If you are considering dental implants, you likely have a lot of questions. This blog is here to answer all of your questions and provide you with all the information you need to make an informed decision about whether dental implants are right for you.
What are dental implants?
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that are surgically implanted in the jawbone. They are made of titanium, a biocompatible material that is safe for the body. Dental implants are used to replace missing teeth or to secure dentures in place.
How do dental implants work?
Dental implants are anchored in the jawbone and are used to support a dental restoration, such as a crown, bridge, or denture. The implant is surgically placed in the jawbone, and over time, it fuses with the bone. This creates a sturdy foundation for the dental restoration.
Who is a candidate for dental implants?
Most people who are missing one or more teeth are candidates for dental implants. However, it is important to have good oral health and enough bone density to support the implant. Your implant dentist will perform a comprehensive evaluation to determine if dental implants are right & safe for you.
What are the benefits of dental implants?
The benefits of dental implants include: - restored appearance, restored eating function, improved oral health, improved quality of life, increased self-confidence & increased self-esteem by replacing gaps in your teeth with a totally natural looking implant tooth.
Are dental implants permanent?
Dental implants are permanent. Once they are fused with the jawbone, they provide a sturdy foundation for dental restorations.
How much do dental implants cost?
The cost of dental implants varies depending on the type of implant, the materials used & the complexity of the treatment. However, on average, dental implants cost between £3,000 and £5,000, as a guide price.
