# Implant Dentistry

**Replacing missing teeth is a worthwhile investment**

Generally, we are enjoying longer and healthier lives and remaining active well into retirement - which also means general and dental health is even more important as we get older. Tooth loss is sadly still common for many adults and can have a negative impact on eating properly, smiling confidently, and even your sense of wellbeing and overall health. People with missing teeth or loose and uncomfortable dentures will avoid certain foods, sticking to a bland and uninteresting diet which can lack essential nutrients.

**Enjoy a strong and stable smile**

Dental implants are a great solution for replacing missing natural teeth and have already helped thousands of people worldwide. Choosing dental implants can enable you to enjoy a strong and stable smile.

## A small change can make a huge difference

###### Dental implants are an investment in a long-term solution for your smile.

###### If implants are looked after well, they could last for many years or even for life.

###### Implants consist of titanium or zirconia posts which artificially replace your natural tooth root.

###### You’ll have a strong and stable replacement for natural missing teeth.

###### Implants utilize the most advanced technology, backed by years of clinical research.

###### You will be able to eat comfortably and smile confidently.

## What can I expect from dental implant treatment in Richmond?

A strong, healthy, and confident smile. Having dental implants can make a huge difference to the look and function of your smile.

## The Complete Implant Smile

Using the Digital Smile Design test drive we can show you how your teeth will look. Before we even place the implants. We also use 3-D technology to place all implants.

## The dental implant surgery process

The process of dental implant surgery is different for each patient but there are a number of common steps in each surgery.

#### 1. Initial consultation

We create a complete dental and medical history for our patients. This may include taking basic x-rays, using a CBCT scanner to create a 3D image of your mouth, and taking conventional impressions and digital impressions with an intra-oral scanner. There is also time in the consultation to discuss your dental concerns and take photos of your smile.

#### 2. Planning treatment

A bespoke treatment plan is created to meet your smile needs. There may be different treatment options to discuss, which will be explained fully by our experienced and skilled dentist. This may include 2D and 3D simulations.

#### 3. Undergoing treatment

Once we have agreed on a treatment plan, we will begin the dental implant process. Preparatory work, such as hygiene sessions or bone grafts, may be needed before implants can be placed. This will have all been discussed in the planning stage so you will know exactly what to expect.

#### 4. Healing time

Once the dental implant post has been placed, a healing process needs to occur in which the bone fuses around the implant making it firmly fixed in place. It varies from patient to patient but can take between eight and twelve weeks, during which time a temporary prosthesis will be fitted.

#### 5. Final treatment

Once the implant is healed, a final prosthetic crown or bridge is fixed to the implant. 

#### 6. Maintenance

Caring for your dental implants is an essential part of treatment - this involves keeping on top of your oral hygiene and maintenance with regular visits for checkups and hygiene appointments. 

## We collaborate with Oral Surgeons who will work with us for your initial consultation.

![An icon of an unhappy face changing to a happy one.](https://www.ironwooddental.com/hubfs/Phobias_or_Anxiety.png)

## Do you have dental phobias or anxiety?

Dental phobias and anxiety are extremely common, so it is really normal to feel nervous or anxious about the thought of dental implant treatment. We are experienced in working with patients with phobias and will always treat all patients with gentle, compassionate, and respectful dental care.

Dental implant treatments can sometimes be extremely complex, and patients may prefer dental sedation - enabling you to feel deeply relaxed and comfortable. You may be able to communicate with your dental team but will be unlikely to remember much if anything about your treatment. This is a widely used treatment option and is provided by skilled and experienced dental professionals.
