Dental implants: restoring smiles with precision

What are dental implants?

Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to replace missing tooth roots. Once integrated, they serve as a stable foundation for crowns, bridges or dentures, closely mimicking the appearance and function of natural teeth.

Why choose dental implants?

• Natural Appearance: Implants are designed to look and feel like your own teeth.
• Durability: With proper care, implants can last many years, often a lifetime.
• Bone Preservation: They help maintain jawbone integrity, preventing bone loss that can occur with missing teeth.
• Improved Functionality: Enjoy eating, speaking, and smiling without the discomfort or inconvenience of removable dentures.

The implant process at Church Road Dental

1. Initial Consultation: Assessing your oral health and discussing your goals.
2. Treatment Planning: Customised plan tailored to your needs, including any necessary preparatory procedures.
3. Implant Placement: Surgical insertion of the titanium post into the jawbone.
4. Healing Period: Allowing time for the implant to integrate with the bone (osseointegration).
5. Restoration: Attaching the custom-made crown, bridge or denture to the implant.

Are you a candidate?

Most adults with good oral and overall health are suitable candidates for dental implants. Factors such as sufficient bone density and healthy gums are essential for successful implantation. Our Teddington dental team will conduct a thorough evaluation to determine the best approach for you.

Aftercare and maintenance

Maintaining good oral hygiene is crucial for the longevity of your implants. Regular brushing, flossing and check-ups at Church Road Dental Care Centre will help ensure the success of your implant and the health of your surrounding teeth and gums.
