Dental Implants Warrington

Most people who have one or missing teeth can have dental implants. As dentists, we also see many patients who are looking to move away from dentures or bridges and onto something that better resembles the look and feel of natural teeth. 

During your consultation we’ll be able to determine your eligibility based on the anatomy of your teeth and your overall health. We’ll also be able to tell you more about the type of implants you could have based on your specific circumstances.

If we are able to approve your dental implants, you will need to have an excellent dental hygiene routine which you will need to retain following your treatment. Alongside regular brushing, flossing and mouthwash, this will also require you to attend frequent visits with a dental hygienist. 

In some cases, dental implants may not be possible. For instance, if you have bruxism, gum disease, diabetes or a weak immune system. You may also lack sufficient bone which the implants would require to work. 

If you aren’t suitable for dental implants, don’t worry. At our Warrington dental practice, we perform a wide range of dental treatments which can address tooth loss which we can tell you about during your consultation. 

Just like natural teeth, dental implants require care to prevent issues and also maintain their appearance. 

It’s important to brush twice daily using a non-abrasive toothpaste. Regular toothpaste is designed to remove plaque and stains, although for dental implants this can damage the implants. Therefore, you will need to switch to a toothpaste that is specifically intended for dental implants. 

As part of your dental routine, you also will need to floss twice daily and use mouthwash. Follow up with regular dental hygienist visits. 

After your procedure, we will also give you a list of foods and drinks to avoid. 

The best way to describe dental implants is that they are a way of replacing a missing tooth from the roots. So instead of being purely cosmetic or only giving you limited ability to chew like a denture, a dental implant offers the best technology available to restore the missing natural tooth.

How dental implants work is that a titanium screw is fitted into the jaw, which will eventually hold the replacement tooth or bridge in place. 

Although same day dental implants are sometimes possible, the process typically happens over several appointments. 

First, we’ll determine your suitability for implants and take scans of your teeth. If we decide to move ahead, the implants will be installed first which involves implanting the screw into the jaw.

You’ll be given a few weeks to heal, and during this time we’ll take impressions to make the next stage of the process easier and more effective to complete.

The visible portion of your implant (i.e. the crown) will then be fitted at a subsequent appointment.

During all of your Warrington appointments, we will ensure your comfort throughout. We’ll also arrange a follow-up to ensure your implants are successful and that you are happy with the finished result. 

Dental implants at our Warrington practice start at £2,500.  

We can offer a range of options depending on the type of dental implants that would be suitable, along with the number of implants you are looking to have done. 

If you require any other treatments to prepare your teeth for implants, then additional fees will apply.

During your free consultation, we can provide a more tailored quotation specific to you as a patient.
