Tooth replacement

Dental implants in Camden

A long-lasting option for replacing missing teeth — carefully planned and explained from the start.

A dental implant is a small titanium post placed into the jawbone to support a replacement tooth, bridge or denture. At Dentistree in Camden, implant treatment begins with a thorough consultation including an examination, discussion of your medical history and, where indicated, 3D imaging to assess bone and surrounding structures. We'll explain how implants work, what's realistic in your situation and what other options — such as bridges or dentures — might also be worth considering.

Implants are a process, not a quick fix

Implant treatment typically takes several months from start to finish. After the implant is placed, the bone needs time to integrate with the implant — usually 3–6 months — before the final crown, bridge or denture is fitted. Suitability depends on factors including bone volume and quality, gum health, general medical health, smoking status and how well you can maintain oral hygiene. Implants are not appropriate for every patient, and some cases require additional procedures such as bone grafting, or referral to a specialist. As with any surgical procedure, there are risks and benefits that your clinician will discuss with you in detail before you decide.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Suitability depends on factors including your bone quality, gum health, general medical health and lifestyle factors such as smoking. A consultation with your dentist is the only way to know whether implants are likely to work well for you.

Most implant treatment takes several months. After the implant is placed, the surrounding bone usually needs 3 to 6 months to fully heal and integrate before the final tooth is fitted.

The procedure itself is performed under local anaesthetic so you shouldn't feel pain during placement. Most people manage post-operative discomfort well with simple pain relief, and your clinician will give you detailed aftercare instructions.

With good oral hygiene, regular check-ups and a healthy lifestyle, implants can last many years. Like natural teeth, they require ongoing care to stay healthy.

Depending on the situation, alternatives can include a fixed bridge, a removable denture or, in some cases, leaving the gap if it isn't causing problems. Your dentist will discuss the pros and cons of each option with you.

As with any surgical procedure, there are potential risks including infection, nerve injury, sinus involvement and implant failure. These are uncommon when treatment is properly planned, and your clinician will explain the specific risks in your case before you proceed.
