What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are an artificial replacement for a tooth that’s fixed to your jaw bone like a normal tooth. If you look after your teeth and implants properly, they can last for the rest of your life.

They are made of titanium and have an internal screw called an abutment that holds a false tooth in place.

A single dental implant can support one, or several, replacement teeth – you don’t need to have one implant per replacement tooth. How many you need will depend on how many teeth you need to replace and how strong your jawbone is in these areas. 

Your dentist will advice you how many implants you need if you have more than one or all missing teeth. 

Making the Decision

Dental implant surgery involves having at least one operation. You need to have healthy gums and your jawbone needs to be strong enough to hold the implants.

Some dentists won’t insert dental implants if you smoke, as it can affect how well the treatment works. Implants are also less likely to work if you’ve had radiotherapy. Some medical conditions, such as diabetes or osteoporosis, might affect how well implants work but more research is needed to know for sure. It’s possible that your dentist might not recommend you have implants if you have either of these conditions. Your dentist will let you know if implants are an option for you.

What steps are involved?

Your dentist will talk to you about what will happen before, during, and after the procedure, and any pain you might have. 

It’s really important that you understand what to expect so you can decide whether to go ahead. Your dentist should go through the risks as well as the benefits. 

Think about any questions you want to ask – maybe write them down in advance so you don’t forget. If you decide to go ahead with the procedure, you’ll be asked to sign a consent form so you need to know what’s involved.

Your dentist will also give you a details consent form and treatment plan for your information.

Alternative Options?

Dental implants are not the only options available and this will be discussed in more details before proceeding with implant surgery. These options include:

  • removable dentures (false teeth) – plastic or metal frameworks that hold false teeth

  • a bridge – false teeth that are fixed onto your adjacent natural teeth

If these options above are not suitable then dental implants would be the right choice.

Had treatment today, I was a nervous wreck but treated so well. Very happy with service. Small downside for me was receptionist constantly and very obviously chewing gum, took my payment and not even a goodbye as I left. Maybe I'm too old fashioned!

Dental Implants

The average price of an implant in the UK (including the implant, abutment and crown) is £2,500 but costs vary depending on individual needs. Your dentist will discuss the price of your treatment plan during your initial consultation. Check our website price list for more information. 

Dental implants can be more expensive than other solutions for missing teeth, such as dentures and bridges, but offer much more in terms of comfort and discretion, and provide a longer-term solution

Dental implants can be suitable for adults of any age. Implants aren’t recommended for under 18s as the jaw is still growing and the bone tissue hasn’t fully developed yet.

In your initial consultation, you’ll be assessed for your suitability for treatment. Occasionally, dental implants might not be recommended for some patients for medical reasons. For example, if you have previously had radiotherapy in your jaw or if you have diabetes which isn’t under control.

 

If you smoke, you’ll be advised to give up before having an implant fitted. Research shows that the rate of implant failure is much higher for those who smoke than those who don’t.

Yes. Dentures are a popular solution to replace missing teeth, but people sometimes choose to replace their dentures with implants because they’re fixed into the jaw and eliminate the need for adhesives.

Implants are fitted under local anaesthetic which numbs the mouth, so you shouldn’t feel your implant being fitted.

After your surgery, you’ll likely have some pain, bruising and swelling which will probably last around a week. This is normal, and you’ll be able to go to work the day after your procedure.

Your pain should ease with over-the-counter painkillers. If you’re concerned that your pain is abnormal, you should always consult your dentist.

If you look after them properly, implants can last as long as your natural teeth. It’s important to make sure you care for your implant properly to get the maximum lifespan out of it and reduce the risk of infection.

The time it takes for dental implants to be placed varies from person to person. The average length of time is between three and nine months, but this might be longer depending on your individual needs, and whether you need any preparation work such as extractions or bone grafts.

Dental implants are inserted directly into the jaw, so your dentist needs to make sure there’s enough bone to support the implant. If you don’t have enough, it’s possible to graft bone from your other body parts, commonly your shin or hip, and insert it into the jaw.

 

A bone graft may be performed under local anaesthetic, or in hospital under general anaesthetic, depending on where the bone comes from. This may add some time to having your implant fitted, but can be necessary for the implant to be a success. Although this may sound intimidating, it’s a common surgery and is nothing to be worried about.

Dental implants are screwed into your jaw bone to hold a new, false tooth in place, whereas bridges use the surrounding teeth as support for a false tooth or teeth. Sometimes, some healthy parts of your natural teeth have to be cut away to support bridges, whereas dental implants do not harm the surrounding teeth.
