Missing teeth can impact your confidence, your ability to chew properly, and even your oral health. If you’re considering dental implants at Foley Park Dental and Implant Centre, you might be wondering: “Will I have to go without teeth while I wait for my implants to heal?” The good news is, in most cases, the answer is a resounding no!
At Foley Park Dental and Implant Centre, we understand the importance of having a complete and functional smile throughout your implant journey. We utilise advanced techniques and technologies to ensure you don’t have to face the world with gaps in your smile.
Traditional Implant Placement and the Waiting Game:
Traditional dental implant procedures often involve a healing period of several months after the implant is placed and before the final restoration (crown, bridge, or denture) is attached. This healing time is crucial for osseointegration – the process where the implant fuses with the jawbone. While this healing is essential for long-term success, it understandably leaves some patients concerned about their appearance and functionality during this period.
Our Solutions for a Seamless Transition:
We believe that no one should have to go without teeth, even temporarily. That’s why we offer several options to bridge the gap (pun intended!) while you wait for your implants to heal:
- Immediate Temporary Restorations: In many cases, we can place temporary crowns, bridges, or dentures immediately after implant placement. These temporary restorations look and function like natural teeth, allowing you to maintain your smile and chew comfortably while the implants heal.
- Removable Dentures: For patients who need more extensive implant work, removable dentures can be a good option. These dentures can be custom-made to fit comfortably and securely, providing a natural-looking smile while you wait for your permanent restorations.
- Digital Smile Design and Planning: Using advanced digital imaging and planning software, we can create a precise treatment plan that takes into account your individual needs and ensures a smooth and predictable implant process. This technology also allows us to fabricate temporary restorations that fit perfectly and look natural.
