Dental Implants

A permanent solution for missing teeth

Dental Implants Islington

At Islington Green Dental Practice, we are proud to offer dental implants, the gold standard for replacing missing teeth. Dental implants are a life-changing solution, providing a secure and long-lasting anchor for dentures, bridges, or individual teeth. Designed to look, feel, and function like natural teeth, implants help restore your smile and confidence.

Why Consider Dental Implants?

Losing a tooth or multiple teeth can impact not only your confidence but also your oral health. Gaps in your smile can cause:

• Shifting of surrounding teeth, leading to misalignment.
• Increased wear and pressure on nearby teeth.
• Changes in facial structure, resulting in a “caved-in” or aged appearance.

Dental implants provide a permanent solution to these issues, helping you maintain the structure and function of your mouth while improving your quality of life.

Benefits of Dental Implants

Dental implants offer numerous advantages over traditional tooth replacement options:

• Natural Look and Feel: Implants are designed to match your natural teeth in appearance and function.
• Enhanced Confidence: Smile, eat, and speak with ease.
• Long-Lasting Solution: With proper care, implants can last a lifetime.
• Preservation of Facial Structure: Prevents the sunken appearance associated with missing teeth.
• Support for Dentures and Bridges: Provides a stable foundation, reducing discomfort and improving function.
• Improved Oral Health: Reduces wear and tear on surrounding teeth and prevents drifting.

Types of Dental Implants

At Islington Green Dental Practice, we offer a range of implant solutions tailored to your needs:

1. Single-Tooth Implants: Perfect for replacing an individual missing tooth, restoring both function and aesthetics.
2. Multiple-Tooth Implants: Ideal for replacing several missing teeth without affecting adjacent healthy teeth.
3. Dental Bridges on Implants: Provides a stable and secure solution for larger gaps.
4. Implant-Retained Dentures: Offers a secure fit, eliminating the discomfort of poorly fitting traditional dentures.

Our team will assess your unique situation and recommend the best option for you.

The Dental Implant Process

Getting dental implants involves several steps to ensure the best results:

1. Initial Consultation: We assess your oral health, discuss your goals, and determine if implants are right for you.
2. Implant Placement: The titanium implant is surgically placed in the jawbone to act as a secure anchor.
3. Healing Period: The implant integrates with the bone over a few months, creating a stable foundation.
4. Restoration: A custom crown, bridge, or denture is attached to the implant, completing your new smile.

Our experienced team ensures that every step of the process is comfortable and seamless.
