Implants

Titanium implants are used when
the patient is missing one or more
teeth and do not wish to wear a
denture. This restores the bite and
gives a more pleasing aesthetic
result.

Before placing the implant, we ask the patient to follow a quick process to ensure the mouth is prepared and germ free.

The Lucozade prevents any drops in the patients sugar levels.
We ask the patient to rinse with antiseptic mouthwash for 1 minute to rid the mouth of germs. Finally, the patient takes a course of painkillers to prevent dicomfort after the local anaesthetic wears off.
