Dental Implants
At Halo Dental, we provide dental implants in Sevenoaks to restore missing teeth with a solution that looks, feels, and functions like natural teeth. Implants can replace a single tooth, several teeth, or even support full arches, helping you regain confidence in your smile and bite.
What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are small titanium posts that act as artificial tooth roots. They are placed into the jawbone, where they fuse naturally with the bone to create a stable foundation for replacement teeth such as crowns, bridges, or dentures. Because they integrate with the bone, implants are strong, long-lasting, and designed to look and feel like real teeth. At Halo Dental, dental implants are carefully planned and placed for both comfort and function.
Benefits and Suitability
Dental implants in Sevenoaks may be suitable if you:
- Have one or more missing teeth.
- Struggle with loose dentures or bridges.
- Want a fixed and stable solution.
- Prefer a replacement that feels and functions like natural teeth.
Implants also help prevent bone loss in the jaw and support overall oral health. Most adults in good general health with healthy gums and sufficient bone can be suitable for treatment. At Halo Dental, your dentist will carry out a thorough assessment to confirm if implants are right for you.
The Treatment Process
The implant process usually takes place over several months. First, a detailed consultation and scans are carried out. The implant is then placed into the jawbone under local anaesthetic. A healing period of a few months allows the implant to integrate with the bone. Once healed, a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture is securely fitted to complete your new smile. Throughout, your comfort and care are prioritised at Halo Dental in Sevenoaks.
Aftercare & Next Steps
With good oral hygiene and routine check-ups, dental implants can last for many years. Daily brushing, flossing, and professional cleaning appointments will help protect both your implant and surrounding teeth.
