When it comes to\nhelping you look after your smile you can\u2019t go wrong with Sheen Dental Implants in Richmond<\/strong>, we can replace cracked or\ndamaged teeth and fill in any unsightly gaps you may have. This is all managed\nthrough the use of our dental implantation techniques.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s a brief\nsummary of what we provide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is dental implantation?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

With our Sheen Dental Implants in Richmond<\/a> service, we essentially provide a prosthetic\nreplacement tooth for anyone with damaged teeth or gaps that they may feel\nself-conscious about. In this treatment a fake tooth is inserted below your gum\nline and into your jawbone, it\u2019s held in place with a sterile titanium screw\nacting as a tooth root that your jawbone will naturally heal around,\nintegrating it into the bone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The tooth is\nnormally composed of porcelain or composite resin, this is because they are\nsturdy materials and can be easily coloured to match the shade of your teeth to\nallow the implant to blend in more naturally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How is it done?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

 The process of having an implant fitted is\nactually pretty simple and not overly invasive. When you first stop by for your\nappointment at our Sheen Dental\nimplants in Richmond<\/strong> practice your dentist will normally have a\nconsultation meeting first, then there may be an inspection or cleaning of the\narea. A shading match and casting will follow to allow us to create a natural\nlooking implant that will then be fitted through minor oral surgery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Is it painful?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

 One of the biggest questions our patients have\nabout treatments is whether they are going to be painful. In the case of\nimplants there may be some mild discomfort during the procedure, but a local\nanaesthetic is used to limit this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 At Sheen Dental<\/strong>, our team will fit your\nnew implant in a quick and professional manner whilst trying to keep the amount\nof discomfort you feel to an absolute minimum.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Also, it\u2019s worth\nkeeping in mind that because we use an anaesthetic you should try to arrange\ntransport home as you\u2019re going to be unable to drive for a while. Try booking a\ntaxi before you come to the practice or have a friend drive you home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to care for your implant<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

After you have\nyour implant fitted you just have to keep it clean to allow it to heal\nproperly. You can brush it normally as you would the rest of your teeth, but\ntry to avoid pressing too hard with your brush as you may dislodge or damage\nthe new tooth. Also if you floss do not pull too deep between your teeth and\navoid using mouthwash for a while, as the chemicals in some brands can inhibit\nyour gum\u2019s ability to heal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Regular cleaning of your implant can help you avoid it from becoming infected or inflamed, so brush it often. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
