Dental implant treatments vary in cost. It purely depends on your individual needs. As a general rule of thumb, dental implants start from £2,400 per implant. At Ollie & Darsh, we offer 10, 12 and 24-month interest-free dental plans to spread the cost of your dental implants, making them an achievable dream for most people.
Dental implants are less of a quick fix and more of a long-term investment. The initial implant placement is a relatively quick and pain-free process (although you may feel some discomfort that will quickly subside as you heal), taking just a couple of hours per implant. The time-consuming part is the 2-3 months it generally takes for the implant to bond to your jawbone. The whole process can take 3-9 months, from your initial free consultation to your examination, installing the implant and fitting the crown.
Composite bonding is one of the least invasive cosmetic dental treatments that exist for the purpose of fixing the existing shape of the colour of your tooth/teeth. If you are suffering from a loss of confidence due to chipping teeth, decayed teeth, discoloured teeth or any other imperfections and want to improve your smile, composite bonding will be considered by our cosmetic dentistry team at Ollie & Darsh. Composite bonding can also enhance the shape of your teeth for the long term.
As well as the obvious benefit of restoring confidence in your smile, there is a whole list of benefits that you’ll reap as a result of composite bonding. Composite bonding is really easy for our dentistry team to deliver and you’ll see excellent results more or less instantaneously. Treatment options are also more flexible than most other cosmetic dentistry treatments as you can choose from different materials such as resin or porcelain depending on your current issues.
There are several different reasons why you may be considering composite bonding. As we get older, teeth naturally deteriorate but that doesn’t mean there’s nothing we can do about it. For busy people, composite bonding may be the perfect option and better than alternatives such as clear braces. Those who don’t have the time to commit to longer treatment processes would arguably seek composite bonding. We offer an initial consultation process to discover the best treatment for you and your teeth.
Composite bonding treatments are very versatile which comes in handy when treating crooked teeth and filling in small gaps or chips between teeth. Composite bonding can be completed on a same-day service which is beneficial to patients that would rather not commit to longer-term treatments yet still achieve proven results. Tooth-colored composite material can also sometimes be used to re-shape teeth and make them appear straighter.
Initially, we will invite you into our dental clinic in Liverpool for a consultation where we will analyze the current condition of your teeth and issues that you want to improve. We will also conduct an assessment to make sure you are the right candidate for this type of dental treatment. If all is agreed to, we will then go ahead with the treatment at our facilities with the process streamlined so that all is completed in one visit.
With an effective dental hygiene routine, your implants should last a lifetime. It depends on how well you care for your implants and crowns. Regular brushing and flossing, combined with regular appointments with your dentist and hygienist, will keep your dental implants in perfect condition for decades. Remember that lifestyle choices, injuries and certain medical conditions can shorten the lifespan of your dental implants. It’s also worth noting that the average lifespan of a porcelain dental crown ranges between five to 15 years.
Most dental implants, consisting of a post that replaces the root of the missing tooth and an abutment that attaches to the implant for the crown to be fixed upon, are made of titanium. This is because titanium is a strong, light material that fuses well with bone. The crowns we use are typically made from hard-wearing porcelain.
