What Are Titanium Dental Implants?

Titanium dental implants consist of a titanium post that serves as an artificial tooth root, surgically placed into your jawbone. Over time, the implant fuses with the bone in a process known as osseointegration, ensuring a strong and lasting bond. Once the implant is securely integrated, a custom-made crown is attached, resulting in a natural-looking and fully functional tooth replacement.

Are You a Candidate for Titanium Dental Implants?

Most adults with missing teeth and healthy oral tissues are potential candidates for titanium implants. However, certain factors may affect your eligibility, such as:

Bone Density: Sufficient bone mass is needed to support the implant. If bone loss has occurred, additional procedures like bone grafting may be necessary.
Oral Health: Good oral hygiene and overall health are crucial for successful implant placement.
Lifestyle Factors: Smoking and certain medical conditions can impact healing and the success of implants.

What Teeth Can I Replace with Dental Implants?

Titanium implants can replace a variety of missing teeth, including:

Single Teeth: One missing tooth can be replaced with a single implant and crown.
Multiple Teeth: Several missing teeth can be replaced with a bridge supported by implants.
Full Arch: For a full arch of missing teeth, implants can support a denture or bridge, providing stability and function.

Avoid smoking and limit sugary foods to promote oral health.
Report any discomfort or issues with your implants to your dental team promptly.

The Treatment Journey

Here’s what to expect as you embark on your journey to a healthier, more confident smile:

5: Precision Implant Placement with X-GUIDE Technology

During the procedure, we utilise X-GUIDE technology to digitally transfer the precise 3D position of the implant. This advanced guidance allows Dr. Puri to place the implant at the exact location, akin to how a spacecraft docks with a station using satellite navigation. This eliminates the need for guesswork or X-ray measurements during the procedure, ensuring a more streamlined experience and quicker, longer-lasting results for you.

Although a double appointment with the Hygienist is not my idea of fun, Rihanna and her Assistant were as usual very pleasant and took care to carry out the various procedures with care and ensure my comfort and provide good advice for future dental hygiene. Inverleith Dental practice can be recommended for care. .

I had a great experience at Inverleith Dentalcare. John McAleavey was very thorough during my check-up and used a camera system to create a 3D scan of my teeth, showing where plaque had built up, which was really helpful. Briana, the hygienist, did an excellent job, leaving my teeth feeling very clean. Overall, I was very pleased with the service and would recommend Inverleith Dentalcare, especially John and Briana.

I met with Dr John McAleavey as a new patient for a consultation about my complex dental health situation. I'm a nervous patient and was instantly at ease on entering the practice. John really listened to my background story and quickly spotted the source of my problems that had been missed by other dentists. My assessment was the most rigorous I've ever received, yet very gentle. John took the time to explain everything thoroughly and clearly. I left the practice with a sense of peace that I'd found the answers I'd been seeking, and confident I was in the hands of expert professionals. I'd recommend them to anyone.

I was anxious before my first appointment with Inverleith Dental - my dentist of 25 + years had retired and I needed a practice nearer home - but I should not have worried!The welcome from the receptionist was lovely - The initial conversation with the dentist was very helpful - I learned about the ethos of the practice and felt I was being listened to - in addition this chat took place before the mouth examination so I was not in the reclining position which can put the patient at a disadvantage!The receptionist was most helpful with my mobility problems on leavingThe beautiful Georgian building is a bonus

I found Inverleith Dentalcare as I needed emergency dental treatment. They were very accommodating and managed to allocate an appointment the next day. Their service is second to none with professional and caring staff, dentists take the time to explain the procedure to the patient, and use modern standard techniques, materials and treatments. Worth every recommendation.

Titanium Dental Implants FAQs

How long do titanium dental implants last?

With proper care and maintenance, titanium dental implants can last a lifetime. Many factors contribute to their longevity, including oral hygiene, regular dental check-ups, and lifestyle choices. Patients who maintain good dental health and avoid habits like smoking or excessive alcohol consumption often enjoy the benefits of their implants for many years.

Is the procedure for getting titanium implants painful?

Most patients experience minimal discomfort during the titanium implant procedure. Local anesthesia is used to numb the area, and sedation options are available for those who may feel anxious. After the surgery, some discomfort and swelling are normal, but these symptoms can typically be managed with over-the-counter pain relief medication. Your dentist will provide detailed aftercare instructions to ensure a smooth recovery.

What is the recovery time for titanium dental implants?

The recovery time for titanium dental implants varies by individual but typically takes a few weeks to a few months. After the initial implant placement, the bone needs time to heal and integrate with the implant, a process called osseointegration. During this period, patients are advised to follow a soft food diet and avoid putting pressure on the implant site. Your dentist will monitor your progress and guide you through the recovery process.

Can anyone get titanium dental implants?

Most adults in good health are candidates for titanium dental implants. However, certain conditions, such as uncontrolled diabetes, autoimmune diseases, or a history of radiation therapy to the jaw, may affect eligibility. A thorough evaluation, including dental and medical history, will be conducted by your dentist to determine if you are a suitable candidate. If you have concerns about your eligibility, be sure to discuss them with your dentist during your consultation.

How do I care for my titanium dental implants?

Caring for titanium dental implants is similar to caring for natural teeth. Daily brushing and flossing, along with regular dental check-ups, are essential to maintaining oral health and ensuring the longevity of your implants. Your dentist may recommend specific cleaning products or techniques to use around the implant area. It’s also important to avoid habits such as smoking and excessive consumption of sugary foods and beverages, as these can negatively impact oral health.
