What to expect<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before\nthe procedure, David Madruga<\/strong> will\nthoroughly assess your oral health to determine if dental implants are the best\noption for you. We will create a customised treatment plan to address your\nspecific needs and goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nactual dental implant procedure is typically performed in multiple stages, with\nthe initial surgery involving the placement of the titanium implant into the\njawbone. After the implant has been placed, the area will need time to heal,\nand the implant will need to fuse with the jawbone, a process known as\nosseointegration. This can take several months and may require multiple\nfollow-up appointments with our dentist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once\nthe implant is fully integrated with the jawbone, a second surgery will be\nperformed to attach an abutment, or connector, to the implant. This is the\npiece that will hold the final restoration, or artificial tooth, in place. The\nfinal restoration can be a crown, bridge, or denture, based on the requirements\nfor replacing missing teeth <\/strong>Marylebone<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\nentire dental implant process can take several months to complete, but the end\nresult is a natural looking and functional replacement for your missing tooth\nor teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The importance of proper aftercare for dental implants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As with\nany surgical procedure, it is important to follow proper aftercare to ensure\nthe success of your dental implants. After the surgery, it is not uncommon to\nexperience some swelling and discomfort, which can be managed with\nover-the-counter pain medication as directed by our dentist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is\nalso important to practise good oral hygiene to ensure the longevity of your\ndental implants. This includes brushing and flossing daily and using an\nantimicrobial mouth rinse. Regular dental check-ups and cleanings will also be\nnecessary to maintain the health of your dental implants<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Common questions and concerns about dental implants<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\nunderstand that you may have questions and concerns about dental implants, and\nwe are here to help address them. We look at some common questions here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Are dental implants painful?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While\nyou may experience some discomfort during the procedure, most patients report\nlittle to no pain after the procedure. Your dentist will provide you with a\nlocal anaesthetic to numb the treatment area and may also prescribe pain\nmedication to help manage any discomfort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Will dental implants look and feel natural?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Implants\nare designed to look and feel just like natural teeth. They are customised to\nmatch the shape, size, and colour of your surrounding teeth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

How long do dental implants last?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In fact, with proper care, dental implants have a success rate of over 95%. However, it is important to note that individual results may vary, and certain factors, such as oral hygiene and overall health, can affect the longevity of your dental implants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
