Restore Your Smile with Dental Implants at Barrington Dental Care

At Barrington Dental Care, we understand that losing a tooth or several teeth can have a significant impact on your confidence and daily life. Whether it’s due to injury, decay, or age-related changes, missing teeth can affect how you eat, speak, and smile. Fortunately, dental implants offer a stable, natural-looking solution that can restore both function and aesthetics. Here’s everything you need to know about dental implants and how they can improve your smile.

What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are small titanium screws that are surgically inserted into the jawbone to replace the root of a missing tooth. Unlike dentures, which sit on top of the gums, implants are anchored directly into the bone, providing a stable foundation for a crown, bridge, or even dentures. Over time, the titanium post integrates with the bone in a process called osseointegration, ensuring the implant is secure and permanent.

Implants are widely considered the gold standard for tooth replacement due to their durability, natural appearance, and ability to preserve the health of your jawbone. Whether you need a single tooth replacement or a full set of teeth, dental implants offer a customised, reliable solution.

Why Choose Dental Implants?

Dental implants offer numerous advantages over traditional dentures or bridges. One of the most significant benefits is their ability to provide a natural-looking and feeling result. The implant itself mimics the root of a natural tooth, ensuring a seamless appearance that looks and functions like your own teeth.

Additionally, dental implants help to preserve the structure of your jawbone. When a tooth is missing, the bone in that area can begin to shrink or deteriorate. This process is called bone resorption, and it can lead to an aged appearance. By placing an implant, the jawbone is stimulated, preventing further bone loss and helping to maintain the natural shape of your face.

Implants also offer improved functionality compared to other options. They provide a secure, fixed solution that allows you to eat and speak comfortably, without worrying about slippage or discomfort. If you’ve struggled with loose dentures, implants can provide the stability and comfort you need.

The Dental Implant Process at Barrington Dental Care

At Barrington Dental Care, we prioritise your comfort and safety throughout the entire dental implant process. Our experienced team will guide you step-by-step to ensure the best possible outcome.

Initial Consultation and Assessment

The first step is a comprehensive assessment to determine if dental implants are the right choice for you. During this consultation, we will evaluate your oral health, discuss your goals, and take advanced imaging, such as CBCT scans, to assess the condition of your jawbone. If necessary, we will discuss any preparatory treatments, such as bone grafting, to ensure that your jaw is ready for an implant.

Implant Placement

Once we’ve developed a personalised treatment plan, the titanium implant will be placed into your jawbone in a minor surgical procedure. The implant is carefully positioned to ensure optimal function and appearance. After placement, we allow time for the implant to integrate with the bone, a process that typically takes 8 to 12 weeks.

Restoration

Once the implant has fully integrated with the bone, we will attach an abutment to the implant, which serves as a connector for the final restoration. Depending on your needs, a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture will be placed on top, completing the restoration and providing you with a fully functional and aesthetically pleasing smile.
