What is a Dental Implant?
When a tooth is removed or lost, whether it is due to dental injury or decay, a single dental implant can be used to replace the root portion of the tooth.
Made from titanium alloy, the dental implant is surgically placed directly into the jawbone so it can support dental crowns and bridges to restore long-term function.
Our team of implant dentists at Fresh Dental Smile Clinic York are happy to discuss all the considerations for replacing missing teeth with dental implants.
Types of dental implants we offer
All-on-four
At Fresh Dental Smile Clinic, we are proud to offer revolutionary all-on-four dental implants. This advanced technique provides a full-arch restoration using just four strategically placed implants, giving you a stable and permanent solution for missing teeth.

Denture stabilisation

What does dental implant treatment in York involve?
Initially, our dental implant dentist will ensure there is sufficient bone to support the implant. If this is found to be the case, your dental professional will begin treatment by placing you under local anaesthetic to ensure a painless procedure. Those with dental phobia or nervous patients may be advised to go under dental sedation for a more comfortable experience.
A small hole will then be drilled into the jawbone using a special dental implant drill where the titanium implant is fitted and left to heal for around 3 to 6 months.
During this time a temporary tooth will be attached. Then, once the integration of the implant placement is complete, your implant dentist will be able to fit a crown, bridge or denture according to your wishes.
Possible complications with dental implants
In rare cases, a dental implant might not integrate with the jawbone, leading to failure. However, this is uncommon. Our implant dentist in York assesses each implant case individually to consider possible risks and problems related to implant surgery in advance.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long does dental implant treatment take?
The length of dental implant treatment will differ per patient and circumstance. However, on average you can expect treatment to take around 1-2 hours for each dental implant procedure.

What if I need a bone graft for my dental implant treatment?
A dental bone graft is an additional procedure implemented when there is insufficient jaw bone to support a dental implant. This usually happens when a patient has had gum disease or lost teeth but hasn't replaced the missing teeth. Over time, this can cause the jawbone to shrink.
In the past, it was not possible to use dental implants in places where there was insufficient jaw bone.
However, modern advances in implant dentistry have seen this change.
We can take bone grafts from other areas of the body or use artificial bone graft substitutes to help compensate for any deficiency in bone quality or quantity to facilitate the placement of dental implants.
Am I too old for a dental implant? Is there an age limit for implants?
No, you are never too old for a dental implant.
As soon as the jaw has stopped growing an implant can be placed.
Therefore in younger patients implants can only be placed when the jaw bone is fully developed. At the other end of the spectrum, there is no age limit for implants as long as there are no significant medical risk factors.
