Dental Implants Essex
A dental implant is made of titanium, one of the few metals to be accepted readily by the body and to possess osseointegration properties. This means that bone grows around, and attaches itself to, the metal.
The dental implant Essex, which acts as an artificial root, is carefully placed in your jaw, after which the process of osseointegration begins. In this way, the implant becomes part of your mouth, secured firmly within the bone of your jaw. A crown or other dental appliance is then specially designed and manufactured to match the neighbouring teeth, then attached to the implant. The result is a tooth which is so securely anchored within your jaw that it looks, feels and behaves exactly the same as does a natural tooth.

Dental Implants Essex Explained
If you wear a full or partial denture or are simply missing a single tooth, opting for dental implants Essex could help permanently restore your smile. Put simply, a dental implant replaces the root of your missing tooth, allowing a fixed replacement tooth to be attached to it. The replacement tooth will look and feel totally authentic.
Freedom To Smile With Dental Implants Essex
Perhaps you, like many other people who suffer from tooth loss, feel that the condition has seriously affected your confidence and quality of life. Dental implants Essex can restore these, allowing you once again to smile freely, enjoy those difficult-to-eat foods and avoid the drudgery of dentures.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are dental implants painful?
Whilst dental implants will look and feel natural once they are in situ and the area has healed, the procedure itself is quite an invasive one. That’s why our team put your comfort at the heart of all we do, offering a range of options to help you feel relaxed and pain-free during all your appointments with us.
Our specialist sedation team, Philip, Sanjay and Sarita are experts in what they do and are confident supporting nervous and phobic patients. Together, we will ensure you feel no pain when receiving your dental implants.
Is it easy to maintain dental implants?
Yes, surprisingly so! Many of our patients worry about how easily it will be to keep their new smile looking great for the years to come, but the good news is that it is just as easy as looking after your own natural teeth.
Regular brushing, flossing and avoiding things like smoking and too much caffeine – as well as seeing your dentist regularly, will help to keep your new dental implants looking as good as the day you got them.
Am I restricted with what I can eat or drink?
Many of our patients tell us that eating was difficult before their implants, with many saying they avoided eating out and couldn’t enjoy a wide and varied diet. The good news is that with dental implants, you’re free to eat and drink whatever you like. It’s worth noting, of course, that drinking things like coffee and red wine which can stain teeth may impact the appearance of yours over time but enjoying these things in moderation is completely safe to do.
How long does it take to recover from the dental implant procedure?
Depending on the type of dental implants you opt for, the procedure can take several months to complete, and due to the invasive nature of it – it can take a while to fully recover. That being said, our team go out of our way to ensure you’re comfort during every stage of the process, including medications where necessary so you feel no pain during the recovery.
Typically, you can expect a full recovery to take anywhere between 4 and 6 months, but your dentist will be able to give you a clearer idea of timescales during your appointments.
