Portmore Dental Implants

What are dental implants?

Whether you have missing teeth or have been given a denture in the past and struggle with the feeling of movement and the embarrassment that can come with that – dental implants can help. We offer two main types of dental implants here at Portmore Dental, ensuring that whatever your situation, we can provide a simple solution that can totally transform the look and feel of your smile.

Dental implants in Weybridge for missing teeth

This is perhaps one of the most common types of dental implants, as tooth loss impacts most of us at some point in our lives. Using implant technology, we’re able to completely restore your smile, whether it’s just one lost tooth or several, we can restore individual teeth, often without the need for additional support to be fitted.

It’s not uncommon for patients to put off seeking the help of a dentist because they’re embarrassed about how their teeth look or feel anxious about being in the dentist’s chair.

Our dental implants for missing teeth are designed to put these patients at ease, using revolutionary implant technology to completely restore a full smile, or to simply replace individual teeth, without the need for additional support to be fitted.

Implants for missing teeth consist of titanium and are fitted directly into the jawbone, ensuring that once healed, your new tooth feels just as natural and strong as your natural teeth. Once your jawbone has grown around the implant, and the area has healed – you’re then ready for your new replacement teeth.

The impact of a full mouth rehabilitation with All On 4 Same Day Teeth is difficult to grasp until the moment you walk out of the practice.

You will receive a lot of input from our treatment coordinators at the outset of this significant treatment path, who will liaise with your dentist to create a treatment plan you are comfortable with.

At every stage, you will be fully briefed so that you understand what comes next and any unnecessary anxiety can be completely avoided.

Dental implants for dentures

Dentures are a common solution for tooth loss, but for many patients, they can become ill-fitting and unreliable, leaving them feeling self-conscious and worried about their teeth slipping.

Our solution for this is simple and uses dental implants as a means of fixing the denture in place, completely removing the risk of them slipping over the course of the day. This is often a great solution if you have minimal jawbone, or like to wear your dentures, but want that extra peace of mind that they won’t adjust themselves unexpectedly.

This is a popular option for patients who have minimal jawbone for implants, or just want additional support for their dentures.

We aim to improve quality of life for all of our patients, no matter how they come to us and what their concerns are.

Dental Implants Frequently Asked Questions

Accordion Sample DescriptionMany people are surprised to find out that dental implants don’t usually hurt. Before we get to work, we’ll use a local anaesthetic to numb the area, so you shouldn’t feel any pain, but you may instead feel a slight pressure. Minor discomfort after a dental implant procedure is totally normal, but don’t worry – it's nothing that a couple of paracetamol or ibuprofen can’t fix! If you experience severe pain post-procedure, seek immediate medical attention and arrange a follow-up appointment with your dentist. To book a consultation for dental implants in Surrey, or if you have any queries or concerns about the procedure, don’t hesitate to get in touch with our team.
Most people can get dental implants in Surrey, but there are a few exceptions. You won’t be able to get dental implants if you: Have gum disease Patients with any form of gum disease won’t be able to get dental implants. Gum disease destroys the gums and the bone beneath, and if you lose too much of that bone, there won’t be enough for dental implants to attach. We would recommend getting your gum disease treated before thinking about getting dental implants. Grit, grind, or clench your teeth Bruxism is the unconscious clenching, grinding, or gritting of the teeth – which is no issue for your natural teeth but presents serious threats to dental implants, and the pressure may lead to irreversible damage. Have a weak immune system A weak immune system significantly affects the healing process, making patients much more prone to infection and causing the recovery process to be more complicated. Some people will still be able to get dental implants with no problems, but it depends on the severity of your immunodeficiency. Similarly, patients with diabetes also suffer from slow wound recovery and are more susceptible to infections – so getting dental implants if you have diabetes isn’t a great idea. Have insufficient bone Patients with insufficient bone density and quantity won’t be able to get dental implants, as the implants can't attach to too weak, insufficient bone. Your dentist will use dental X-rays and CT scans to determine whether you’re suitable for treatment, and a bone graft surgery may be carried out if necessary.
Absolutely! Dental anxiety is more common than you might think, and we understand that coming to the dentist for a procedure like dental implants can be incredibly daunting – especially for already nervous patients. But here at Portmore Dental, we make the process of getting dental implants in Surrey as comfortable as possible. Sometimes, all it takes is a simple one-to-one chat – about the procedure and what’s involved – but for those experiencing severe dental anxiety, special intervention may be needed. In this case, dental sedation is the obvious choice. You’ll still be awake and able to follow our commands, but you’ll be relaxed and comfortable, and won’t be able to feel any discomfort associated with the dental implant surgery. To find out more about how we work with nervous patients, or to enquire about dental sedation, give us a call on 01932 967 589 or email our reception team at [email protected] and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible!
To have a positive experience when getting dental implants, there are a few things you should do beforehand to prepare yourself. The most important is to take yourself for an oral health check. During your check-up, your dentists will examine the condition of your teeth and gums, which will determine whether you have any issues that need treating first – like gum disease or insufficient bone density, for example. You should also stop smoking and drinking and incorporate some light exercise into your routine. This will all increase the blood flow in your body and help it to fight off any infections effectively. Smoking and drinking alcohol can also cause dry mouth – which can lead to a build-up of harmful bacteria and, eventually, gum disease, which is why quitting in the months leading up to your surgery is so important. You should also make sure to book some time off work for recovery, if necessary, and prepare some recovery-friendly recipes, as you’ll need to adjust your diet for the first few months after surgery. For more advice or to book a consultation for dental implants in Surrey, be sure to get in touch with our friendly team of experts!
Although dental implants are a big investment, they can actually last for many years, making them a good investment for those suffering from tooth loss. If well taken care of, dental implants can last up to 25 years or more, and regular brushing, flossing and keeping up with routine appointments can help to expand the lifespan of your dental implants in Surrey. Things you can do to keep your dental implants looking as good as new for years to come, include: Seeing a dentist at least every 6 months Attending dental hygiene appointments Brushing and flossing daily Avoiding food and drink that can stain your teeth Your dentist will be able to support you in looking after your new dental implants.
It may sound like dental implants would take a lot of looking after, but the truth is that dental implants in Surrey are pretty low maintenance. In fact, looking after your implants should be no different from looking after your own teeth, and regular brushing, flossing and routine check-ups should be all it takes to get the most out of your dental implants.
Having missing teeth can affect how varied your diet is and restrict the things you can eat. Many solutions for tooth loss can help with this but having a fixed solution such as dental implants fitted can help to give you the structure and stability you need to enjoy a wider, more varied diet. You may be restricted with what you can eat whilst your gums heal, but once you have healed completely and have your permanent implants in situ, you can eat and drink whatever you like without issue.
