Missing teeth can impact not only your confidence but also your ability to eat, speak, and live comfortably.

At Longwood House Dental Care, we offer advanced dental implants in Ilford, designed to restore your smile with a natural look, unmatched durability, and renewed function.

Why Choose Dental Implants?

Dental implants are the most effective and long-lasting solution for missing teeth. Unlike traditional dentures or bridges, implants integrate directly with your jawbone, mimicking the structure of natural teeth. This not only enhances stability but also helps to prevent bone loss, something removable prosthetics cannot achieve.

Dental implants are ideal for:

  • Replacing one or more missing teeth
  • Providing support for dentures
  • Preventing jawbone deterioration and facial sagging
  • Improving chewing, speech, and overall oral function

Our 8 Steps Dental Implant Treatment Journey

First Appointment – Initial Consultation

  • Patient Assessment: A thorough examination of the patient’s oral health will be conducted, including dental X-rays, 3D imaging, and possibly CT scans to evaluate bone density and structure.
  • Medical History Review: Discussion of the patient’s medical history, including any underlying conditions or medications that may affect the implant procedure.
  • Treatment Planning: Development of a personalised treatment plan outlining the steps, timeline, and costs involved in the implant process. Using advanced imaging technology, the exact placement of the implants is planned. This includes selecting the appropriate type and size of the implant.

Second Appointment – Preparatory Procedures

  • Tooth Extraction (if necessary): If the damaged tooth is still in place, it will be extracted.
  • Bone Grafting (if necessary): If there is insufficient bone to support the implant, a bone graft may be performed to augment the bone structure. This may require additional healing time.
  • Implant Placement: The dental implant is surgically placed into the jawbone. This procedure is typically done under local anaesthesia, sedation, or general anaesthesia, depending on the patient’s needs.
  • Healing Cap Placement: A healing cap may be placed on the implant to protect it and shape the gum tissue as it heals.

Osseointegration (bone fussion)

  • Healing Period: The implant needs time to integrate with the jawbone through a process called osseointegration. This usually takes 3-6 months.
  • Monitoring: Regular check-up appointments will be scheduled to monitor the healing process and ensure the implant is properly integrating with the bone.

Abutment Placement

  • Minor Surgery: Once osseointegration is complete, a minor surgical procedure is performed to attach an abutment (a connector piece) to the implant. This part will hold the final crown.
  • Gum Healing: The gums are allowed to heal around the abutment, which typically takes a few weeks.

Impression Taking

  • Mold Creation:Impressions of the mouth are taken to create a custom crown that will fit perfectly with the abutment and surrounding teeth.
  • Color Matching:The shade of the crown is matched to the patient’s natural teeth for a seamless appearance.

Final Restoration

  • Crown Placement: The custom-made crown is attached to the abutment, completing the implant process.
  • Adjustment: Any necessary adjustments are made to ensure a comfortable and functional bite.

Follow-Up and Maintenance

  • Post-Procedure Check-Ups: Regular follow-up appointments to monitor the implant, ensure proper healing, and address any issues.
  • Oral Hygiene Instructions: Guidance on maintaining oral hygiene to ensure the longevity of the implant, including brushing, flossing, and possibly using special cleaning tools.

Long-Term Care

  • Routine Dental Visits: Regular dental check-ups and professional cleanings to maintain oral health and monitor the condition of the implant.

  • Lifestyle Adjustments: Advice on lifestyle habits to avoid (e.g., smoking, excessive alcohol) that may impact the implant’s success and longevity.

Not always. We’ll assess your jawbone density and health conditions during consultation. Bone grafting is available for those who lack bone volume.

Alternatives include dental bridges and full or partial dentures. However, these options don’t preserve jawbone or offer the same long-term benefits.
