Dental Implants
A great fixed solution for missing teeth
Dental Implants In Walsall & Cannock
Tooth implants are a long-term and very discreet solution for replacing missing or damaged teeth. It is an artificial titanium tooth root replacement placed into the jawbone. Often used in dentistry to hold a replacement tooth, bridge or denture.
We know that having missing teeth can impact the way you eat, speak, and even change the shape of your face. All of which can reduce your confidence. We offer this service as a long-term, solution that will feel like natural teeth.
Implant-retained replacement teeth are generally more comfortable than dentures as there is no slipping or movement. They are also a great fixed alternative to bridgework for replacing missing teeth. This in turn eliminates the need to reshape or work on healthy teeth.
They can also help to maintain the shape and structure of the jaw bone which will change after teeth have been extracted.
What Are Dental Implants?
Tooth implants are artificial tooth roots that are placed into your jawbone. They are typically made of titanium, a biocompatible material that integrates well with bone tissue. Once the dental implant is placed, the bone tissue fuses with the implant in a process called osseointegration. This creates a strong and stable foundation for a replacement tooth or bridge to be attached.
They are considered a safe and effective solution for missing teeth. They offer a permanent and natural-looking solution that can help restore your smile and improve your dental health.
Benefits Of Dental Implants
They offer several benefits for people who have missing teeth. Some of the most significant advantages of tooth implants include:
- Improved appearance: They can help restore your smile and improve the appearance of your teeth.
- Enhanced dental function: They can help improve your ability to chew and eat, which can help maintain your overall dental health.
- Improved speech: They can help improve your speech by providing a stable foundation for your replacement teeth.
- Improved dental health: They can help prevent further tooth loss and improve your overall dental health by reducing the risk of gum disease and other dental problems.
- Long-lasting results: They can last for many years with proper care and maintenance.
Caring For Your Dental Implants
To ensure your dental implants last for many years, it is important to practice good oral hygiene. You should brush twice a day and floss daily to remove plaque and food particles that can build up around the implants. You should also avoid chewing on hard or sticky foods that can damage the implants or cause them to come loose.
It is also important to visit your dentist regularly for check-ups and cleanings. Your dentist can examine your implants and surrounding teeth to ensure they are in good condition and recommend any necessary repairs or maintenance.
Replace Missing Teeth Permanently
Millions suffer tooth loss, this is mostly due to tooth decay, or injury. Previously, the only treatment options available for people with missing teeth were bridges and dentures. However, tooth implants provide a more permanent and durable solution particularly if you are missing more than one tooth. Furthermore, they look and feel much better than bridges and dentures.

What Is The Process Of Getting Dental Implants?
The process of getting dental implants typically involves several appointments with your dentist. During the first appointment, your dentist will evaluate your dental health and determine if dental implants are the right solution for you. They will also take X-rays and impressions of your teeth to determine the placement of the implants. The next step involves placing the dental implant into your jawbone. This is typically done under local anaesthesia or sedation to ensure your comfort during the procedure. Once the implant is placed, a temporary crown or bridge is attached to the implant to allow the healing process to begin. After the healing process is complete, your dentist will attach the replacement tooth or bridge to the implant using a dental abutment.
