IMPLANTS / ALL-ON-4 IMPLANTS
Dental Implants
Dental implants are advanced, long-lasting solutions for replacing missing teeth. They consist of a titanium post that is surgically inserted into the jawbone, acting as a replacement root for a missing tooth. Once the implant integrates with the bone, a crown or bridge is placed on top to restore the appearance and function of a natural tooth.
With our skilled team of dentists in Cramlington, we ensure that you receive the best possible service in a relaxed and friendly environment. Our caring staff will guide you through the process, making sure you feel comfortable every step of the way.
Why Choose Dental Implants?
Choosing dental implants offers numerous benefits. They are durable and can last a lifetime with proper care. Implants mimic the appearance and function of your natural teeth, providing a comfortable and aesthetic solution. Furthermore, they help maintain the integrity of your jawbone, preventing bone loss often associated with missing teeth. Implants allow you to eat, speak, and smile confidently without the worry of dentures slipping or discomfort. Importantly, they do not impact neighbouring teeth, making them a standalone solution.
Benefits of Dental Implants
Dental implants offer enhanced aesthetics, looking and feeling like your natural teeth. They provide improved comfort and confidence, as you won't have to worry about shifting or discomfort that can occur with dentures. Although the initial cost may be higher than other tooth replacement options, the durability and low maintenance of implants make them a cost-effective choice in the long run.
Are You a Candidate for Dental Implants?
Most individuals in good overall health and with healthy gums are candidates for dental implants. However, those with insufficient jawbone may need a bone graft before the implant procedure. During your consultation, our experienced team at The Village Dentists will assess your suitability for this advanced treatment.
The Dental Implant Procedure
The dental implant procedure involves several key steps. First, we conduct a consultation and assessment to evaluate your oral health and determine if you are a suitable candidate for implants. This may include X-rays and scans to assess your jawbone structure. Next, the titanium post is surgically placed into the jawbone, where it will fuse with the bone over several months through a process called osseointegration. Finally, once the implant has integrated, an abutment is placed on top, and a custom crown or bridge is attached to restore the tooth's appearance and function.

Aftercare and Maintenance
To maintain the health of your dental implants, good oral hygiene is essential. Brush and floss regularly around the implant site to keep your gums and surrounding teeth healthy. Regular checkups at our practice will ensure that your implant and surrounding tissues are in good condition. It's also advisable to avoid biting down on hard foods or objects to protect your implant.
