Dental Implants In Handforth
Restore Your Smile, Regain Your Confidence With Our Affordable Dental Implants
How Does A Dental Implant Work?
We place a single titanium implant into your jaw to serve as the replacement root. The process is quick and easy and can be done with just local anaesthesia. However, you will need to wait three to six months for the implant to heal before we can attach your new tooth.
After your jawbone has healed, an abutment will be attached to the implant which will then support and hold your replacement tooth (crown) in place. Abutments are made from titanium, gold or porcelain, and can come as a standard fit or custom-made just for you. These options offer various levels of aesthetic results, depending on what you’re looking for.
A crown is then fitted on top, to replace your missing tooth. Your dentist ensures that the colour of your new crown perfectly matches the shade of your other teeth matching in seamlessly.

Missing and damaged teeth
When teeth are missing, it’s not just your smile that suffers. It may be difficult to eat your favourite foods or you may experience pain from a muscle strain as the remaining teeth shift. Fortunately, this doesn’t have to be your reality. A tooth implant from Handforth Dental is the best replacement for a missing tooth allowing you to eat, smile and laugh with confidence.
How Do I Look After My Dental Implants?
The success of your implant treatment depends on proper care, which means daily plaque removal through brushing and flossing. Your dentist or hygienist will show you how to properly care for your implants, but it’s important to visit our practice at least once a year for maintenance appointments.
