Dental Implants Gateshead

What are Dental Implants?

A dental implant is an artificial replacement for your missing teeth. They are surgically inserted into your jawbone as foundations for a dental crown or bridge.

Every dental implant has three main parts:

• The implant post: it is the principal structure of your implants that fuses to your jawbone like a tiny screw.
• The abutment: it is the part of your dental implant that unites the post to your crown.
• The crown or denture: it is the final prosthesis restoration that allows you to eat and chew.

Are Dental Implants Right for Me?

On recent years, implant dentistry has advanced and improved its results, allowing us to solve numerous situations and complex cases. However, there are a few exceptions to implants’ versatility. 

If you have one or multiple missing teeth, dental implants are a treatment option you should consider. Our ideal candidates have a high bone quality with good oral and general health. 

Also, motivation and commitment play a crucial role in implant dentistry, as most treatments require long healing periods and multiple follow-up appointments. Yet, the results are worth the efforts. 

On the other hand, patients with diabetes, osteoporosis, insufficient bone quality, gum disease, or under oncologic medical treatment might not be eligible for dental implants.

At Denmark Street Dental Practice, we have been placing Dental Implants for over 30 years and have placed over 4000 implants in this time period. Our team has worked alongside world leaders in Implant provision as well as mentored several dentists who were starting their implant journeys. We have worked with a number of dental Implants systems including Nobel Biocare, Astra, Ankylos, Osteocare, Straumann, 3M, TBR and Endopore which allows us to deal with different types of cases.

Our team can take referrals for;

• Implant Placement and Restorations
• Soft and Hard Tissue Grafting Procedures
• Implant Placement only
• Ailing and failing Implants

We encourage all our referring practitioners to attend our introductory, in-house implant restoration course. This will train you sufficiently to carry out simple implant restorations and – even you do not ultimately wish to carry out the restorative phase of the implant treatment – will help improve referral relationships and, ultimately, the treatment for the patient.

If you already carry out simple surgical implant dentistry, we’re also happy to accept referrals for complex cases. You are most welcome to attend any surgical or restorative sessions on patients that you have referred.
