for those missing up to a whole arch of teeth. We can also offer full mouth rehabilitation for patients presenting with multiple missing teeth and other complex issues.
Our treatments include sedation during all dental implant treatments, so you know you’ll be calm, comfortable, and pain-free throughout. By providing everything from consultation to application and follow-up appointments under one roof, North Down Implant and Orthodontic Clinic makes the dental implant journey simple and streamlined. Our highly trained team will be able to answer any questions or concerns you might have, while our calming, relaxing practice will help you feel confident and at ease whenever you visit us here.
Benefits of Dental Implants
- Safe and Secure – implants are set in place and won’t move or come loose over time or when you’re eating.
- Natural-looking – dental implants mimic the shade, shape, and size of your natural teeth or can be chosen to enhance your smile, leaving behind a better-than-natural-looking finish.
- Eat and Speak Freely – crunchy and chewy food can be eaten easily, and you won’t have any trouble speaking clearly. Better yet, you’ll be able to fully taste and appreciate your food, unlike with dentures, which can sometimes obscure the palate and affect taste.
- Support and Enhance the Face – dental implants help support the structure of the face by treating and preventing bone loss in the jaw, leaving you looking more like yourself.
- Improve Overall Oral Health – replacing your missing or damaged teeth with dental implants can help improve and maintain your overall oral health, leaving you healthier and happier for longer.
- Easy to Take Care of – implants can be taken care of just as your natural teeth are, with twice daily brushing, flossing, and regular dental check-ups. There’s no need for special solutions or dental adhesives here!
Your Dental Implant Treatment Journey
1. Consultation
You’ll have an in-depth consultation with a member of our professional dental implant team, during which we’ll carry out a full exam and assessment of your mouth to make sure you’re a good candidate for dental implants. We’ll talk through all your options and offer an outline of the treatment journey time and estimated costs involved. You’ll have the opportunity to ask any questions you may have, and we’ll be able to get to know you as a patient.
2. Plan
We’ll use a range of innovative digital scans to fully assess your mouth and plan the most accurate and precise placement or placements for your dental implants. This allows for a much more comfortable treatment and precisely predicted outcomes for the patient. At this time, we’ll also carry out any preparatory treatment that might be necessary – this could include a tooth extraction, for example, or, in some cases, a bone graft.
3. Fitting
During your fitting, we’ll ensure you’re comfortable and pain-free with local anaesthetic and sedation. Our highly skilled implantologist will place the titanium metal screws in the desired position and then apply a temporary tooth or teeth as necessary. This treatment will take 3-6 months to fully heal, at which point we can place your personal prosthetic.
