Missing teeth can lead to a lack of confidence about your smile as well as the weakening of surrounding teeth and deterioration of bone structure resulting in the loss of facial contours and teeth.
Long gone are the days when our only option after tooth loss was to wear a denture or have a bridge made. These options are adequate and functional in most cases, however, we now have the technology to place a permanent fixture in the mouth which will feel and perform like a natural tooth.
Dentures can cause discomfort and embarrassment and bridges can be difficult to clean and cause damage to neighbouring teeth which is why many people are now choosing to have permanent implants.
With modern technology, dental implant crowns are indistinguishable from natural teeth and you will have the confidence to eat anything you like – no need to avoid those steaks, apples or crusty bread!
Dental Implants also have a 95% success rate after 10 years, making them one of the most predictable treatment options.
The Dental Implant timeline
STEP1 – FREE CONSULTATION with Implant Coordinator
You will have the opportunity to discuss the process using examples of previous cases. Photographic records of your current dentition will be made and you will be given estimated costs of treatment. You are under no obligation to continue with treatment after this consultation.
STEP2 – RECORDS APPOINTMENT
This appointment allows us to obtain more detailed records of your jaw, diagnostic impressions will be taken, as well as X-rays and in some cases a CT scan is required. We will follow this appointment up with a letter and comprehensive treatment plan.
STEP3 – PLACEMENT OF IMPLANT
This will normally be done under local anaesthetic; however, there is the option of IV sedation. The implant is placed in your jaw with a healing cap and left to heal for up to 12 weeks.
STEP4 – CROWN PREP & FIT
Impressions for the crown are taken once the implant has healed sufficiently. 2 weeks after the crown prep, we will book an appointment to fit the crown.
STEP5 – BEAUTIFUL TEETH WHICH LOOK AND FEEL LIKE YOUR OWNTestimonials from previous dental implant patients
“I am grateful to Fadi Barrak for the four Implants which have enabled me to eat normally again. At meal times there is nothing to remind me that I have Implants instead of my own teeth. Fadi’s knowledge, experience meticulous planning and extraordinary skill as a surgeon are, I believe, what has made the implants so successful”
Mr H
“I have had an extremely successful Implant carried out by Fadi, who again was very kind, understanding and reassuring, taking time to explain the procedure to me”
Mrs S
“Where one tooth was beyond repair I had an implant put into my upper jaw and after a couple of months a crown was put on with excellent results allowing me to smile again confidently”
Mrs M
“Fadi worked on my mouth with great expertise. 4 Implants were fitted including bone graft and mineral supplementation. The final result is very comfortable, good looking and well worth the wait! I am grateful to have had Dr Barrak’s experience when planning the work, which he explained very clearly and made me aware of all the options”
