Dental Implants High Wycombe

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made from a titanium screw that is placed into the surrounding bone tissue. Once healed, the implant provides stable support for replacement teeth such as crowns, bridges or full-mouth restorations.

A dental implant is designed to replace the root portion of a missing tooth, helping preserve bone tissue and maintain the natural facial structure. Unlike dentures, implants are fixed in place and function much like natural teeth.

Why Choose Dental Implants?

Although there are many options available for missing teeth, dental implants remain a popular option in High Wycombe.

The benefits include:

• Restoring chewing ability
• Supporting clear speech
• Preventing bone loss after tooth loss
• Protecting remaining teeth from unnecessary strain
• Providing a natural-looking smile
• Offering a long-term solution that can last many years

Once the implant treatment has been completed, all it takes is some good oral hygiene and regular dental care to ensure the implants maintain their effectiveness for as long as possible. Ultimately, this is why patients love our dental implant treatment. After all, you’re not expected to do anything out of the ordinary to keep your completed smile beaming with confidence.

When you come to Face Teeth Smile, you will be met by an extremely helpful and knowledgeable team ready to ensure your treatment goes to plan. Step one for making that happen is a comprehensive dental implant consultation.

At our dental centre, we will carry out a full assessment of your mouth, gums and surrounding bone tissue to determine whether you are a suitable candidate for implant treatment. As several factors can influence your treatment and recovery (bone quality, oral health needs and lifestyle habits), we will also review your medical history, general health and any current medications.

During this consultation, we also urge you to ask any questions you have about dental implants, or any other cosmetic dentistry treatment we offer.

Who Is Suitable for Dental Implants?

First and foremost, fully developed jawbones and a sufficient quantity of bone tissue are essential for a successful dental implant placement. This naturally eliminates children and young adults.

However, some conditions require additional assessment, including:

• Autoimmune disease
• Patients undergoing radiation treatment
• Significant bone loss
• Teeth grinders
• Excessive alcohol intake

Our skilled dentists will explain whether implants are appropriate for you and discuss alternative treatment options if needed, such as dental bridges or dentures.

It all comes down to what will be the safest and most effective treatment option for your needs!

Although it’s not very common at Face Teeth Smile, we have to stress that there are possible risks and considerations with dental implant treatment.

These potential risks include:

• Infection
• Implant failure
• Delayed healing

There are actions that can be taken by patients to ensure success, starting with following aftercare instructions, attending routine check-ups, and maintaining excellent oral hygiene.

The more rigidly patients can follow the necessary dental care advice, the less likely any risks or considerations will become a factor.
