Dental Implants Harleston Norfolk
Welcome to Harleston Dental and Aesthetic Clinic, where our highly experienced implant dentists have been successfully placing and restoring stunning looking dental implants for patients from Norfolk and North Suffolk for many years.
What are dental implants?
Dental implants function just like real teeth, allowing you to speak, smile, and eat just as you normally would. The process involves placing a titanium screw into the jawbone to anchor your new crown securely in place, providing stability and durability unmatched by any other tooth replacement solution.
We provide a temporary crown before you leave to allow your mouth to heal before placing the permanent replacement tooth. The healing process takes around eight to ten weeks to ensure the dental implant is fully integrated into the jawbone, ready to support your new tooth. Once the healing is complete, you can return for the final fitting of your crown and leave with your brand new tooth securely in place. We recommend regular visits to our practice so we can guide you on how to care for your new dental crown and ensure the implant remains firmly in place.
Dental Implant Suitability
If you are considering dental implants as a restorative option, it is crucial to consult with a dental professional to determine if you are a suitable candidate for implant placement and to discuss the treatment process and expected outcomes based on your individual needs and oral health condition.
STEP BY STEP GUIDE
Dental Implants Procedure
By following these steps and maintaining proper oral care, you can achieve a natural-looking and durable tooth replacement with dental implants.
Consultation and Examination
Arrange a consultation with a skilled oral surgeon or periodontist for dental implants. They'll comprehensively assess your oral health to verify your suitability for the procedure.
Treatment Planning
After analysis, the expert will devise a personalised plan for your dental implant surgery. This may include further imaging tests like X-rays or CT scans to assess bone density and figure out the best placement for the implant.
Tooth Extraction (if needed)
If you possess a damaged or decayed tooth requiring replacement with a dental implant, the specialist might suggest extracting the tooth prior to proceeding with the implant placement.
Implant Placement
The expert will implant the titanium fixture into the jawbone, serving as the artificial root for the dental crown. The gum tissue will be re-stitched, and a temporary crown might be affixed to the implant.
Osseointegration
Over the coming months, the implant will merge with the adjacent bone through a method known as osseointegration. This process is crucial for the durability and lifespan of the dental implant.
Abutment Placement
Once osseointegration is achieved, a minor secondary procedure might be needed to fix the abutment, linking the implant fixture to the dental crown. The gum tissue is then given a few weeks to recover around the abutment.
Dental Crown Placement
Finally, a custom dental crown, matching your natural teeth in colour and shape, is firmly attached to the implant abutment. This completes the restoration of your missing tooth.
Follow-Up Visits
Post-procedure, you'll have follow-ups to monitor healing and confirm the implant's function. Regular dental checks and good oral hygiene are essential for the implant's long-term success.

What are dental implants and how do they work?
Our expert implant dentists have been installing and restoring dental implants for Harleston and Norfolk clients for many years. These implants function like real teeth, enabling normal talking, smiling, and eating.
What's the procedure for dental implants?
Before leaving, you'll get a temporary crown to heal before final tooth insertion. Typically, the recovery phase lasts 8-10 weeks, allowing the implant to merge securely with the jaw bone, firmly anchoring your new tooth.
What are the steps for placing the final crown?
Once the healing process is finalised, you will come in for the final fitting of your crown, leaving with your brand-new tooth securely in place. This final step enables patients to begin using their new tooth immediately.
What is the dental implant maintenance plan?
After fitting the dental implant, regular visits to the dentist are recommended. During these visits, we will show you how to maintain your new dental crown and ensure long-term stability of your dental implant.
