Dental Implants Lisburn

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots made of titanium that are surgically placed into the jawbone to replace missing teeth. They provide a permanent base for fixed or removable replacement teeth, giving you a natural-looking and fully functional smile.

Dental implants offer several benefits, including:

• Restoring the appearance and function of missing teeth
• Preventing the remaining teeth from shifting and becoming crooked
• Improving your ability to chew food properly
• Enhancing speech and self-esteem
• Preserving the natural shape of your face, preventing a sunken or aged appearance

At Epic Dental in Lisburn, we offer a range of dental implant services, from cosmetic single-tooth implants for one or two missing teeth to implant-based full mouth treatments for replacing an entire arch or mouth of teeth.

People can lose their teeth for various reasons, including infection, gum disease, accidents, or injuries. When natural teeth are lost, it can lead to several issues such as shifting teeth, an improper bite, difficulty chewing, speech problems, and a lack of self-esteem.

The dental implant procedure typically involves several steps:

1. Consultation: Evaluation of your oral health and discussion of your treatment plan.
2. Surgery: Placement of the titanium implant into the jawbone.
3. Healing: A period of healing (usually a few months) to allow the implant to integrate with the bone.
4. Restoration: Attachment of the replacement tooth or teeth to the implant.

Recovery times vary depending on the individual and the complexity of the procedure, but most patients can expect to return to normal activities within a few days. Complete healing and integration of the implant with the jawbone typically take a few months.
