Looking for a quick, fuss-free way to replace missing teeth? Maybe you’re in search of an alternative to close unsightly gaps?

You’ve come to the right place.

Here at Shawlands Dental Care, we’ve been offering top-quality treatments, including dental implants in Glasgow, to our patients for many years, and we’re dedicated to helping you achieve the smile of your dreams.

So, no matter the issues and insecurities you face regarding your teeth, getting dental implants in Glasgow will help improve your self-confidence and restore a healthy smile and a fully functional bite.

High-quality dental implants in Glasgow

An advanced dental implant procedure could be perfect for you if you have lost most or all your natural teeth.

The dental implant procedure involves attaching a full arch of prosthetic teeth to four or six dental implants, providing a permanent alternative to dentures.

Placing implants in the jaw at certain angles allows your dentist to support an entire bridge of beautiful, high-quality replacement teeth with a small number of implants, rather than using a single implant for each tooth.

Patients who have been turned down for dental implants in the past may be suitable candidates for Same-Day Teeth because these implants are placed toward the front of the mouth in denser bone.

You can receive your new teeth on the same day as your initial implant fitting. Once your implants have been placed, your dentist will attach a provisional bridge, restoring your smile and chewing functionality.

Several months later, once your implants have fully healed, you’ll attend a follow-up appointment to have your temporary bridge swapped out for a permanent one.

Dental implant process in Glasgow

There are several different steps involved in the dental implant process, and it starts with your initial consultation.

This is your chance to discuss your hopes and concerns about the procedure, and you’re dentist to assess your suitability. They’ll also be able to determine whether you need any additional treatments, such as jawbone preparation (bone graft surgery).

If you do need any additional treatments to prepare for dental implants, you’ll need to be fully healed and recovered before you can undergo implant placement.

Our dentists do this by making a small cut in your gum to expose the bone underneath and drilling a hole into the bone where the titanium post will sit.

Your gum will then be closed with stitches if you need them, but not everyone does.

If you opt for same-day smile implants, your new teeth will be restored the same day, but usually, your gums and bone will need time to heal before the abutment is attached. This can take anywhere between 6-12 weeks.

Once you’ve fully healed, your replacement tooth (or teeth) can be fitted, which are custom-made to match the shape and colour of your remaining natural teeth.

Finally, we’ll provide all the necessary aftercare advice and get you booked in for a follow-up appointment to see how you’re getting on with your new smile!

Dental implants in Glasgow for nervous patients

The dental implant procedure, for some, sounds incredibly daunting. Especially those who already suffer from dental anxiety.

But you shouldn’t let this stop you from achieving your dream smile.

Here at Shawlands Dental Care, we have many tried and tested methods to help you feel much calmer and more comfortable during your treatment – including IV sedation.

IV sedation makes it so that you’re unaware of the treatment, sending you into a sleep-like state so that you don’t feel any pain or discomfort associated with the procedure.

It’s completely safe to use, and our experts are trained to care for sedated patients to ensure ultimate comfort and safety.
