Dental Implants in Manchester and Cheshire

What are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are replacement tooth roots made from titanium. Once an implant has been surgically placed into your jawbone, it becomes accepted by the body as if it were a living entity. The biocompatible marriage between the jawbone and the implant makes this method of tooth replacement treatment unique. Implants are the only tooth replacement solution that simulates the behaviour of a real tooth.

Once an implant has been placed, a restoration (the tooth-like part) fits over the top. You will then be able to smile, eat, and behave normally again.

What does the process involve?

• Initial consultation to establish your suitability. We will assess your jawbone density and evaluate your general medical history.
• Provided no failing teeth need to be removed, we can proceed with your implant surgery. This is carried out under local anaesthetic. Should we need to remove problematic teeth, this will be carried out first, and your mouth will need to heal before the implant surgery.
• Impressions of your teeth are taken so a crown can be custom-made for your smile.
• Once your jaw has healed, your new crown can be placed.

It’s also possible to secure a bridge and removable dentures to implants for enhanced stability.

Once your implant is placed, routine dentist and hygienist appointments are necessary to maintain your implant’s good condition and oral health.
