A large part of the success of dental implants depends on the dental implant technology Marylebone used as well as the skill of the implant dentist. At our dental practice, Dr David Madruga, our highly-experienced dental practitioner will use advanced dental implant technology Marylebone to ensure that you can achieve your dream smile goals.

Dental implants have become the world’s go-to treatment option to replace missing teeth. The treatment option’s ability to effectively treat other dental imperfections that detract from a great-looking smile is another reason why many patients opt for implants to improve their confidence to smile a winning smile.

Why are dental implants so effective?

Dental implant technology Marylebone is formed around a system that mirrors the look, structure and function of real teeth. Just like natural teeth, dental implants also consist of the root (in this case, it is a metal root surgically implanted into the jawbone) below the gum line and the dental crown that sits on top to provide masticatory function. It is these two components that work together that allow for stable and improved biting and chewing capabilities as well as a more attractive dental appearance.

Another equally important plus point of dental implant technology that deserves a mention is the benefit to jawbone and overall dental health. This is the only dental restoration solution that works to maintain jawbone quality. The metal root does not just deliver stability for biting and chewing, it also supplies the jawbone with the stimulation (in the same way natural teeth do) it needs to keep on growing.

The dental implant process

It is helpful for anyone wanting dental implants to know what to expect from the process. At our dental practice, we advise patients to schedule a consultation appointment to ascertain patient suitability.

Due to the surgical nature of implantation, we need to establish the condition of the patient’s gum and jawbone health. We use digital scans and dental x-rays to help us determine the health of teeth, gums and jawbone. Without the assurance of good oral health, the complete success of the treatment plan is in jeopardy.

If there are concerns about dental health, i.e. there are signs of gum problems or jawbone density is insufficient, we can discuss suitable treatment options with you. Bone grafts are a typical solution to improve jawbone quality and there are a myriad of ways to rehabilitate gums to good health.

If there are no oral health issues to address first, receiving dental implants is a pretty straightforward process. Before implantation, the implant dentist will administer anaesthetic before inserting a titanium screw-like rod into the jawbone. A healing period follows to allow the metal root to naturally fuse to the jawbone. Once this process is complete, the patient will have a dental crown placed on top for functional and aesthetic value.

Maintenance is the most important consideration to ensure the continued longevity of dental implants. Daily oral care at home to the highest standards is non-negotiable as the biggest threat to dental implants falling out remains dental diseases.
