Dental Implants – The ultimate solution for missing teeth at Coombe Dental Care
Are you tired of worrying about the gaps in your smile due to missing teeth? Have you heard of dental implants and would need a reliable dentist in Salisbury for the procedure? Look no further. At our dental clinic on Coombe Road, we take pride in offering top-quality dental implant services and giving you the smile you have always dreamt of.
What are dental implants?
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots surgically placed into the jawbone to support replacement teeth or dental prostheses. They serve as a sturdy foundation for crowns, bridges, or dentures, mimicking the natural function and appearance of real teeth.
Beauty is not everything
When you lose a tooth, the most obvious consequence you feel is the gap ruining your smile. Losing a tooth, however, can affect your face and jawbone in several ways. Your jawbone needs the stimulation it gets from chewing to stay healthy and strong. When you lose a tooth, this stimulation decreases, and over time, the jawbone can start to shrink or weaken. This can cause your face to look sunken or older because there is less support for your skin and muscles. Additionally, nearby teeth might shift or tilt into the empty space, which can affect your bite and make it harder to chew properly.
Why choose dental implants over dentures?
Dental implants are designed to look, feel, and function just like natural teeth, seamlessly blending in with your existing smile. Unlike dentures or bridges, which may need replacement over time, dental implants offer a permanent solution to missing teeth. They preserve the health of your jawbone by stimulating it and helping to preserve its strength and integrity. Dental implants restore proper bite function, allowing you to chew and speak confidently without worrying about slipping or discomfort. Can you imagine what it would feel like to eat and laugh without any worries again?
Quality you can trust
At Coombe Dental Care, we understand that your smile is precious, which is why we are committed to providing the highest quality dental implant services.
Expertise and Experience: Precision is crucial when placing dental implants because they essentially act as artificial tooth roots. If they are not positioned correctly in the jawbone, they may fail to integrate properly or provide adequate support for the replacement teeth. Our team of highly skilled dentists, with Dr Pedro Neto at the forefront, has years of experience in placing dental implants. We will meticulously plan and execute implant placement using advanced techniques and technology to ensure the best possible results for you.
State-of-the-Art Technology: We utilise advanced dental technology, including digital imaging and 3D cone beam CT scans, to plan and execute dental implant procedures with unparalleled accuracy and precision.
Personalised Care: We believe in personalised treatment plans prepared specifically to meet your needs and goals. From initial consultation to post-procedure follow-up, we are with you every step of the way, ensuring your comfort and satisfaction throughout the process.
What can you expect?
We understand that you may be a little bit apprehensive about what will happen to you during the procedure, so let us walk you through the stages of it so you know exactly what to expect:
Initial consultation: Dr Pedro Neto and our team will conduct a thorough examination of your mouth, including X-rays or a 3D scan. We will discuss your medical history, dental goals, and treatment options with you and assess whether you are a suitable candidate for dental implants.
Preparation: If necessary, any remaining damaged teeth may need to be removed before the implant surgery. We will also address any underlying dental issues, such as gum disease, to ensure the success of the procedure.
Implant placement: During the implant placement surgery, an incision in the gum tissue will be made to expose the jawbone. A small hole will be then drilled into the bone, and the titanium implant will be carefully inserted into the precise position. The gum tissue is then stitched back into place, and the implant is left to fuse with the bone during a process called osseointegration.
Healing period: After the implant placement, there is a healing period of several months during which osseointegration occurs. During this time, the implant becomes firmly anchored to the jawbone, providing a stable foundation for the replacement tooth.
Abutment placement: Once osseointegration is complete, a small connector called an abutment is attached to the implant. This serves as the base for the dental crown, bridge, or denture that will be placed on top.
Final restoration: Finally, the custom-made dental restoration (crown, bridge, or denture) is securely attached to the abutment, completing the implant restoration.
Throughout the entire process, we will prioritise your comfort and safety, using local anaesthesia or sedation as needed to minimise any discomfort. We will also provide detailed aftercare instructions to promote healing and ensure the long-term success of your dental implants.
