If you’ve lost teeth, either from gum disease or an accident, having a gap in your smile can dent your confidence and prevent you from reaching you full potential….. in work or play.
Olive Dental Care, Exning, Newmarket are able to offer Dental Implants, a long term effective solution to missing teeth.
STEP 1
An initial consultation to check that you have a suitable density of bone and a healthy gum. Simple x-rays when needed are included in the consultation fee. Often, we may need to take panoramic x-ray to obtain a better view of the bones.
If your treatment is complex or you are undoing multi-implant placement, we may need to take full 3D imaging of your mouth.
STEP 2
We start to place the implant. A small gum flap is made and a precise hole drilled. The implant is inserted and the gum sealed. It’s all done under local anaesthetic and it’s entirely pain free.
The implant is left under the gum for six weeks so that healing can occur and the implant knits into your jaw bone and becomes a permanent part of your bone structure.
– If required it is often possible to fit a temporary bridge at this stage –
STEP 3
We attach the abutment. This will form the core of the new prosthetic tooth. The gum is opened up again and the abutment fits easily into the implant structure. Then the gum is left to heal around the protruding structure.
The implant and abutment then form the foundation for the crown that is placed over it. The crown will be custom made ceramic or porcelain so that it can be crafted to the perfect shape and colour to fit with the rest of your smile.
Whatever your demands, we have the know-how, experience and technology to provide you with the very best implant surgery available today.
