Are Dental Implants Safe?

How Safe Are Dental Implants?

Are implants painful? | Procedures needed prior | Step by step process

Implant treatments successfully restore spaces left by missing teeth.

However, to keep the treatment as safe as possible, some important considerations must be made before it commences.

Advanced treatment planning will be essential to ensure the treatment is successful.

This includes using a CT Scanner to assess the bone, and 3D digital helps the clinician choose the best implant design possible.

Safety protocols for implants

Use of the best quality implants
Choosing the right design and type of implant system. This is not the place to cut costs. However, if you wish, we can make your treatment as cost-effective as possible. We need to take all the evaluation and diagnostic information into consideration before we do this.
Our clinicians are highly qualified and highly knowledgeable about the field of implants. We have placed thousands of surgical dental implants. Our dentists have vast experience in creating successful outcomes, so you can rest assured that you will be in safe hands.
Ensuring an aseptic surgery setup. Implants are a surgical procedure, and the clinical environment is ready to minimise postoperative infections.
We provide antibiotic cover beforehand to minimise the risk of infections.
We follow suitable practice protocols that have an excellent track record to keep treatment safe.
We use premium sutures. These are designed not to attract infection and allow proper healing to occur.
We must assess each case on how we propose to carry out the surgery, but we try not to do too much surgery in one go. This limits postoperative complications.
Attention to detail.

Dental implants can be an essential solution when correcting missing teeth problems.

Missing teeth have many consequences that are functional, structural and aesthetic. Dental implants are a popular choice with many benefits for replacing teeth and restoring your natural look.

“Thousands of people get dental implants each month in the UK.“

Pain free

At The Perfect Smile, we understand that patients may be naturally nervous when thinking of undergoing dental implant surgery.

We want to reassure you that the dental implant treatment is not painful due to the proper use of local anaesthetics to numb the bone and gum deeply.

We can also use sedation techniques that also contribute to no pain or discomfort. More.

Single Dental Implant Timeline

Step 1: We will start the process with a highly detailed and thorough comprehensive examination and assessment. We will then construct a customised treatment plan and design your implant treatment.
Step 2: Your new implant(s) will be surgically placed in your mouth.
Step 3: We will assess your healing on this review appointment and make sure everything is going as planned.
Step 4: Records and impressions will be taken to construct the implant’s top part (post and crown).
Step 5: The final part of the implant (post and crown) will be fitted.
Step 6: This appointment allows you to have any further refining cosmetic enhancements or minor adjustments.

Insufficient Bone

When a tooth is removed from the mouth, the surrounding bone that holds the tooth in place will diminish in height and width and volume. This may affect the immediate and final appearance of the gum tissue in this area and possibly the surrounding teeth.
The larger the width of bone or the height of the bone, the broader and longer implant can be. A broader and longer implant increases implant stability and thus success. We assess the bone height and width by taking digital radiographs or by taking a CT Scan. More.

Competitive Costs

Oral health benefits

When we implant a titanium implant into the jawbone, it becomes part of your oral foundation.

This offers a number of health benefits that include preventing any bone loss whilst supporting the jawbone structure and reduces the risk of gum disease. More.

Successful Dental Implants can last a lifetime.

“If treated correctly, dental implants can last from ten to twenty five years or more.”

Minimal pain

Is the process painful? You can expect to feel some pain when having a new implant. However, with modern anaesthetics, the discomfort is kept to a minimum. Post-process, there can be some swelling and aching for 5 -10 days.

Many patients have multiple implants in a single day without undue pain or distress. More.

Natural-looking

Will my implants match the colour of my existing teeth? Implants are colour matched and then shaped to blend in with your existing teeth. To the naked eye an implant is very hard to spot.
