Complex Dental Implants
Some dental implant cases are more complex, particularly when there is insufficient bone to safely place the implants, or if aesthetic concerns need to be addressed. Complex cases may arise from genetic conditions, previous dental work, oral cancer surgery, or trauma. These cases require specialist care and advanced planning.
At our Harley Street clinic, we have the expertise to handle complex dental implant procedures. Our approach begins with a detailed diagnosis, using advanced imaging techniques such as CT scans, and planning each step of the process to optimise the outcome. For more complex cases, additional procedures like bone grafting or maxillofacial surgery may be required.
Are Dental Implants Safe?
While the dental implant market has grown, it’s important to prioritise quality over price. Research shows that the quality of implant materials can impact the long-term success of the procedure. Choosing a reputable clinic with skilled maxillofacial surgeons ensures the safety of the procedure and the best possible outcome.
The risks associated with dental implants include infection, nerve damage, and complications with the jaw or sinus cavities. However, these risks are rare and can be managed by experienced professionals who take a thorough and personalised approach to treatment.
Comprehensive Treatment Options
At our Harley Street clinic, we provide solutions for both simple and complex cases. Whether you need to replace a single tooth or multiple teeth, dental implants can support a variety of restorative procedures, including bridges and dentures.
We also offer options for implant-supported dentures, both removable and screw-retained, which offer increased stability and comfort. Our goal is to restore your dental function, improve your oral health, and enhance your quality of life.
Diagnosis & Planning
The key to successful dental implants is a thorough consultation with a consultant maxillofacial surgeon. Your consultant will assess your overall oral health, including any periodontal care needed to prevent complications like peri-implantitis.
Following a full examination and imaging tests, your consultant will develop a personalised treatment plan. This includes evaluating the condition of your bone and determining if additional procedures such as bone grafts or augmentation are necessary.
Dental Implant Treatment Process
The treatment can be carried out under local or general anaesthesia, depending on your needs. The process typically happens in stages, allowing time for healing and integration. A detailed treatment schedule will be provided after your consultation, ensuring clear communication and a safe, effective procedure.
Whether you need a single crown, several crowns, or a full set of teeth, the transformation will be remarkable. Aftercare is also important to ensure the longevity of your implants, including regular check-ups and professional cleaning.
