The path to replacing your missing teeth and enjoying new-found confidence in your smile is a smooth one at New Life Teeth. Throughout your dental implant treatment you will be in the experienced and very capable hands of our highly-skilled team.
The first task is to confirm your suitability for dental implants and discuss your smile goals with our implant surgeon. During your free initial consultation we will assess your mouth, gums and bone structure, taking an X-ray of the area where the tooth (or teeth) is missing. You’ll also have a CBCT bone density scan so that we can accurately evaluate the area where the dental implants are needed.
With the results of the X-rays and scans, plus the notes from our discussion, we will present you with your personalised treatment plan. Your dentist will explain their recommendations fully and detail the dental implant process, costs, and finance options.
Using high-tech virtual guides for the greatest accuracy, your dentist will plan the placement of your implants. Planning with the help of computerised imaging ensures that the dental implant can be placed in exactly the right position in the bone.
Don’t worry if you’re nervous at this point; New Life teeth implants are placed under a local anaesthetic and IV Sedation, most of our patients report they have no memory of the surgery.
Once implanted, it’s important to give the bone and gum around the implant time to heal. This process usually takes around three to six months, after which time the implant becomes one with the bone around it. We use a lightweight temporary set of teeth while healing.
Once your implant is integrated with the bone, your dentist is able to restore it with your final Zirconia teeth.
