the jaw, as the replacement root. It’s a straightforward process which can be completed under local anaesthetic.
How long does it take for dental implant procedure?
The implant will need three to six months to heal and integrate with your jaw bone to provide a solid support for your replacement tooth.
What does the dental implant involve?
A single dental implant is placed into the jaw, as the replacement root. It’s a straightforward process which will be completed under local anaesthetic. The implant will need eight to twelve weeks to achieve integration within your jaw bone and provide a solid support for your replacement tooth.
TA temporary crown is not usually fitted at the same time as your implant placement. Instead a healing abutment is placed, this will stay in place until the final restoration appointment.
Once your implant has integrated, an impression will be taken and a bespoke crown commissioned from our dental laboratory. This process usually takes a further two weeks.
