An implant is a precision engineered titanium screw which is permanently fixed into the mouth and used to support a crown, bridge or denture. The advantage of implants over traditional methods to replace missing teeth are that they are fixed securely and permanently, do not require removal at night nor do they involve any preparatory work to adjacent teeth. For dental implants in Coatbridge, please contact the team at Lagan Dental Care.
The good news is that most people are suitable for the placement of dental implants, however there are some requirements to ensure that the procedure has the best chance of success.
We will carry out a thorough consultation to check your suitability, including assessing the quality of your bone to ensure it is sufficient to support the implant.
The rate-determining step for the implant process is osseointegration, the bonding process with the jaw bone. This varies from person to person but typically takes 3 – 6 months.
Following fitting of the abutment and crown, you should soon be eating all types of food with confidence.
Are you struggling with a gap in your smile or perhaps you are fed up with loose and uncomfortable dentures? If so, then we invite you to call the implant team at Lagan Dental Care to see how we can help.
You are one step away from starting your implant journey to a new, confident smile!
