Discover the Benefits of Dental Implants

Your Path to a Confident Smile!

Restore Your Natural Smile

Dental implants are designed to seamlessly blend in with your existing teeth, giving you a natural-looking smile that enhances your facial aesthetics and boosts your self-esteem.

Improved Functionality

Unlike traditional dentures, dental implants provide a strong and stable foundation for biting and chewing. You can enjoy your favorite foods without worrying about discomfort or restrictions.

Preserve Jawbone Health

When you lose a tooth, the underlying jawbone can deteriorate over time. Dental implants stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss and maintaining the structure of your face.

Long-Term Solution

With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime, making them a cost-effective investment in your oral health and overall quality of life.


Maintaining Your Beautiful Smile

IMPLANT AFTERCARE

At Dentistry Markethill, we are committed to your long-term oral health and the longevity of your dental implants.

Following your implant procedure, proper aftercare is crucial to ensure optimal healing and maintain the integrity of your new smile. Here are some patient-focused aftercare tips to keep in mind:

Maintain Excellent Oral Hygiene:

Brush your teeth at least twice a day using a soft-bristle toothbrush. Be gentle around the implant area, ensuring that you clean thoroughly but without causing any discomfort. Use a mild, non-abrasive toothpaste and floss carefully to remove any plaque or debris.


Regular Dental Check-ups:

Schedule regular check-ups with our dental team, typically every six months. These visits allow us to monitor the health of your dental implants, assess your overall oral health, and provide professional cleanings to keep your smile shining.


Avoid Harmful Habits:

Protect your dental implants by avoiding habits that can put stress on them. Refrain from chewing on hard objects, such as ice or pens, as this can cause damage to your implants. If you participate in sports or physical activities, wear a mouthguard to protect your smile.


Maintain a Balanced Diet:

A healthy diet promotes overall oral health. Consume a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains. Limit sugary and acidic foods and beverages, as they can contribute to tooth decay and gum disease.


Quit Smoking:

Smoking can significantly compromise the success of dental implants. Tobacco products can lead to gum disease, slow down the healing process, and increase the risk of implant failure. If you smoke, consider quitting for the sake of your oral and overall health.


Report Any Concerns:

If you experience any discomfort, pain, or notice any changes around your dental implants, don't hesitate to contact our office. Promptly reporting any concerns allows us to address them promptly and prevent potential complications.

Remember, the success and longevity of your dental implants depend on your commitment to maintaining good oral hygiene and following these aftercare guidelines. Our dedicated team is here to support you every step of the way, ensuring your smile remains healthy, beautiful, and confident.

DO IMPLANTS HURT?

We perform implants using a local anaesthetic so our patient’s won’t feel any pain during the procedure. You may feel some minor discomfort for a few days after but this is normal and is usually caused by the stitches and the healing process.


HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO PLACE AN IMPLANT?

The surgery to place the titanium screw can take 2 - 3 hours but these are only guidelines and your circumstances may require less or more time. Once the screw is in place you will need to allow at least 3 months for it to fully bond (integrate) with the bone structure before we can continue the treatment.

Once your implant has fully integrated we will make an impression of your mouth and build your custom-made crown, which will take roughly two weeks. Finally, the fitting itself will take about an hour.


ARE IMPLANTS SAFE? HOW LONG WILL IT LAST?

A We can reassure you that implants are incredibly safe and can, in fact, last many years if you care for them properly. By looking after your implants and attending regular maintenance check-ups there’s every reason to believe they could last a lifetime.
