<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\nAt David Madruga<\/strong>, we know all about the dental implants process Marylebone<\/a> and can provide all of our patients with a step-by-step guide to this procedure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In this very brief guide, we look at the dental implants process Marylebone<\/strong>, so you can have a better idea of what to\nexpect when you come to us for this treatment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The consultation<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The first step in the dental implants\nprocess Marylebone<\/strong> is the consultation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n During this, we will assess suitability by taking\nX-rays of your jaw to explore if there is enough bone present to support the\nfitting of implants. We will enquire about your general health and will ask\nabout lifestyle choices, such as if you are a smoker and how often you consume\nalcohol. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The fitting<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n During the implant fitting, we will numb the gum,\nmake some incisions and then gently peel it back above where we want to fit the\nimplant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n We may use a vacant socket (if possible) or may\ndrill a new hole into the jaw to accommodate the implant. Once it is in place,\nwe will sew your gums around it to secure it more firmly in place and hence,\nthe surgery is complete!<\/p>\n\n\n\n The aftercare<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Once the implants have been placed, the aftercare\nis not too tricky but is worth adhering to, this will ensure that they fuse\ncorrectly and will prevent infection. <\/p>\n\n\n\n To keep the site clean, you should rinse it as\nrequired with saltwater until the gums around the implant site have healed. You\ndon\u2019t want to be causing disruption to it and instigating infection or\ninflammation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n We also recommend you avoid eating hot foods like\ncurry, or overly hard foods, as this can cause the implants to move and fuse at\nan odd angle. It is also worth keeping an eye out for signs of infection which\nare not limited to, but commonly include, fever, vomiting, discomfort,\ndiscolouration of the gums and the presence of pus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you notice any of these, please call our team\nfor a same-day appointment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The loading<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Once the implants have fused to your jaw, we will\nbook you in to have them loaded with the prosthetic tooth or teeth required;\nthis can be a single crown, a bridge or a full denture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This entire process can take up to an hour, but\nwill allow you to leave our surgery with a great looking functional smile. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Remember, we will have tailored the prosthetics\nto blend in with any natural teeth that you may have or we can create a brand\nnew set of teeth, which can look as natural or as Hollywood-esque as you want them\nto!<\/p>\n\n\n\n The maintenance<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n With oral implants, for them to last long-term, you will need to treat them as you would treat your real or natural teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That means brushing them twice a day, flossing or cleaning in between them with interdental brushes, rinsing with mouthwash and attending appointments with our dental team twice a year. This will allow us to ensure that the implants are still in place, are not damaged, are not being rejected and that you are not developing gum disease which can cause them to come loose. So, in short, they require no additional maintenance. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Curious about what occurs during an oral implant fitting?
