How Do Dental Implants Work?
A small, biocompatible titanium post is precisely placed into your jawbone. This post acts as a new tooth root, providing a strong and stable foundation for a replacement tooth. Over several weeks, the implant naturally integrates with your bone, forming a strong bond. Once this integration is complete, a custom-made artificial tooth, meticulously crafted to match the ideal colour, shape, and size of your natural teeth, is securely attached. Dental implants can also effectively support fixed bridges or stabilise uncomfortable dentures.

FAQ’s
Dental implants are essentially artificial tooth roots, typically made from biocompatible materials like titanium. They’re surgically placed into your jawbone, where they fuse with the bone over time in a process called osseointegration. Once securely integrated, they provide a strong, stable foundation for a replacement tooth, bridge, or even a full set of dentures. This means they act just like a natural tooth root, offering unparalleled stability, comfort, and longevity for your new teeth.
Most adults who are in good general and oral health are excellent candidates for dental implants. The main requirements are healthy gums and sufficient bone in your jaw to support the implant. Even if you’ve experienced some bone loss, advanced techniques like bone grafting can often be used to create the necessary support. During your initial consultation at Dental Spa Putney, we’ll carry out a thorough examination, including X-rays or 3D scans, to assess your suitability and discuss all your options.
Dental implants offer numerous benefits that often make them the preferred choice for replacing missing teeth. Unlike dentures, they’re fixed in place and won’t slip or click, allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with complete confidence. They also help to preserve your jawbone, preventing the bone loss that often occurs after tooth extraction, which can maintain your facial structure. With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime, making them a durable and cost-effective long-term solution compared to bridges or dentures that may need regular replacement.
The journey to new teeth with dental implants typically involves several stages, all carefully managed here at Dental Spa Putney. After your initial consultation and treatment planning, the first step is the surgical placement of the implant into your jawbone. There’s then a healing period, usually a few months, during which the implant integrates with the bone. Once stable, we’ll attach an abutment (a connector) and then your custom-made crown, bridge, or denture. The overall timeframe can vary depending on individual healing and whether any preparatory procedures like bone grafting are needed, but we’ll provide a clear timeline tailored to you from the outset.
