Dental Implants

1. In a nutshell what is a dental implant?

A dental implant is a restorative dental treatment to replace missing teeth.

An implant will be placed into the jawbone to act as the root of the tooth for the crown or denture used to close the gap.

An implant can be used to support one missing tooth or multiple teeth, depending on the position in the mouth.

2. Which material are dental implants made from?

Implants are made from inert medical titanium. Titanium being a member of the metal family means that dental implants are very strong and durable.

3. How long do dental implants last?

Dental implants have been around for 45 years and show excellent longevity.

The longevity of your implant will depend on how well you keep up your oral health regime at home as well regularly attending your dental appointments.

4. What are the treatment steps?

There will be 3 appointments needed to fit your implant which can take up to 4 months to complete. The first appointment will be an exam to assess the implant site, the second will be to place the implant and the third to place the crown, bridge or denture.

At Dental & Skin we advise that you come in for an exam, where we can assess your situation and then provide you with an accurate time scale for treatment.

5. What about after treatment?

After treatment the bone in your jaw will need to fuse to the implant.

The time frame for this process varies from patient to patient, and can take up to a few months. Some implants are strong enough when placed, for the crown or bridge to be fitted sooner.

Having an implant requires a patient to be thorough in their oral health care regime. At Dental & Skin we will give you detailed advice on how to clean the hard to reach areas, as well as booking you in for your next hygiene treatment to maintain results.

6. Will there be any pain during treatment?

To place your implant a local anaesthetic will be used, and during treatment you will not feel any pain. A general anaesthetic is used only in complicated and rare cases.

For a week or so after treatment you may feel some discomfort, as you would with an extraction, this is normal and nothing to worry about.

7. Which Implant systems are there?

Dental implants are the fastest growing dental treatment in the world, and in the UK we find various dental implant brands.

At Dental & Skin we only use brands that have shown long term success. A few examples are the brands below.

Straumann

Advantages

The Straumann system is one of the most well-researched and invested in implantology system. The manufacturing process is of the highest quality with systematic checks. This system is available at both bone and tissue level and produces excellent healing results.

Disadvantages

Where this system excels in quality it lacks in aesthetics and is met with a high cost.

Nobel Biocare

Advantages

The Nobel Biocare system has the ability to treat all implantology cases with its predictable outcomes, and scientifically backed evidence. This system has a colour coded system and tapered design to produce excellent aesthetic results. Nobel Biocare is versatile and flexible, making it a popular choice on the dental market.

Disadvantages
This system may not be suitable for patients who require a larger implant, to fit a bigger implant with Nobel Biocare your implantologist will need to over prepare.

Ankylos

Advantages

The Ankylos system is a simple and flexible system, with interchangeable components backed by 20 years of dental history. This system has a low cost, with abutments in different diameters.

Disadvantages

The Ankylos system is not suitable for patients who require a larger implant.

BioHorizon

Advantages

The BioHorizon system is a popular system on the dental market for their implant survival rate of 99.2%. This system is highly flexible, and patients who opt for this system experience a good contact between their bone and implant. This means that patients are less likely to experience bone loss with this system.

Osstem

Advantages

The Osstem system strives to meet client satisfaction by improving their impression materials, x-rays and unit and chair. This system is a good choice for patients who have a weaker bone and require extra support.

8. What happens if there is not enough bone?

If a patient requires more bone, a bone graft is an option. A bone graft will be needed when a patient does not have enough bone around the root of their tooth to support the implant. This loss of bone usually occurs due to decay and disease.

There are different types of bone graft:

Natural Bone Graft – This bone graft requires two operations, one to take the bone (usually from the hip) and the other to place the bone. Due to this graft being from one’s own body, it is highly successful and the patient is at less risk of disease.
Synthetic Bone Graft – This type of bone graft likewise to natural carries no risk of disease transfer, however differs in that it only requires only one procedure. This graft is made from synthetic materials to replicate that of the natural bone. This synthetic material does run the risk of being weakened due to the surgical procedure.

Donated Bone Graft – This type of bone graft is taken from cadavers. A donated bone graft goes through a thorough testing process to eliminate the risk of disease transfer and rejection. This graft is a good option for patients who do not wish to take bone from their own body.

    Stefanie Akinmade

    I have been a client of Dental and Skin since January and I've had a really good experience. I had some intense dental procedures over the past few months and everyone has been super patient and understanding. Plus, they really breakdown the cost of everything so you know what to expect and plan for. That said, the staff is super friendly and I feel like I am seeing friends when I have my visits which actually makes going to the dentist more enjoyable.
    Fiona Morrison

    I would highly recommend this practice. Staff are friendly and efficient and the practice has all the latest technology for both teeth and skin. I had the hygiene treatment today and my teeth feel lovely and clean. Kaitlin was very friendly and knowledgeable as well as doing a great job. Very happy customer.
    Daniela Camacho

    Very happy that i choose to get my Lip Filler (1 ml) at Dental And Skin as i received a very good service and i'm pleased with the outcome of my treatment. Good and relaxing atmosphere. Highly recommend for skin treatments, i'm already going back for teeth whitening 🙂
    Amy Monty

    I love this place. Having always hated dentists, they are so kind and gentle and calm that I now have no fear about going in! I've never had any pain or discomfort in the chair. The offices are lovely and calm and facilities are high spec. I always work with the same people, which is nice, a this means you know exactly who you will see every time and if you have an issue you are never fobbed off to someone who doesn't know your background. They always take time to check in with me and explain fully every product and answer any questions I have. I can't recommend DS highly enough!
    Ross Butler

    I have lived in London for 15 years and this is my favourite dentist in London, The service is fantastic and I always walk away feeling better than I did go in, even if it is just a check up. There is no other reason to visit another dentist than this one 🙂
    Jack Paire

    Wow, a great skin clinic! Received excellent and accurate advise for my skin. I found my consultation unique, Dr Patel analysed my face, skin and highlighted areas that could be improved. He is very experienced and knew exactly what I needed. The clinic was calm and relaxing, I decided to go for botox treatment as I have had it several times at various clinics in Australia and London. The preparation at Dental & Skin was longer, strength of my face muscles and skin were thoroughly examined, treatment performed. It took a only a few minutes to complete, I went back to work and forgot about it. The results at follow up were perfect, in fact the best botox treatment I have had to date. I will definitely return for further treatments. I am comfortable to openly recommend Dental & Skin.

    Probably the best dentist I have ever visited. The gentlemen was an assassin. I was in need of root canal treatment before I went away on holiday for a month. He had me in and out of the chair within an hour and virtually no pain with the best advice ever received. Pure artist in his profession.
    Katy Ordidge

    There is a really nice ambience in this practice and all the staff are helpful. Dr Patel is wonderful - very calm and reassuring. He takes time to explain everything and make sure you are happy with the treatment plan. I highly recommend this practice.

    Raisa - MARIA Bratucu

    I went to Dental & Skin for a teeth whitening treatment and I am vert satisfied with the results. Moreover, the staff are friendly and helpful and the dental practice is very clean.
    Naomi Morton

    I was recommended to see Dr Vishal for Invisalign braces. I was impressed by how simple the treatment was, Dr Vishal's explanation was full and included a printed plan. I completed my treatment within 6 months with Invisalign Lite. The clever bit of technology was the live design session that allowed my teeth to be move into position on a computer screen, while we planned treatment. The appointments were easy to make and my treatment finished slightly earlier than expected. The results are amazing, I love my smile. I do recommend friends and family to visit Dental & Skin. Dr Vishal is an expert in smile creating, he's very gentle and friendly.
    Rob Winship

    I visit this dentist for the first time, I have visit several dentist in Islington. Its natural to compare your experiences, I found Dental & Skin calm and relaxing, this is unusual as my previous other dental experiences have been a bit rushed. Its fair to say that for me this is the best dentist in Islington. I was provided with precise care, they took time to understand me and my concerns, I was provided with various choices. I was offered an appointment immediately, all my treatment completed within one week. This was by far the most efficient experience I have had at a dentist. Thank you for providing such great care. No pain, all treatment completed as planned, I feel great. I will definitely visit again.

    Sosan Yousuf

    I found Dental & skin online and decided to attend for skin analysis, my skin was thoroughly and systematically checked for wrinkles, volume, skin problems, measurements using a ruler for proportions. I was offered various treatments like skin peels, miconeedling, skin brightening, scar reduction, PRP therapy and dermal fillers. I felt that there was a lot of options for treatment. I wanted lip dermal fillers, specific shape or enhancement. I felt that I was understood and it was the right choice for me and decided to have one treatment. Paperwork was completed and I was informed of all potential complications that could occur and written aftercare, little scary when you read documents but I felt confident to continue. Numbing cream on my lips took only a few minutes to work. Now that I have completed my fist lip dermal fillers, I would definitely recommend Dental & Skin.
