Understanding Dental Implants
Dental implants are titanium posts surgically placed into the jawbone to replace missing tooth roots. Over time, they fuse with bone through osseointegration, forming a secure foundation for dental crowns, bridges or implant-retained dentures. Restorations are matched to surrounding teeth for colour, shape, chewing function, and a natural appearance.
Treatment starts with an assessment, including digital scans and X-rays to evaluate bone and plan implant position precisely. The implant is placed under local anaesthetic and left to integrate during healing. After an abutment and custom crown are fitted, regular reviews and excellent oral hygiene maintain long-term success.
The Right Candidate
You might be a suitable candidate for dental implants in Polegate, East Sussex, if any of the following apply:
- Missing one or more teeth: If you’ve lost teeth due to injury, decay, or gum disease, implants can replace them with secure, natural-looking restorations.
- Uncomfortable with dentures: If your removable dentures feel loose or unstable, dental implants provide a fixed, long-term alternative that improves comfort and confidence.
- Healthy gums and sufficient bone: Strong gum health and adequate jawbone density are essential for supporting the implant securely and ensuring lasting stability.
- Good oral and general health: Candidates should maintain excellent oral hygiene and be free from uncontrolled medical conditions that could affect healing and treatment success.
Why Choose Dental Implants?
Natural aesthetics
Custom crowns match your teeth in colour and shape, restoring a natural appearance that blends seamlessly with existing dentition.
Secure function
Implants anchor restorations firmly to the jaw, enabling normal eating, clear speech and reliable day-to-day oral function comfortably.
Bone preservation
Replacing tooth roots preserves jawbone volume and prevents the bone loss that often follows long-term tooth absence progression.
Lasting restoration
With good oral care and regular reviews, implants offer durable results that can last many years or even decades.
Comfort & stability
Fixed implants remove denture movement and irritation, giving comfortable, unobtrusive restorations that feel natural in the mouth daily.
Improved confidence
A complete, natural-looking smile often restores self-esteem, making social and professional interactions more comfortable and confident in everyday situations.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Take a look at the answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about this treatment.
Are dental implants painful?
The procedure is performed under local anaesthetic so you won’t feel pain during surgery. Mild discomfort and swelling are common afterwards; this is usually controlled with simple painkillers and settles within a few days.
How long does the implant process take?
From initial assessment to fitting the final crown, expect several months. Healing time allows the implant to integrate with bone; exact timing depends on individual healing and any preparatory work required.
How long do dental implants last?
Dental implants are designed to last decades, often a lifetime, with proper care. Maintaining good oral hygiene and attending regular dental check-ups helps ensure their long-term stability and function.
