At Liverpool Dental Spa we know how much a great looking smile means to our clients and it’ true to say that in some cases, treatment can transform your life, as well as your smile. With dental implants, we are able to restore the smile by replacing missing natural teeth with incredibly lifelike and highly functional prostheses, so you can enjoy a beautiful smile, as well as enhanced quality of life.

What exactly are dental implants?

Dental implants are small screw-shaped prostheses designed to take on the role of a missing tooth root. Like a root, the implant is anchored into a socket in the jaw bone. As titanium is biocompatible, the implant integrates into the bone tissue, enabling it to provide optimum support for the new tooth restoration. Once integration is complete, the implant can then be connected to a crown, denture or dental bridge and the new tooth or teeth will look exactly like the real thing.

What’s so good about dental implants?

Implants are the closest match to natural teeth and once they have been fitted, you really can enjoy the same benefits as a healthy, natural smile. The teeth are firmly supported so you can bite and chew without any worries and they look incredibly similar to natural teeth, so you can feel confident when you smile. Implants also last for many, many years, so they represent a really good long-term option. They are also very versatile, which makes them suitable in a diverse range of cases; whether you’re missing a single tooth or you have a full arch of lost teeth, implants could be the answer.

If you have missing teeth, we strongly recommend investigating tooth replacement treatment.

Modern treatments provide a really effective and natural way of dealing with gaps and restoring your smile.

There are various tooth replacement treatments available, including dentures, dental bridges and dental implants.

Do you need dental implants?

Dental implants are the source of interest and intrigue, as they are the newest tooth replacement on the block and they provide a long-term solution for lost teeth. Implants are small titanium screws attached to prosthetic teeth to form a new tooth that looks and functions like a natural tooth. As titanium is biocompatible, the implant is actually able to blend into the bone tissue and this gives the implant the same level of stability as a tooth root.

If you have missing teeth, dental implants could be the answer. With implants, you can enjoy the same level of functionality as with healthy natural teeth and you won’t be able to tell the difference between the new tooth and your natural teeth. Implants will enable you to speak clearly, eat properly and smile with confidence and they can be used for patients with a single lost tooth, a few missing teeth or a full set of missing teeth.

Are dental implants the best option for me?

Dental implants offer a host of benefits and they are a great option for most patients. However, there may be other options that you might like to consider. If you have missing teeth and you would like to find out about the treatments available to you, we recommend organising a consultation. When you come and see us, we will talk to you about the different treatments we have, explain the pros and cons and help you to make an informed choice.

Dental implants are a modern solution for tooth loss and we are proud to offer the world’s leading dental implant systems. Whether you are missing a single tooth or you’re looking for a replacement for multiple missing teeth, dental implants could be the answer.

What exactly is a dental implant?

A dental implant is a small screw-shaped device made from titanium. It is implanted into a small opening in the jaw bone and is designed to act as a replacement tooth root. Titanium is biocompatible and this means that implants are able to integrate into the actual bone tissue. This enables the implant to provide the same level of stability and support as a tooth root.

The integration stage takes a few months and once this is complete, the implant is then attached to a new restoration. This stage of treatment replaces the tooth crown. Implants are compatible with bridges, crowns and dentures, so they can be used for single or multiple tooth restorations.

What are the advantages of dental implant treatment?

Implants are the best long-term option for missing teeth. They are built to last, they provide amazing aesthetics, they are easy to maintain and they provide you the same level of functionality as strong natural teeth.

Implants are versatile and they are suitable for most patients. They can be used to replace a single tooth or a full arch of teeth and they produce amazing results without interfering with the oral structures or causing any discomfort.

In addition to standard dental implants, we also offer mini implants, implant-retained dentures and the amazing All-on-4 system.

About dental implants

A dental implant is a small post, which is made from titanium, which is secured into a hole in the jaw bone to act as a replacement for a missing tooth root. As titanium is compatible with the bone tissue, it is able to integrate into the bone and this enables the implant to provide the same level of stability for the new tooth as a natural root.

Once the integration process has taken place, a restoration is attached to the implant and this serves to replace the tooth crown. Implants are compatible with dentures, dental bridges and single crowns.

Why implants could be the best choice for you

Implants are a modern alternative to dentures and they represent a long term solution for patients of all ages. They are built to last and they are very easy to look after; they are also versatile and can be joined to bridges, dentures and crowns, which makes them a great choice for patients with varying dental needs.

Implants can help to reduce bone loss and they also offer optimum functionality; with implants, you can expect the same bite power as strong natural teeth, so no foods are off-limits.

How is an implant placed?

The procedure to place an implant is usually carried out under local anaesthetic. Your dentist will make a small incision into the gum tissue and then drill a small hole, which will act as the socket for the implant. Once the implant is securely in place, the incision will be closed and the healing and integration processes will begin. The permanent restoration is usually placed around 3-9 months after the implant.
