Dental Implants at Station Road Dental Practice
Missing teeth can affect more than just your smile; they can impact your confidence, comfort, and daily life. At Station Road Dental Practice in Loughton, we offer dental implants as a long-lasting, reliable solution to replace one or more missing teeth.
Unlike traditional options like dentures or bridges, dental implants restore both the visible tooth and its root.
This provides a strong, secure foundation that looks and feels natural. With implants, you can eat your favourite foods, speak clearly, and smile confidently, without the worry of movement or discomfort.
What is a Dental Implant?
A dental implant is a small titanium post that is secured into the patient’s jawbone to replace the missing root of a tooth. The procedure to fit an implant is performed under local anaesthetic, so patients will not experience any pain. It involves using a dental drill to place the implant and then stitching the gum back over the implant area. Once this has been done the implant will be left to integrate with the bone.
When the gums and the bone are healed, your new restoration can be fitted, with a number of options available:
- Crowns: for the replacement of single missing teeth.
- Bridges: when several teeth need replacing.
- Dentures: when a full arch of teeth needs replacing.
We would love to hear from you
How Long Does the Dental Implant Treatment Take?
The treatment to fit the implant itself doesn’t take too long, but afterward, you must allow the implant and bone to fuse together. This is to ensure that you have a strong foundation for your new dental restoration. This process usually takes between 3-6 months, and to aid the healing process it is recommended that you maintain a good oral hygiene routine. Eating healthily and staying clear of smoking is vital.
Once your bone has fully fused with the implant an abutment will be fitted, which will then be used to attach a crown, denture or bridge.
