Frequently Asked Questions about Dental Implants
Most adults in good general health and with healthy gums are good candidates for dental implants. However, factors like jawbone health, underlying medical conditions, and smoking can influence suitability. During your consultation, Dr Nicolas Montagnat will discuss the suitability of dental implants based on your individual situation.
Dr Nicolas Montagnat always prioritizes comfort throughout the dental implant procedure. Before the surgery, local anesthesia will be administered to numb the area, ensuring you feel minimal discomfort. Most patients report feeling only mild soreness or tenderness after the procedure, which can be easily managed with over-the-counter pain medication. For patients who require additional care or have dental anxiety, sedation can be arranged. Please get in touch for more information.
Dental implants are a a long-term solution for missing teeth. With proper care and regular maintenance, they can last for many years, and in some cases, a lifetime. However, the lifespan of dental implants can vary depending on factors such as the patient’s oral hygiene, the bone quality and other general health factors.
Caring for your dental implants is critical for their long term success, just like it is important to care for your natural teeth. You should brush them twice a day, and regularly visit your dentist for checkups and hygienist for cleanings. Additionally, you will need to use special tools, such as interdental brushes or water flossers, to clean around the implants. Dr Nicolas Montagnat will go through the hygiene techniques to keep your implants clean with you.
Dental implants are made up from several medical-grade components which have proven to be biocompatible by decades of research. The actual implant itself is made of Grade 5 Titanium, produced by world-class implant companies.
The dental crown on top of the implant is handmade with porcelain and is created unique for each tooth being replaced by a master dental technician in the UK. Porcelain achieves a natural-looking to blend seamlessly with the surrounding teeth. The standard porcelain can be upgraded to a top-of-the-range zirconia porcelain to gain extra strength.
Of course! Dr Nicolas Montagnat is experienced in dealing with complex implant cases, including the replacement of failing dental implants. It can be frustrating and stressful to have a dental implant fail, and it is important to find a comprehensive solution tailored to your specific needs.
Dental implants provide a significant advantage over dentures. Unlike dentures that can move and cause discomfort, implants function like natural teeth, allowing you to enjoy food and speak clearly. They’re a long-term investment, lasting several decades with proper care, and even promote jawbone health unlike dentures. Implants are a fixed solution that offers superior comfort and stability, eliminating the need for messy adhesives. Overall, they deliver a natural-looking smile and a significant boost to your confidence and quality of life.
Dental implants offer several key advantages over bridges. They preserve the health of adjacent natural teeth by not requiring any alteration or support from them. Additionally, implants stimulate and maintain jawbone density, preventing the bone loss commonly associated with missing teeth and bridges.
The cost of dental implants can vary widely depending on the number of implants needed, the location of the implants, the complexity of the case and other factors. Please book a consultation with Dr Nicolas Montagnat to receive a tailored treatment plan based on your specific needs.
What are the types of Dental Implants treatments?
Dr Nicolas Montagnat is an experienced Implant Surgeon and provides a comprehensive range of dental implant treatments from single implants to full-arch treatments and can also carry out bone grafts and sinus lifts.
Single Implants
A single dental implant is the most advanced and long-lasting solution for replacing a missing tooth. Whether you’ve lost a tooth due to injury, cavity, or infection, a dental implant restores both function and appearance, without affecting the neighbouring teeth.
Dr Nicolas Montagnat uses premium implant systems and digital workflows to ensure precise placement and natural-looking results to provide a new tooth that feels, looks, and functions just like your own.
Multiple Implants
If you’re missing more than one tooth, multiple dental implants can help restore both your ability to chew and your confidence when you smile. Depending on your needs, Dr Nicolas Montagnat may use individual implants or a fixed implant bridge to fill the gaps — all designed to look and feel natural.
With advanced planning and a minimally invasive technique, tailored implant treatment can be provided to support long-term oral health and function. Dr Nicolas will guide you through every step, ensuring you feel informed and comfortable throughout your journey.
Full-Arch Implant Bridge
If you’re missing all your teeth, wearing uncomfortable dentures or if you have noticed that all or most of your teeth are loose, damaged or broken, full-mouth dental implants can completely transform your smile — and your quality of life.
Using techniques like All-on-4 or fixed implant bridges, Dr Nicolas Montagnat can replace an entire arch of teeth with just four to six dental implants. The result is a secure, natural-looking set of teeth that stays firmly in place without slipping, clicking, or discomfort.
This treatment can be life-changing for many patients. With detailed planning, careful surgery, and a personalised aftercare plan, Dr Nicolas aims to restore not just your teeth, but your confidence too.
