The Dental Implant Process When you choose Dental Implants at our Hertfordshire practice, you'll experience a carefully planned treatment journey:

1. Initial Consultation We begin with a comprehensive examination at our Hitchin practice, including detailed X-rays and 3D scans. This helps us create a precise treatment plan tailored to your specific needs. Our advanced imaging technology allows us to assess bone density, plan optimal implant placement, and visualize the final results before treatment begins

2. Preparation Phase If necessary, we'll address any existing dental issues first. This may include:

• Removing damaged teeth with minimal trauma to surrounding tissue
• Performing bone grafting if required, using state-of-the-art materials
• Treating any gum disease to ensure optimal healing
• Ensuring optimal oral health before implant placement
• Creating a detailed surgical guide for precise implant positioning

3. Implant Placement Using advanced surgical techniques, we carefully place the titanium implants into your jawbone. Our experienced team ensures precise positioning for optimal results. The procedure is performed under appropriate anesthesia to ensure your comfort, and we use computer-guided surgery when beneficial for the most accurate placement.

6. Invest in Long-Term Solutions: While the initial cost of Dental Implants may seem significant, they offer exceptional longevity. With proper care and maintenance, dental implants can last a lifetime, making them a cost-effective solution for tooth replacement in Hertfordshire. Unlike other dental solutions that may need regular replacement or adjustment, dental implants provide a stable, permanent solution that can actually save money over time.

Timing Your Dental Implant Treatment Understanding when to get Dental Implants is crucial for optimal results:

1. Immediate Placement In many cases, we can place dental implants immediately after tooth extraction, potentially reducing overall treatment time. This approach can preserve bone structure and provide faster aesthetic results.

2. Post-Treatment Waiting Period If you've had recent dental work or oral surgery, we'll ensure proper healing before proceeding with implant placement, typically waiting 2-3 months. This patience ensures the best possible foundation for your new implants.

3. Optimal Conditions The best time for Dental Implants is when you have:

• Good oral health and regular hygiene habits
• Adequate bone density for implant support
• Healthy gums free from periodontal disease
• No active dental infections or underlying health issues
• A commitment to maintaining your oral health
