Missing teeth? We’ll guide you to the best solution – book your consultation

Feeling anxious about dental treatment is very common, especially when it comes to addressing missing teeth. But don’t worry – we’re here to help!

Our team understands dental anxiety and offers gentle dental sedation right here at our Walsall practice. Sedation can help you feel calm and relaxed throughout your treatment, so you can get the care you need without the stress.

If you’re missing one or more teeth, you could be a great candidate for dental implants! Key factors include a fully developed jaw, healthy gums, good oral hygiene, and stable overall health.

In some cases, implants may not be suitable – for example, for teenagers with growing jaws or those with unstable health conditions. Smokers or patients with low bone density may need extra preparation. Don’t worry – our team can guide you toward the best treatment for your smile.

The dental implant process typically takes between four to 12 months, depending on factors like the number of implants, healing time, and the type of restoration needed.

At your consultation, we'll provide an estimated timeline. The most important part of the process is healing, which can take three to nine months. During this time, the implant fuses with the bone, and it won't be fully functional until it's healed. Once healing is complete, we'll design your permanent restoration using a quick digital scan, and you'll return for your final implant crown or bridge.

Once your dental implants are in place, they’ll feel just like natural teeth, although they won’t have any sensation because they aren’t connected to your nervous system. You’ll be able to chew, speak clearly, and smile with confidence, just as you would with your natural teeth.

Dental implants can significantly improve your quality of life. They’ll allow you to eat a variety of nutritious foods, speak clearly, and smile confidently, all while preventing the loss of bone in your jaw. Once they have fused with your jawbone, they’ll stay securely in place for many years, offering a long-term solution to your smile.

No, they’re not the same. Dentures are removable false teeth that rest on the gums and natural teeth, while dental implants are titanium posts placed directly into the jawbone. Implants provide a stable foundation for restorations like crowns, bridges, or even dentures, offering a more permanent and secure solution.

Yes, if you already wear dentures, dental implants could be a great option for you. You can choose to have implants that secure your dentures or opt for implants that support a permanent bridge. To find out if you’re a good candidate, schedule a consultation with us at Allsopp Dental.
