Dental Implants

Dental implants replace missing teeth and ill fitting /loose dentures.

Missing teeth can greatly affect your confidence. You may feel embarrassed to smile or you may find that a missing tooth causes you pain when chewing.

Dental implants are the best solution to missing teeth. Patients from Rickmansworth, Chorleywood, Croxley Green, Northwood and throughout Hertfordshire are choosing to replace missing teeth with dental implants because:

  • They look and function close to real natural teeth
  • Dental implants remain fixed in your mouth, and you clean them just like your other teeth
  • Unlike dentures which are made from bulky acrylic and move around dental implants are the best fixed in your mouth solution.
  • Dental implants protect and preserve your bone and other teeth slowing down the aging process and preventing other teeth from breaking.

At inspire dental care the team have placed over 3000 dental implants. Our knowledgeable team have years of experience in dental implants and regularly attend courses so that they are kept up to date on advances in dental implant technology.

Before & After

Dental Implants

What is the process for

Dental Implants in Rickmansworth?

Your first step in the dental implant process begins with a free consultation where we look forward to talking to you more about the dental implant process.

Step One - Free Consultation

At your free consultation in Rickmansworth, we will begin by asking what you would like to change about your teeth. We will assess your teeth and gums and determine exactly where your missing teeth are in your mouth.

We will talk to you about your oral health and your general health too. This is vital to make sure that you are a good candidate for dental implants.

We will take a CBCT 3D scan of your jaw bones to assess your suitability for dental implants in order to be able to devise a bespoke implant treatment plan.

Step One - Free Consultation

Step Two – Treatment Plan

We will make recommendations about the type of dental implant work that is best for you. The plan will contain details of the treatment, process and cost.

0% for 24 months available for some implant cases but subject to T&C’s.

Step Two – Treatment plan

Step Three – Dental Implant Surgery

Your dental implant surgery will take place at Inspire Dental in Rickmansworth.

When you are ready and comfortable, we will give you a local anaesthetic which will make your mouth numb so that you do not feel anything.

If you are having an IMMEDIATE implant we will extract your failed tooth or root Atraumatically under Local Anaesthetic preserving as much bone as possible and then place your dental implant straightaway thus saving you 3-4 months. We will graft the area at the same time.

Step Three – Dental Implant Surgery

Step Four – Healing Process


Your mouth and gums may feel sore immediately after dental implant surgery, but this can be managed with paracetamol, and rest assured you will feel better in a day or two.

We wait for a period of between 3 and 6 months for the dental implant to integrate with your jawbone. This process is called osseointegration and is vital to ensure the success and longevity of your dental implants.

Step four – Healing process

Step Five – Fitting of your Bespoke Restoration

After the healing period of 3-6 months our laboratory will make a bespoke implant crown or bridge to fit your implants with precision and we will choose the best shade match that is possible, but an exact match is never possible but we do try to get the closest possible colour match.

What are

Dental implants?

They are medical grade titanium screws placed carefully into your jaw bone to replace single, multiple or a full jaw of broken or missing teeth.

Dental Implants in Rickmansworth

There are three components that make up your dental implant:

A Medical grade titanium screw (the dental implant ) which is gently placed into your jawbone and replaces your missing tooth root. Over time, this implant integrates with your jawbone and acts as an anchor to support your new tooth

An abutment which connects the dental implant to the third and final component- the laboratory precision made bespoke implant crown.

The dental crown forms your new tooth replacement. This is colour-matched to the other teeth in your mouth and emerges from your gum tissue.

Types of

Dental implant in Rickmansworth

Single dental implant

If you need to replace one missing tooth, whether at the front or back of your mouth, a single dental implant is the ideal solution. This is a simple, routine procedure designed to restore your smile effectively.

Bridge supported implant

For multiple missing teeth located together, a bridge-supported dental implant offers a reliable solution. Two implants are placed on either side of the gap, with a dental bridge filling the space, restoring function and aesthetics.

Same day teeth

Also known as Same Day Smile or Teeth in a Day, this option is perfect for those with very few teeth, no teeth, or multiple teeth in poor condition. Using 4 or 6 implants, it supports a complete set of upper or lower teeth, all restored in just one day.

Frequently Asked Questions About

Dental Implants

Are dental implants better than dentures or bridges?
6
7

Dental implants, dentures and dental bridges all have their advantages and disadvantages. Dental implants are often considered better than dentures and bridges because:

  • They are the most permanent option – once fitted, dental implants should last at least 15-20 years on average and with good care there’s no reason why they can’t last a lifetime
  • They look and function just like another natural tooth. Dental implants won’t slip and become uncomfortable like dentures and there’s no need for special cleaning instructions – you simply brush and floss as normal , or maintain as advised by your dentist or hygienist.
  • With dental implants you can enjoy the complete functionality of a normal tooth. You can eat most foods within reason, chew and eat with complete confidence without the worry of your dentures falling out or coming loose
  • A dental implant is independent of any of your other teeth. With a dental bridge, the neighbouring teeth to the gap must be prepared which involves shaving away some of the healthy enamel. Should any of your natural teeth get damaged in the future, this will affect the entire bridge restoration

Is dental implant surgery painful?

The pain experienced during dental implant surgery is mild to minimal. You will be given a local anaesthetic during the procedure so that you do not feel anything. After the treatment has finished, your mouth may be sore for up to 72 hours. This is completely manageable with paracetamol.
How long does it take to get dental implants?

This will depend upon the type of dental implants that you are having. Usually, a single dental implant is completed in less than an hour. Your gums will need to heal, and the dental implant needs to integrate with your jaw which can take from 3-6 months.
Depending on your bone loss or if your having an immediate implant then you will require a little bone grafting which is carried out at the same time as the tooth extraction and immediate implant placement in most cases thus saving you time and more invasive surgery. At inspire dental care in Rickmansworth, our lead implant surgeon Dr Mahesh Patel practices minimally invasive flapless surgery where possible which is mostly pain free implant placements which leads to quicker healing.
