Complete New Smile Treatment with Dental Implants in Bolton

If you have lost most, or even all, of your teeth, then dental implants in Bolton may be the perfect method for restoring the confidence, comfort, and happiness that comes with a perfect smile. For us, and many of our patients, this is the pinnacle of dental treatment – the ability to restore someone’s beautiful smile without the need for dentures is something of which we are incredibly proud. There are two methods through which we can give your smile a complete makeover: we can replace each missing tooth with an individual tooth implant; or we can place a number of implants into the jaw, onto which we then place one or more fixed ‘bridges’. Bridges are simply an effective method of fitting several adjacent teeth at the same time. Regardless of the method, once the treatment is complete, you will be the proud owner of a set of new teeth that are correctly aligned and properly functioning. Your new teeth will also possess the strength and attractive appearance of natural teeth.

Common Complete New Smile Questions

Do dental implants hurt?

Fitting dental implants involves drilling into the part of the jawbone where the tooth is missing, and placing there the titanium screw which will form the artificial root of your prosthetic tooth. It might sound painful, but don’t worry! – the team at Harwood Dental Practice always use a local anaesthetic when performing this part of the treatment! If, however, you are a particularly nervous patient, we can offer dental sedation to ensure you are as comfortable as possible throughout the procedure. But rest assured – dental implants are a minor surgical procedure that has been performed for many years with an excellent success rate.

Are dental implants safe?

There are very rarely problems associated with this treatment, and they can boast a success rate of 98%. In rare circumstances, however, some of the problems that can sometimes occur with dental implants are:

Peri–implantitis – this is the destructive inflammatory process that occasionally affects the soft and hard tissues surrounding dental implants. The best way to prevent peri-implantitis is to maintain a good oral health care regime, and to visit the dental hygienist regularly after your implants have been placed. You should also avoid smoking as this can increase the risk of peri-implantitis developing.

Pain after the implants have been placed – a small level of discomfort is not unusual in the first couple of weeks following dental implant treatment, and can be managed with inexpensive, over-the-counter painkillers. If the pain continues after this point or increases in severity, however, please contact us as soon possible, as this may signify an underlying problem. Discomfort after implant placement is normal – excessive pain is not.

How long do dental implants last?

Your replacement teeth will be like natural teeth in more than just appearance – tooth implants will also need regular care and maintenance. If you maintain a good oral health care regime, they can last for over a decade, with the metal implant roots by Straumann®, they can last a lifetime.

What is the cost of dental implants?

You can view our pricing by visiting our prices page.

Can anyone have dental implants?

Most people are perfectly suitable candidates, but there are some rare exceptions – unfortunately, smokers and those with significant bone loss may not be suitable. This is something we will assess in an initial dental implant consultation.
