The dental implant process

We understand that undergoing any dental procedure can be daunting. We strive to make the dental implant process in Falmouth as comfortable and transparent as possible. Here's what you can expect:

1

Consultation and assessment

Your journey begins with a thorough consultation. We will assess your oral health, discuss your treatment goals, and determine if you are a suitable candidate for dental implants. This may involve X-rays and 3D scans.

2

Implant placement

The dental implant, a small titanium post, is surgically placed into your jawbone. This acts as the artificial root for your new tooth. The procedure is typically performed under local anaesthetic.

3

Healing and osseointegration

After implant placement, a period of healing is required to allow osseointegration to occur. This is the process where the implant fuses with your jawbone, creating a strong and stable foundation.

4

Abutment placement

Once osseointegration is complete, an abutment is attached to the implant. The abutment connects the implant to the final restoration.

5

Crown placement

Finally, a custom-made crown (artificial tooth) is attached to the abutment. The crown is designed to match the shape, size, and colour of your natural teeth, providing a seamless and natural-looking result.

Ridge preservation: maintaining your foundation for implants

Following tooth extraction, the jawbone naturally begins to resorb, meaning it shrinks in both height and width. This bone loss can significantly impact the success of future implant placement. Insufficient bone can make it difficult, or even impossible, to place implants securely and can also affect the aesthetic outcome.

Ridge preservation is a procedure performed at the time of tooth extraction to minimise this bone loss and maintain the natural contours of the gum and bone. It involves placing a bone graft material into the empty socket where the tooth was extracted. This material acts as a scaffold, encouraging the body's natural bone to grow and fill the space.

Why is ridge preservation important?

Dr Chandarana is skilled in this important procedure and can advise you if ridge preservation is recommended in your case.

Timescales

The entire dental implant process, from initial consultation to final crown placement, typically takes between 3 to 6 months.

This timeframe can vary depending on individual circumstances, such as the health of your jawbone, the need for any additional procedures like ridge preservation, and the complexity of your case. We will provide you with a personalised timeline during your consultation.

Implant-retained overdentures: a stable alternative to traditional dentures

For patients missing all their teeth, implant-retained overdentures offer a more stable and comfortable alternative to traditional dentures. Instead of resting solely on the gums, these dentures clip onto dental implants that have been placed in the jawbone. This provides significantly improved retention, allowing you to eat and speak with greater confidence. Implant-retained overdentures can be a more affordable option than a full set of individual implants and crowns.
