Dental Implants

City Dental Care   provides dental implants to replace missing teeth, to enable our patients to maintain a perfect smile and full function of the dentition.

Dental implants are made from titanium or titanium alloy. A dental implant is a replacement for a natural root and commonly it is screw or cylinder shaped. Each implant is placed into a socket carefully drilled at the precise location of the intended tooth and is carefully screwed into the prepared site. The main aim during installation of any implant is to achieve immediate close contact with the surrounding bone. The implant then integrates with the surrounding bone and can be used to attach crowns, bridges or dentures.

Implants are one way of replacing missing teeth.

A post is planted in the jaw bone to support a missing tooth. This acts like the root of a natural tooth. Implants can also be used to support fixed bridges or dentures.

Implant treatment has two stages. First, the implant is placed in the jaw. Then, when the jaw has healed,
replacement teeth are attached to the implant.

What will my dentist do?
First you should decide whether implants could be right for you. Ask your dentist about the stages of treatment, about who would be carrying out each stage and the timetable for completing treatment.
Your own dentist might do the implant surgery or you might have to be referred to a specialist.
If you decide to go ahead, this is what will happen.

• Implants are put into holes in the jaw with a local or general anaesthetic.
• The implant is screwed or pushed in and the gum is stitched so that it heals over the implant.
• Under the gum, the bone then grows round the implant to hold it firm. This takes several months. 

Implants usually have two sections - the post in the jaw and an extension that is added later when the post is secure. Attaching the extension needs a small cut in the gum above the implant. You might have more than one implant. The replacement teeth might be fixed permanently (like a crown or bridge) or attached in a way which lets you remove them for cleaning (like a denture).

Dental Implants

Sometimes, there will be a gap below the tooth so that the implant can be kept clean, but people won’t see it.

What are the benefits?

• Some people can’t use removable dentures however hard they try and however hard the dentist tries to make the denture a good fit.
• Implants can be a last chance for eating and speaking properly and for improving appearance.
• Implants keep a denture very stable.
• People will not be able to see that your teeth are supported by implants.

Implants are not suitable for all patients.

Sedation

Sedation

Dental fear is a reaction to a known danger. For instance, you may have had a tooth removed, experienced some pain in the process and therefore worry about experiencing it again.

Dental phobia is similar to dental fear but more severe. It is also often the product of a bad past experience. For some people dental phobia can be so crippling that just seeing a toothpaste advert or passing a dental surgery in a car or on foot can cause distress.

Visiting the dentist when you have a phobia

If you're in need of dental treatment or just keen to register for the future, the first stage is to find a suitable dentist who can help with your phobia. The City Dental Care Practice has over 10 years of experience in providing care for patients who have dental fear and dental phobia.

We understand that many people suffer with dental problems and it is the fear of the dentist that prevents them from seeking help. We can offer a sedation service that will help you overcome the fear and receive the treatment you need in comfort.

We offer Intravenous Sedation.

 Intravenous Sedation

Intravenous sedation is used at this practice to carry out routine dental treatment on very anxious patients, as well as minor surgical procedures [i.e. removal of wisdom teeth].
Intravenous sedation is administered by an injection in the arm or back of the hand. This has the effect of relaxing you and enables the dentist to carry out the rest of your treatment .You will still require local anaesthetic for your dental treatment even under sedation.
The dentist will take a detailed medical history before carrying out the procedure, and also explain what will happen. Please let the dentist know of any medical conditions or of any medication you are currently taking. Sedation does not put you to sleep, it just helps you to relax. You will remain conscious throughout the treatment but you may not remember very much afterwards.



Pre- operative instructions.

• Do have your regular meals 6 hours before the appointment.
• Bring a responsible adult with you to take you home by car or taxi.
• Inform the dentist of any medication you have taken.
• Bring the signed consent form.
  

Post operative instructions.

• You may feel drowsy after the treatment, therefore, you will be required to stay in the clinic
  until the dentist / anesthesiologist discharges you.
• You must rest and not perform any physically demanding work.
• You must not drive or operate any machinery.
• You must not consume any alcohol after sedation.
• You must contact the surgery if any problems arise.
