If you’ve lost a tooth and are unsure of your next step, Duffield Road Dental Care in Derby is here to guide you. Our dental implants offer a strong, natural-looking solution designed to blend seamlessly with your smile. Each implant functions just like a real tooth — allowing you to eat, speak, and smile with total confidence once again.
Because the implant is carefully placed within the jawbone, it stays secure and stable — no slipping, shifting, or discolouration over time. Even better, implants help keep your jawbone strong and maintain your natural facial shape, preventing the sunken look that can follow tooth loss.
At Duffield Road Dental Care, we believe everyone deserves to feel proud of their smile. Our expertly placed dental implants not only restore your appearance but also support lasting oral health — helping you look and feel your best every day.
A dental implant is an effective and permanent replacement tooth. It consists of a titanium root that is fitted into the jaw and will, over time, fuse with the jawbone. A natural-looking crown is then added to that root. The first crown will be a temporary one. Once the gum has properly healed and the implant settled, a few months later, you’ll return to us to have your permanent crown fitted.
Jawbones are naturally stimulated by the roots of your teeth. This keeps them healthy and strong. When you lose a tooth, your jawbone may begin to atrophy. But not if you’ve had a dental implant fitted! This is because the root of the implant mimics that of a tooth. A healthy jawbone means your facial structure is supported and you shouldn’t experience the sunken in, prematurely-aged look associated with jawbone atrophy.
No, that’s not the case! It’s possible for bridges of crowns to be secured at either end with an implant.
Dental implants are very safe and secure. The procedure to have them fitted is routine and performed by our experienced, highly trained dentists. Once fitted, they’re not going to fall out. The risk of them being rejected is also extremely low.
People who have had dental implants fitted love them because they look and feel like natural teeth, they’re secure, they’re long-lasting, and they’re easy to look after. They can be brushed in the normal way, along with the rest of your teeth.
Most people who have lost teeth are suitable for dental implants. However, the level of how invasive the procedure is depends on the individual. The quicker you can get to us following the loss of your tooth, the more likely it is we can perform the procedure in a straightforward manner without additional bone-grafting.
From the initial consultation, when we’ll assess your suitability, to the procedure itself, we’ll keep you informed of everything you need to know. We’ll ensure you’re as comfortable and pain-free as possible throughout the treatment, as well as provide you with valuable aftercare support.
To increase your chances of having a smooth dental implant procedure at our Derby practice, please get in touch as soon as you can. We’re happy to answer any questions you may have.
