Dental Implants Rochester
The permanent replacement for missing, decayed or loose teeth
What are Dental Implants
If you have a single missing tooth or many missing, decayed or loose teeth, you can now permanently replace them with dental implants.
Unlike dentures, dental implants are fused to your jawbone, so you don’t have to worry about problems with eating, speaking or cleaning replacement teeth.
Patients across Rochester and surrounding areas are choosing dental implants because they give natural looking new teeth and provide a long-term solution.
Types Of Dental Implants
Single dental implant
This is a good solution if you have one or two missing teeth or are looking to replace one or two teeth that are in very poor condition.
All-on-4 / Full Arch Implants
Worth considering if you have many missing teeth or no teeth at all, this treatment replaces a full arch of teeth using just 4 dental implants.
Dentures
Implant-supported dentures give your denture a stable, secure fit by anchoring it to dental implants, so you don't have to worry about it slipping when eating or speaking.
Failing Implants
If an existing implant is loose, infected or no longer functioning well, we can assess the cause and provide treatment to save, replace or restore it.
Multiple Implants
If you have several missing teeth, this option uses two or more implants to support a bridge, replacing multiple teeth without touching healthy neighbouring teeth.

How do dental implants work at Smileology in Rochester?
Initial Consultation
At your first free consultation we will check on the health of your teeth and gums. We will take photographs, scans and x-rays. We’ll also talk through the process and benefits of dental implants, and we will discuss your medical history.It is important to check on the health of your gums so that they can support dental implants.
When you are ready to go ahead with dental implant treatment, we will book an appointment at the dental surgery in Rochester.
Dental Implant Surgery
At your next appointment, we will give you a local anaesthetic in your gums. This will mean that you don’t feel anything whilst we carry out the dental implant surgery.
The type of dental implants that you have chosen, will affect the number of dental implants that you have. We will then insert these gently into your gums.
An abutment or screw is then fitted to the implant, and this connects the final piece – the crown or new false tooth into your gum. At this stage, we will fix a temporary crown to your dental implant.
Your mouth and gums may feel sore after dental implant surgery, but this is manageable with paracetamol.
Healing
It is essential that we allow between 2 and 6 months for your gums to heal and for your dental implant to fuse with your jawbone. This process is called osseointegration and is vital to the success of your dental implants.
During this time, Smileology in Rochester will create your custom-made crown or new tooth. This will be colour matched to any remaining teeth that you have or will be made according to the shade that you and your dentist have chosen together.
Fitting of your bespoke tooth
Once your healing period has finished and we are happy that your dental implant has fused sufficiently to your jawbone, we will invite you back to the dental practice in Rochester to have your final restoration fitted.
Maintenance
Now that your dental implant surgery is complete, it is important that you maintain your new teeth and gums to ensure the longevity of your dental implants. Be sure to brush your teeth thoroughly twice a day. Floss once a day. Visit your dentist and hygienist regularly to ensure that your teeth and gums are healthy.
What are the benefits of dental implants?
Patients are choosing dental implants because:
Dental implants permanently replace gaps in your smile or teeth that are in very bad condition
You can regain your confidence to smile with dental implants
You can protect the health of any adjacent teeth with dental implants
With dental implants you can improve your facial structure by preventing your face from sagging and looking older
Dental implants mean you avoid any pain or problems that missing teeth may give you with eating, talking or slipping dentures
FAQs
Can anyone have dental implants?
Most adults with missing teeth or teeth that are in very bad condition can have dental implants. We need to check that your gums are healthy and that you have sufficient jawbone to support dental implants. We also need to check your medical history.
If you are a smoker, we ask that you give up before having dental implants as this greatly affects the success rate of dental implants. We will also check that you don’t have certain medical conditions or are taking certain medication which can also affect whether dental implants are successful.
How long do dental implants last?
Dental implants last between 20 and 30 years. But with good care and maintenance, there’s no reason why they cannot last a lifetime.
Are dental implants safe?
Yes, they are. Dental implants have been successfully used as a replacement for missing teeth for over 30 years. They are extremely safe and pose almost no risks to patients who do not have any major health problems. Titanium is used with dental implants because they are durable and have a good compatibility with human tissue.
