Tooth loss is unfortunately a condition that affects all ages. Poor dental health may tip you off to the impending loss of a tooth, while an accident or injury can take you by surprise. It is important to seek prompt treatment to restore form and function to your missing teeth. The most reliable solution around is dental implants. Hampshire is home to our modern and friendly practice, where dental implant treatment is carried out to return smiles to our patients’ faces. So whether you have lost one, several or all of your teeth, Dental Implants Hampshire is here to help.

Dental implants: the basics

These small titanium screws are designed to act as artificial tooth roots. Once placed into your jaw, they support local bone growth to firmly secure them in place. Once your replacement teeth are attached on top, you can look forward to a level of stability that traditional dentures simply can’t match. This means eating tough and chewy foods won’t be a problem.

Dental implants also come with the added benefit of safe-guarding your future dental health. They prevent shrinking of the jawbones and gums, which often occurs after tooth loss, even among denture users.

Your implant journey with us

At our practice in Hampshire, dental implants are precisely and carefully fitted by an experienced implant dentist. Before your treatment, you will receive a thorough examination of your teeth and gums to ensure you are ready to receive your dental implants. Photos of your teeth, face and smile will also be taken, alongside any necessary x-rays.

The procedure itself will be carried out under local anaesthetic to numb any pain and ensure you are as comfortable as possible. We also offer sedation for more anxious patients. After you have had time to heal, your custom-made replacement teeth can be attached. The end result is a natural look and feel to your newly reconstructed teeth.

We strive to ensure that all of our patients feel relaxed and well taken care of throughout their treatment. You will therefore have a dedicated treatment co-ordinator to make sure your journey is as smooth as possible. So call or email us today to take advantage of dental implants in Hampshire.

The goal of dental implant surgery is simple to: replace your missing teeth. However, there are quite a few details you need to consider. When you have the treatment with Dental Implants Hampshire, we will guide you through the process in detail before you decide to go ahead.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us. The best way to get started is to visit us so that we can address your particular concerns and shape our advice to fit the conditions in your mouth.

What do dental implants do?

Dental implants are small metal screws or cylinders that support prosthetic teeth. Essentially, they do a similar job to the tooth root but there are a few differences.

Each dental implant can support more than one tooth if needs be. A row of teeth or even a complete arch can be mounted on a bridge or dentures. Some dentures only require four implants to support the entire upper or lower set.

How are they fitted?

You dental implants are fitted right into the jawbone. The dental surgeon will drill holes into the bone under local or general anaesthetic. The bone will then regrow around the implant as your body heals. This effect means that they are integrated into your body and work extremely well alongside the motion of your jaw. They can also withstand the pressures and movements of your teeth whilst you are chewing. It is this effect that allows teeth mounted on dental implants to be used in very similar ways to normal teeth.

How long does it take?

When you visit Dental Implants Hampshire, we will be able to give you a clear idea about timescales, costs and so on. Dental implants are a long-term procedure. The fitting itself is relatively quick and will only take a couple of hours in most cases. Healing can take up to two months and, during that time, you will need to rest and eat a limited diet. As the healing progresses, you can gradually return to normal levels of activity and introduce your favourite foods back into your repertoire.

We will give you all the information you need to prepare for your treatment and take care of yourself afterwards. At Dental Implants Hampshire, we have seen patients enjoy the impact of dental implants again and again. We look forward to helping you become one of those people.

If you have suffered from tooth loss, effective treatment is key to restoring your quality of life and your smile. The gaps created by missing teeth can change the way you eat, chew and speak, while the cosmetic impact can knock your confidence. Dentures are a long-standing solution but can be uncomfortable, cause irritation and slip out of place. Dental Implants Hampshire offers a clinically proven alternative, without all of these downsides. Dental implants in Hampshire can reliably and effectively restore your missing teeth, using the latest in dental materials and technology.

Understanding how dental implants work

Your teeth can be thought of in two halves, what you can see above your gums and what lies below, namely the tooth roots. Dental implants act as artificial tooth roots, on top of which replacement teeth can be attached to complete the reconstruction of your teeth.

At our modern practice in Hampshire, dental implants are precisely placed in your jawbone by one of our highly trained dentists. Once fitted, they encourage the growth of new bone to firmly secure your implants in place. A period of healing is needed for this process to complete. Your custom-made replacement teeth can then be added.

Why choose dental implants in Hampshire?

Dental implants offer several advantages over traditional dentures. The most obvious perk is their superior stability. Without the worry of your replacement teeth slipping, you can enjoy mealtimes again, even when faced with tough and chewy foods. Dental implants also prevent your jawbone from degenerating and your gums from receding. This is a common occurrence after tooth loss and can leave neighbouring teeth more vulnerable to damage and even falling out themselves.

A pain-free experience

At Dental Implants Hampshire, we take the greatest efforts to ensure your dental implant journey is free of pain and worry. Local anaesthetic is used to fit your implants, with sedation available for more nervous patients. You will know precisely what to expect from your treatment, as our experienced dentists will walk you through your procedure and answer all of your questions. So whether you have lost one tooth, several or a whole mouthful, dental implants in Hampshire can give you long lasting results worth smiling about.

Have you suffered from tooth loss? If so, it’s important to seek treatment as soon as possible. If untreated, your dental health can suffer, impacting your day-to-day life. You needn’t resign yourself to a future filled with fretting over loose dentures and grappling with denture adhesives. For tackling tooth loss in Hampshire, dental implants are here to give you peace of mind. At Dental Implants Hampshire, a dedicated team of dentists are on hand to restore patients’ smiles with high quality dental implants.

What are dental implants?

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots. In combination with replacement teeth, they provide a complete restoration of missing teeth, from top to bottom. Made from titanium, dental implants are simply small screws that are fixed into your jaw bone. They encourage local bone growth, which allows them to firmly take hold. This provides an enhanced level of stability for replacement teeth that are fitted on top. Traditional dentures simply can’t beat dental implants when it comes to stability. What’s more, unlike dentures, dental implants protect your jawbone and gums from shrinking, which often occurs following tooth loss.

Your implant procedure

At our modern practice in Hampshire, dental implants are fitted with care and precision using the latest dental techniques and materials available. Your implant procedure will be pain-free with the use of local anaesthetic, gently applied using Wand technology. For more nervous patients, hypnosis and sedation are also available.

A period of healing is needed for your implants to completely integrate into your jawbone. We can speed up this recovery period using innovative PRGF-ENDORET technology.

Your replacement teeth will be custom-made to provide a natural finish to the reconstruction of your teeth. With good dental hygiene, your dental implants in Hampshire can last you a lifetime.

In our capable hands, dental implants can be used to treat the loss of a single tooth, multiple teeth or even a mouthful of teeth. In the latter case, All-On-4 technology means just four dental implants are needed per jaw. So whatever the case, Dental Implants Hampshire is on hand to help you overcome tooth loss.

Arrange a consultation with one of our highly trained dentists today, to take the first step along your dental implant journey.

If you have suffered from tooth loss, then you may be facing the daunting prospect of lifelong denture use. While this can remedy the gaps created by missing teeth, dentures come with their own set of problems. This includes concerns over whether they will stay in place, discomfort when they rub against your mouth, and the hassles of using denture adhesives. All of these problems can become a thing of the past with dental implants in Hampshire. This modern and clinically proven solution to tooth loss is available at Dental Implants Hampshire, where you will receive high quality care with reliable results.

Why you should act now?

Tooth loss in itself can be a stressful experience. The long-term consequences are no less worrisome. If left untreated, your jawbone can shrink and your gums recede. This puts teeth neighbouring the site of tooth loss at greater risk of tilting and toppling. Unfortunately these consequences occur even with long-term denture use. Dental implants in Hampshire provide an effective solution for missing teeth, which can protect you against these unsavoury effects on your dental health.

How do dental implants work?

Dental implants are made from lightweight titanium, formed into small screws. In a minor surgical procedure, under local anaesthetic, they are placed directly into the jawbone. Here they support the growth of new bone to firmly lock them in place. This process usually takes a few months, after which your replacement teeth are attached on top of your fully integrated dental implants. You are then all set to enjoy superior stability when it comes to your reconstructed teeth.

Why choose Dental Implants Hampshire?

Our friendly and highly trained team are dedicated to ensuring all of our patients can enjoy the long lasting benefits of dental implants in Hampshire. We understand that undergoing dental treatment can be an anxious experience for many, which is why we strive to create a calm and relaxing environment. We offer hypnosis and sedation to help you feel more at ease and are always here to listen to your concerns.

To find out if dental implants in Hampshire are the right fit for you, get in touch to arrange a consultation with one of our experienced dentists.

If you have lost one or more teeth due to a sporting injury, maybe they got knocked out playing rubgy or BMXing, then you could be looking at decades of wearing removable false teeth.

Maybe you were in your teens or 20s when you lost your teeth, and you already have experience of wearing a single false tooth or a bridge. Whatever your experience, you probably feel rather down at the prospect of a limited diet, discomfort and the hassle of cleaning false teeth. The good news is that in Hampshire, dental implants can take all the hassles of removable false teeth away in a few short months.

At Dental Implants Hampshire, it’s our business to take people through the implant journey with as little stress and pain as possible, and to leave them with a mouth that no one else would ever know contained artificial teeth.

Once we have made sure that your jaw is strong and dense enough to support implants, and if you are young, it most probably is, then you will have implants inserted into special channels that are drilled into your jawbone under local anaesthetic. This is unlikely to hurt because there are far fewer nerve endings in the bone than in teeth, but if you are anxious, we can do the surgery with sedation.

After the dental implants are in place, we cover them with temporary caps and for the next two to four months you go about your business while osseointegration takes place. Osseointegration is the scientific term for the rather amazing process whereby the titanium of the dental implants stimulates the bone tissue to grow and fuse with it, holding the implants in place just like natural teeth.

It will now be time for us at Hampshire Dental Implants to fit your artificial crowns. These will have been custom-made to blend in with your own teeth, both in terms of colour as well as size and shape. Depending on how many teeth you had knocked out you can either have a single crown, a few on a bridge, or, if you were really unlucky and lost all your teeth, we can even fit a full set of dentures to each jaw on only four implants.

When is a tooth not a tooth? When it’s a dental implant! In Hampshire, more and more people are discovering that artificial teeth no longer need to be something the whole world knows about.

This can be especially important if you did not lose your teeth to old age, but to an accident or injury. You may have been incredibly young when this happened, and struggling with removable false teeth ever since.

In Hampshire, dental implants replace the struggle with being once again able to behave as if all your teeth were your own. This can be a huge boon if your false teeth have let you down by obscuring the clarity of your speech, stopping you eating whatever you like, or, horror of horrors, having to explain to that hot date that kissing you will be a little different.

The reason that in Hampshire, dental implants can make such a huge difference to people’s lives is that, unlike traditional false teeth, implants become one with your jawbone. They are inserted in a minor surgical procedure into special channels that are drilled into your jaw. During the following two to four months, the titanium of the implants interacts with the bone tissue, which regrows and fuses with the rough surface of the implants, holding them in place just as if they were natural teeth. This process is known as osseointegration, and while it is taking place you can continue to wear your own false teeth, although you will have to stick to a restricted diet.

Once osseointegration has taken place, you can come back to Dental Implants Hampshire and we will add an internal screw, called an abutment, to the implant. It is to this that we attach your new artificial crowns. These are specially made for you. The hard-wearing porcelain is colour-matched to your own teeth, and sized and shaped so that it will become indistinguishable from the teeth nature gave you.

If you take care of your new teeth from Dental Implants Hampshire, they should last you a lifetime. Implants have a less than 5% failure rate. All you have to do is clean and floss twice a day and go back to enjoying life as you did before that accident knocked your teeth out.

Making the decision to get dental implants in Hampshire can have a life changing impact. However, it is not a simple process and there are a number of factors that you will need to consider. At Dental Implants Hampshire, we want to make the process easier for you by supporting you at each stage. We offer everything you need to make an informed decision. This can include anything from transparent hygiene procedures to getting a look at the equipment we use.

Getting started

Doing your own research can give you the basics of what you need to know to make your first appointment. It’s worth having a list of the things you want to ask your dentist so you can be sure you cover everything.

At Dental Implants Hampshire, you will get a thorough examination of your mouth that may include x-rays. This will be used to check suitability and to make a plan for your implant procedure.

For many people, there are different ways that dental implants can be placed for optimum function and your dentist will decide which way will be best. Based on all this, you can get a detailed timetable of treatment so that you know what will happen and when. This will help you to plan your life accordingly as dental implant treatment does require some time to be set aside for healing.

The treatment and healing process

When you have dental implants fitted, it will typically be under local anaesthetic although occasionally there might be a requirement for a general anaesthetic. Either way, you will feel little or no pain as the dentist makes holes in your jawbone to insert the dental implants.

Afterwards, it is important that you take the time to heal. You will need bed rest for the first day. It is recommended that you do not exercise or do anything too strenuous for the first three to four days. After that, it depends on how you feel and your dentist’s recommendations based on how extensive your surgery was.

It is important to keep the area clean with gentle brushing and salt water cleanses. You will also be on a restricted diet that will become less limited as time goes by. At Dental Implants Hampshire, we will give you the most accurate estimates of time frames so that you can feel prepared for your dental implant journey.

Have you suffered from tooth loss? Are dentures just not working out for you? Dental implants in Hampshire could be the solution you’ve been waiting for. While dentures can fill the unsightly gaps left by tooth loss, they also can be uncomfortable and prone to slipping out of place. At Dental Implants Hampshire, we take advantage of the latest advances in dental technology to give you a clinically proven and long-lasting alternative to dentures. Dental implants can boost your confidence as well as your dental health.

Why dental implants trump traditional dentures

Missing teeth lead to a host of dental health complications, particularly around the site of tooth loss. Bone is prone to degenerating causing the gums to recede. This can make neighbouring teeth become unstable, causing them to tilt or topple out. A vicious cycle of tooth loss can then follow. Unlike dentures, dental implants can help prevent these dental health issues.

Dental implants are small titanium screws that, over several months, will fully integrate into your jawbone. This is possible because dental implants actually stimulate bone growth, resulting in a secure foundation for the attachment of replacement teeth.

Dental implants are successful in up to 98% of cases, making them a reliable alternative to dentures. You will regain the freedom to eat, chew, and laugh without the worry of your replacement teeth moving. Dental implants in Hampshire can revitalise your facial appearance and improve your quality of life.

What does the procedure involve?

Dental implants involve a minor surgical procedure and are therefore fitted under local anaesthetic. This makes your treatment pain-free. However if you are particularly nervous, we also offer sedation. Our goal is to ensure you are as relaxed and comfortable as possible.

After three to four months of healing, your custom made replacement teeth can be attached. Dental implants in Hampshire can be used to treat the loss of single, multiple, or even a mouthful of teeth. Only one implant is needed to hold several replacement teeth. So no matter how many teeth you have lost, our highly trained and friendly staff are here to help.

Hampshire is home to Dental Implants Hampshire, a practice where fitting dental implants brings a smile to our patients’ faces. Take advantage of modern dentistry and don’t let missing teeth ruin your smile any more.

Why it’s worth acting now

Tooth loss can have on-going effects on your dental health, long after the initial trauma. Tissue around the site of tooth loss becomes vulnerable to deterioration. Bone degeneration and gum recession are both common after tooth loss, even among denture wearers. This can alter your facial appearance, resulting in an aging effect. It can also trigger further tooth loss. Dental implants in Hampshire provide a clinically proven way to avoid these consequences.

What are they and what do they do?

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made of lightweight titanium. They are placed into your jawbone, where they encourage new bone to weave in and around them. This firmly secures them into your jaw and provides an ideal base to fit replacement teeth.

A single dental implant can secure several replacement teeth. This makes them ideal for treating the loss of multiple teeth, as well as a single tooth. Complete jaws of teeth can also be restored with dental implants in Hampshire.

What you can expect from the procedure

After a thorough examination of your teeth, gums, and mouth, your dental implant procedure will be precisely planned. Your implants will be fitted under local anaesthetic to ensure your treatment is pain-free. If you are especially anxious, sedation is also available. At Dental Implants Hampshire, we aim to make your treatment journey as comfortable as possible. You will have ample opportunity to have your questions and concerns addressed. In our capable hands, you will have the peace of mind of knowing that restoring your dental health is our utmost priority.
