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:

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.
  • Improved Functionality: Restore full chewing ability for a varied diet.

 

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.

Dental Implant Frequently Asked Questions

Are dental implants painful?

The procedure is carried out under local anaesthesia, ensuring it is virtually pain-free. Some mild discomfort may occur during the healing phase, which can be managed with over-the-counter pain relief.

Can I eat normally with dentures?

Yes! While it may take some time to adjust, dentures allow you to enjoy a wide variety of foods. Implant-stabilised dentures provide even greater stability for eating.

How long do dental implants last?

With proper care and regular check-ups, dental implants can last 15–25 years or longer.

Am I a candidate for dental implants?

Most patients with healthy gums and sufficient bone density are suitable candidates for dental implants. If bone loss is an issue, our team can provide bone grafting procedures to prepare the jaw for implants.

What can I eat after getting dental implants?

After getting dental implants at Barrington Dental Care, it’s important to follow a soft-food diet to aid healing and prevent complications. In the first 24-48 hours, stick to liquids and very soft foods like smoothies, yoghurt, apple sauce, mashed potatoes, and broths. As your healing progresses, you can gradually introduce foods like scrambled eggs, pasta, soft fruits, and steamed vegetables. Avoid hard, crunchy, or sticky foods that could put pressure on the implant site. Our team at Barrington Dental Care will provide personalised post-procedure care instructions to ensure a smooth recovery. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us.

How long does it take to get dental implants?

The timeline for getting dental implants varies depending on individual factors, but at Barrington Dental Care, we ensure a precise and efficient process tailored to your needs. Typically, the procedure can take several months, as it involves multiple stages.
First, we conduct a thorough consultation to assess your oral health and create a personalised treatment plan. If necessary, preliminary procedures like bone grafting may be required, which can extend the timeline. The implant placement itself is a straightforward procedure, usually taking about an hour per implant. After placement, a healing period of three to six months is needed for the implant to integrate with the jawbone. Once healed, we attach the custom-made crown, completing your restored smile.
For those searching for dentists in Altrincham, Cheshire, Barrington Dental Care provides professional services to ensure you receive the best care. Whether you’re seeking dental implants in Cheshire or other restorative procedures, we are here to help you achieve a healthier smile.

What is the difference between dental implants and dentures?

Both dental implants and dentures effectively replace missing teeth, but they differ in structure, permanence, and function.
Dental implants are surgically placed into the jawbone, offering a permanent and stable solution that closely mimics natural teeth. They help prevent bone loss and provide superior comfort and function, making them a long-term investment in your oral health. If you’re looking for dental implants in Cheshire, our experienced team can guide you through the process.
Dentures, on the other hand, are removable prosthetics that rest on the gums. While they restore the appearance of your smile, they may shift over time and require adjustments for a secure fit.
At Barrington Dental Care, our professional dentists in Altrincham, Cheshire, offer personalised consultations to help you determine whether dental implants or dentures are the most suitable option for your smile, comfort, and lifestyle.
