Dental Implants in Nottingham in just 4 steps
Initial Consultation
You will firstly have a full consultation with your dentist to assess your needs and to decide how many implants are necessary for you. We will review your medical history, take an x-ray of your mouth and a mould impression of your mouth will be made. This is to ensure your dental implants fit you perfectly, and we can help you achieve your best treatment outcome. It is also possible that a scan of your jawbone is necessary to assess if you have enough jawbone to hold the implant, but your experienced dentist can advise on this if necessary.
Implant placement
Once your tooth implants are ready, they can be placed into your mouth. This will be done in a minor surgical procedure, under sterile conditions and if required, sedation alongside local anaesthetic can be administered. The titanium implant is placed into your jawbone and overtime will fuse to the bone itself. This ensures complete fixture to the mouth, making dental implants exceptionally durable.
Settling
This process involves fusing the implant to the bone can take between 6 weeks and 6 months, it’s entirely patient specific. If necessary, dentures or bridgework can be worn to ensure optimum results.
Your Brand New Smile
Once your crown is fitted and colour-matched to your teeth, you can smile with confidence again. Using a porcelain crown, the natural looking teeth will be constructed by a dental technician working closely with the dental surgeon. This assures that the new tooth is a perfect match to the existing teeth if a full set is not required.
