Replacing Missing Teeth with Dental Implants

Dental implants are small titanium posts placed in the jawbone to support replacement teeth such as crowns, bridges or dentures. They are planned to restore function and appearance as closely as possible, depending on your oral health, bone levels and treatment needs.

Dental implants can provide a long-term option for replacing missing teeth where there is enough healthy bone and suitable oral health. They may help support chewing function and reduce further bone changes in the area of a missing tooth, but suitability depends on a detailed assessment. Regent Dental provides implant consultations, digital planning and aftercare for patients considering implant treatment in Ilkley.

Regent Dental's Approach to Dental Implants

CBCT imaging may be recommended when three-dimensional information is needed to assess bone levels, nearby anatomical structures and implant positioning. Every scan should be clinically justified and used alongside a full dental assessment before treatment options are discussed.

1

Consultation and assessment

Your dentist will assess your teeth, gums, bite, medical history and suitability for implant treatment.

2

Digital imaging and treatment planning

X-rays or CBCT imaging may be recommended where clinically appropriate to assess bone levels and surrounding structures.

3

Treatment options and consent

We will explain the proposed treatment, alternatives, likely timescale, fees, risks and maintenance requirements before treatment begins.

4

Implant placement

The implant is placed into the jawbone under appropriate local anaesthetic. Sedation may be discussed for suitable nervous patients.

5

Healing and integration

The implant is allowed time to heal and integrate with the surrounding bone. The timescale varies depending on the case.

6

Restoration

Once suitable, the implant is restored with a crown, bridge or denture attachment according to your plan.

7

Maintenance and reviews

Long-term care includes good oral hygiene, professional maintenance and regular reviews.

The Regent Dental Experience

Aftercare and Recovery

Dental implants require consistent daily cleaning and regular professional maintenance. Your dentist or dental care professional will explain how to clean around the implant, crown, bridge or denture attachment, and whether additional tools such as interdental brushes or a water flosser may be helpful. Smoking, uncontrolled gum disease and poor oral hygiene can increase the risk of implant complications, so ongoing care is an important part of treatment.

Filling the Gaps for a Complete Smile

Dental implants can help restore the appearance of missing teeth and support everyday functions such as biting, chewing and speaking. Your dentist will explain what is realistic for your case after assessing your oral health, bone levels and treatment options.

FAQs

Suitability depends on your oral health, bone levels, medical history, gum health and treatment goals. Your dentist will carry out a full assessment and explain whether dental implants are appropriate for you.
Gum disease needs to be assessed and stabilised before implant treatment is considered. Patients with a history of periodontitis may have a higher risk of implant complications, so careful planning and ongoing maintenance are especially important.
Any active infection, gum disease or failing teeth will need to be assessed before implant treatment. In some cases, teeth may need to be treated or removed before implants can be planned safely.
Dental implants can last for many years, but their lifespan depends on oral hygiene, gum health, smoking, medical factors, bite forces and regular maintenance. Your dentist will explain how to look after your implant restoration and when to attend reviews.
A sinus graft, also called a sinus lift, may be recommended when there is not enough bone height in the upper back jaw for implant placement. It involves adding bone material beneath the sinus to create more support for future implants.
If you feel nervous about implant treatment, please tell us during your consultation. We can explain each stage, answer your questions and discuss options that may help you feel more comfortable. Intravenous sedation may be available for suitable patients following assessment.
In some cases, temporary teeth may be fitted on the same day as implant placement, but this is not suitable for everyone. Your dentist will assess your bone levels, oral health and treatment needs before advising what is possible.
Local anaesthetic is used during implant placement, so you should not feel sharp pain during the procedure. Some pressure, swelling or tenderness can occur afterwards. Your dentist will explain aftercare and what to do if discomfort is severe, unusual or does not settle.
You may be advised to eat soft foods after implant placement and avoid disturbing the surgical site while it heals. Your dentist will give you specific guidance based on the treatment carried out.
Full arch implants can affect your speech, especially in the initial adjustment period. However, most people adapt quickly, and speech typically improves over time. Most patients find that their speech returns to normal or even improves as they get used to their implants.
