Dental Implants

If you have lost a tooth or several teeth due to decay, an accident, or gum disease, dental implants can fill those gaps and restore a complete, functional smile.

How Do Dental Implants Work?

Dental implant restorations are comprised of an implant, which is placed into the jawbone; an abutment added to the top of the implant; and a crown, or other replacement fixture, fitted to the abutment. As dental implants not only replace the missing tooth but also the missing root, they are a great deal more effective and longer-lasting than bridges or denture treatments.

How Long Does It Take To Receive Dental Implants in Corby?

As dental implants require some drilling, a healing period is necessary before the abutment and restoration can be fitted to the implant. The usual healing time is between 3 and 6 months, allowing the implant and jawbone to fully fuse into a strong, stable base that can last a lifetime.

What If I Have Low or Decreased Bone Density?

We provide bone grafting treatments at our Corby clinic for patients with low bone density, helping to strengthen the jawbone in preparation for dental implants. While this treatment may not be suitable for everyone, if dental implants are not an option for you, we can recommend a range of other effective restorative solutions.

Can Only Single Teeth Be Replaced?

Dental implants can be used to replace an entire set of teeth if it is the case that you have suffered complete tooth loss. In the case of complete restorations, between 4 and 6 implants will be strategically placed in your jawbone to support dentures or bridges and restore your smile.

How Safe Are Dental Implants in Corby?

Dental implants in Corby have a 95% success rate and are among the most effective treatments for replacing missing teeth. They also sustain your oral health and prevent tooth movement and bone loss, which can occur if gaps are left unclosed. At Natural Smiles, we use Ankylos dental implants, which are designed for greater stability and fusion and have been used for over 20 years to replace missing teeth.
