Overview
Dentures and bridges used to be the main choices for replacing missing teeth. While dental bridges can make your teeth look better, your own natural teeth and gums or dentures have to hold them in place, and sometimes they might not stay put. Dental implants at Lochside Dental Dumfries give you a newer way to fix missing teeth and give you back your smile. Shaped like a tooth root and made from titanium alloy, they’re placed in the jaw just wherever there is enough strong bone for support.

Understanding Dental Implants
Dental implants are now widely used by people who are missing teeth because they’re strong and look just like natural teeth. At Lochside Dental Dumfries we not only do regular dental implants but also a more simple option called mini implants. Because they have a natural appearance, and little care is involved in the process, people prefer using them. With implants made from titanium, the bone will grow into it in the jaw, and it supports new teeth such as bridges or crowns. It also serves the purpose of keeping your bones healthy, and less likely to fracture.
How Long Do Implants Last?
Dental implants consist of three parts. The titanium post, once placed, can last over 20 years if you maintain regular dental visits. It’s strong and binds well with your jawbone. The crown may need to be replaced every 5–15 years depending on the material. Daily brushing and flossing, along with regular cleanings, help keep your implant in good condition. Your dentist will recommend the most suitable crown material.

Healing and Bonding Period
The titanium post is gently placed into the jawbone. Over time, it bonds with the bone, forming a stable foundation.

After healing, a support post is added to the implant, ready for the final step.

In the end, a crown is fitted, it will give a natural appearance and feel.
