What are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that provide a long-term base for replacement teeth. They are made of titanium and are surgically implanted into the jawbone, where they fuse with the bone to create a stable foundation for dental restorations. Dental implants are an excellent solution for people who have lost teeth due to injury, decay, or disease.

Benefits of Dental Implants

There are several benefits to getting dental implants, including:

Improved comfort: Dental implants are comfortable and feel natural in the mouth, making them a popular alternative to traditional dentures.
Improved oral health: Dental implants help maintain the health of surrounding teeth and prevent bone loss in the jaw.
Improved durability: With proper care, dental implants can last 15-20years and often longer, making them a cost-effective long-term solution.

Dental Implants FAQ's

Dental implants are an increasingly popular option for those looking to replace missing or damaged teeth. Here, we will provide answers to a selection of frequently asked questions about  dental implants.

If you don't see the information you are looking for, Contact Us, our team are waiting to assist you.
The dental implant procedure usually takes between 1-2 hours per implant. However, the entire process can take several months to complete, as the implant needs time to fuse with the jawbone.
The dental implant procedure is usually performed under local anaesthesia, so you shouldn't feel any pain during the procedure. After the procedure, you may experience some discomfort, but this can usually be managed with over-the-counter pain medication. We do offer sedation if you are a nervous patient
The recovery time for a dental implant procedure varies depending on the individual and the number of implants being placed. In most cases, patients can return to work and normal activities within a few days to a week after the procedure.
There are several types of dental implants available, including endosteal implants, subperiosteal implants, and zygomatic implants. Your dentist will recommend the best type of implant for your individual needs.
Most people are good candidates for dental implants, but there are some factors that may affect your eligibility, such as oral health, overall health, and the condition of your jawbone. Poor oral health is a major risk factor to the success of implant treatment.
With proper care, dental implants can last a 15-20 years and often longer. However, it's important to maintain good oral hygiene and attend regular dental check-ups to ensure the longevity of your implants.
Caring for your implants is similar to caring for your natural teeth. Good oral hygiene with brushing flossing and using interdental brushes. It is also beneficial to wear a night guard to protect the implant against bruxing forces.
Dental implants are often considered a better option than dentures or bridges, as they offer several advantages. Unlike dentures, which can slip and cause discomfort, dental implants provide a stable base for replacement teeth that look and feel natural. They also help maintain the health of surrounding teeth and prevent bone loss in the jaw. Bridges, on the other hand, require the removal of healthy tooth structure and may need to be replaced more frequently than dental implants.
The dental implant process can take several months to complete, as it involves several stages. The first stage involves a consultation with a dental professional, where they will assess your oral health and determine if you are a good candidate for the procedure. The second stage involves the surgical placement of the implant into the jawbone. After this, there is a healing period of 3-6 months, during which time the implant fuses with the bone. Finally, a dental restoration, such as a crown, bridge, or denture, is placed onto the implant, completing the process.
As with any surgical procedure, there are some risks associated with getting dental implants. These include infection, nerve damage, and implant failure. However, these risks are relatively low, and can be mitigated by choosing an experienced dental professional and following proper aftercare instructions.

Composite bonding is a nonporous material meaning that it has the potential to stain over time 🦷 Certain habits, foods, and drinks also have the potential to cause discolouration of composite bonding 🍝🍷

To preserve your teeth and reduce the likelihood of staining your composites you should try to avoid smoking, tea, coffee, red wine, carbonated drinks, curries, and sauces which are all pigmented foods and drinks that can stain your teeth. As an extra precaution, use a straw when drinking liquids to avoid contact directly with your teeth.

Regular check-ups and routine cleaning with your dentist is also great way of dealing with stains and can make your bonding look like new again 🤩

Many people think that brushing their teeth as hard and fast as they can, gives them a healthy, clean and white smile 🦷🪥

BUT it has the opposite effect. Brushing your teeth in this way wears away the white, glossy enamel making your teeth look yellow and darker. Dr Ronette explains 🙌🏻

Johan has been my Dentist for 10 years, he's an excellent Dentist who takes great pride in his... work. I've just completed having a dental implant with Johan, I knew he would do a great job, but being an anxious patient I had conscious sedation with Dental Sedation Solutions who the surgery have teamed up with. The procedure was brilliant, it was anxiety and stress free. I would highly recommend this surgery for a First Class Dental Experience from the minute you walk through the door.Kristineread more

I have a tremendous amount of trust and confidence in Johan and his team at Ramsbottom Dental Care.... About two years ago a front tooth broke and I have had an implant fitted. It was a masterclass in dental engineering. A 3 dimensional scan is made of the jaw and information transferred to a CAD (Computer Aided design) system. The implant is fitted using a guidance jig and the end result is a perfect match in size, alignment and tooth shade.Johan is very professional and pays a lot of attention to detail. I would not hesitate to recommend him and his team.R C Barkerread more

The use of advanced technology not only made the procedures more efficient but also instilled confidence in the quality of care provided.Overall, my visit to Ramsbottom Dental Care was really positive.

Taking time to explain everything and what to expect, I never felt pressured or rushed it was exactly what I needed to gain some confidence.

This practice is by far the very best I have been to - ever! ALL the staff are amazing, from the... warmest of welcomes on reception, to the most fantastic and 'state of the art' dental treatment by an experienced, professional and extremely caring dental team. The premises are inviting, relaxing, and absolutely spotless. I've instantly gone from a terrified patient to feeling reassured and happy with my treatment plan - in a very short period of time. I just wish we had found them sooner, and have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them (in fact I do so at every opportunity!) Never before has a dentist extracted my teeth without sedation, but Dr Johan did so with the very minimum of discomfort. I have now regained my smile, and could not be happier - thank you!read more

We lived in Canada for 20 years and when we returned to the UK eight years ago we struggled to find... a hygienist as thorough as our Canadian hygienist. Then we found Ramsbottom Dental Clinic and Kelly the hygienist. She is thorough but gentle and a lovely friendly person. The new premises are lovely with a large airy and bright waiting area. The receptionists are great and always make you feel welcome. I thoroughly recommend this dental practice.Lesley Welbourneread more
