Dental Implants in Heswall

A single implant replaces a single tooth root. Once it is placed under local anaesthetic by an oral surgeon, a crown is screwed into the top of it.

During the time the implants and jawbone heal after the implant surgery, the jawbone has a lightbulb moment, where it believes there is actually a real tooth root there again. It’s this healing process and acceptance of the implant by the jaw that make dental implants superior to any other tooth replacement treatment.

Deciding to go ahead with implant treatment to fill the gap in your smile is a big step forward – but it’s one you won’t regret.

Here at The White House, one of the things we do best is communicate complex dental jargon to our patients, in the clearest possible terms.

Our patients find this extremely beneficial, as they gain a complete understanding of exactly:

• What happens at each stage of treatment.
• Why implants are the most viable tooth replacement treatment for long-term oral health.
• How we plan treatment so that your new tooth is as individual as you are.

We use state-of-the-art planning software and technology that makes every single one of your visits comfortable and stress-free.

If you’ve been without one or two teeth for a while, perhaps you’ve gotten used to what this feels like and adapted your eating habits and brushing habits accordingly. But it’s not until you have that gap replaced with an implant that you realise just how much it has impacted your life.

Living with gaps in your teeth ultimately leaves you more vulnerable to decay and gum disease. It also causes other teeth to do the work of the tooth that would otherwise be in the gap, which can lead to wear and tear in the future.

Once you have a full smile again, we are confident that you will feel much more comfortable smiling in public, without giving it a second thought.

• They have the same chewing ability as natural teeth.
