Dental implants available in Beflast answer to a number of attractive advantages that most patients seek in their missing teeth replacement devices: aesthetic value, reliable long-term results, comfort, durability, fuss-free maintenance and affordability.

We are quite happy to list the numerous ways this treatment option benefits patients, but as part of an ethical dental care service, it is also important to us to point out that not every patient may be suitable to receive dental implants as certain oral health conditions need to be met.

One of the things that delights us most is when patients ask probing questions about the dental treatment they are interested in receiving. Questions from patients illustrate their interest in their dental health and their desire for the very best treatments the dental industry has to offer. Here are some commonly-asked questions we thought you might like to include the next time you visit us for a consultation on implant dentistry.

Key questions to ask an implant dentist about dental implants might include the following.

Why are artificial tooth replacement implants so highly recommended by dental practitioners?

Once patients understand the structure of a dental implant and how it works, they quickly see the advantages of the system and why it delivers the highly sought-after benefits.

Simply put, dental implants most closely replicate the structure of a natural tooth, consisting of two important parts: a root that serves as a solid anchor below the gum line and a crown that enables chewing and biting.

Can the body reject an artificial tooth implant?

Any London implant dentist will ensure that the chances of fusion (the process in which the metal root-like structure fuses into the jawbone) are favourable. This is achieved by ensuring that a patient meets all minimum criteria and that optimal healing occurs, thereby minimising the risk of the body rejecting the implant. Provided that patients follow all care advice from our clinic’s implant dentists, they can enjoy their dental implants for a very long time.

How many teeth can be replaced by dental implants?

One of the wonderful things about dental implants is their versatile use. Artificial tooth replacement implants can be used to replace a single missing tooth or a set of missing teeth – it all depends on the needs of the individual patient.

How long does the entire treatment procedure take?

Once again, this depends on each patient’s situation. There is typically a two-stage process: the implant procedure, which needs time to heal (usually 6 to 8 weeks), followed by the placement of the crown on top. Obviously, if a patient requires any necessary dental care before implantation, such as treating poor gum health, the treatment duration will be extended.
