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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Patients from Chorleywood, Northwood and throughout Hertfordshire are choosing to replace missing teeth with dental implants because:
Dental implants, dentures and dental bridges all have their advantages and disadvantages. Dental implants are often considered better than dentures and bridges because:
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.
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.
