Gaps within your teeth caused by missing teeth can have a massive impact on your life, but a dental implant procedure can change everything. Dental implants are a fantastic way to replace your missing teeth while also providing you with a better solution to having partial or complete dentures.
A dental implant is a titanium post (like a tooth root) that is surgically positioned into the jawbone beneath the gum line that allows your dentist to mount replacement teeth, including a crown, bridge, or denture in that area. An implant doesn’t come loose like a denture can. Dental implants also benefit general oral health because they do not have to be anchored to other teeth, like bridges. The teeth that come with implants are very natural looking and can enhance and restore your smile.
If you are looking for dental implants in Berwick, Langmore Dental is the right place for you. Give us a call today to explore your dental implants options.

What to expect with dental implants?
When getting a single dental implant or dental implants, you must know that this is an invasive procedure that involves a screw, an abutment, and a crown. For your initial visit, the dentist will do a full and thorough evaluation of your teeth, including x-rays and teeth models, to ensure that the implants will closely match your teeth. Once the initial assessment is done, the dental implant surgery will occur and is usually done in several stages, requiring your jawbone to heal entirely before more work is done.
- If the damaged tooth hasn’t come out yet, it will be removed.
- The jawbone will be prepped for the surgery so that the screw will be installed in it.
- Once the jawbone is healed, the implant will be inserted on the gum line.
- The jaw will need more time to heal again, and after that, the abutment will be placed, and the artificial tooth will be placed on top, which completes the procedure.
We know that you are wondering, “how painful is it to get dental implants?” but you don’t have to worry as the procedure is done with anesthetic. Also, dental implant recovery is generally pain-free, but expect to experience minor discomfort.
