Replace Missing Teeth with Natural-Looking Dental Implants

Dental implants are the gold standard for replacing missing teeth, offering a fixed, durable, and natural-looking solution. At Barrington Dental Care in Altrincham, we specialise in single, multiple, and full-arch dental implants, providing bespoke treatments tailored to your needs.

What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are small titanium screws surgically placed into the jawbone to replace the root of a missing tooth. They act as a stable foundation for crowns, bridges, or dentures, delivering a seamless, natural-looking smile.

The Implant Process:

1. Placement: A titanium implant is inserted into the jawbone.
2. Healing: The implant integrates with the surrounding bone over 8–12 weeks.
3. Abutment & Crown: An abutment is attached to the implant, and a custom-made crown is placed, matching the colour and shape of your natural teeth.

How Can Implants Be Used?

Dental implants are versatile and can support:

• Single Crowns: To replace one missing tooth.
• Bridges: To replace multiple missing teeth.
• Full Arch Restorations: For patients missing all teeth in the upper or lower jaw.
• Implant-Stabilised Dentures: Providing extra stability for removable dentures.

The Dental Implant Process

1. Comprehensive Assessment

   Before starting, we evaluate your overall oral health using advanced imaging tools, such as CBCT scans, to ensure suitability for implants.

2. Treatment Planning

   We visualise the final result before placing your implants, using precise surgical guides to achieve the best outcome.

3. Implant Placement

   A titanium implant is placed into the jawbone in a minor surgical procedure. For patients with insufficient bone density, bone grafting may be recommended.

4. Healing Period

   The implant is left to integrate with the surrounding bone over 8–12 weeks, creating a strong foundation.

5. Final Restoration

   Once the implant has healed, we attach the abutment and fit the custom-designed crown, bridge, or denture for a secure, natural-looking result.

Benefits of Dental Implants

• Natural Appearance: Implants look and feel like real teeth.
• Long-Lasting Solution: With proper care, dental implants can last for decades.
• Enhanced Confidence: Smile, eat, and speak without worry.
• Bone Preservation: Prevents bone loss in the jaw associated with missing teeth.

Why Barrington Dental Avoids “Same Day” Implants

While same-day implants can be successful for select patients, they often carry a higher risk of failure. At Barrington Dental Care, we prioritise the long-term success of your treatment by ensuring your mouth is healthy and using traditional protocols for the best results.
