What Are the Key Benefits of Dental Implants?
Dental implants have become an increasingly popular solution for those looking to restore their smiles and improve their dental health. These medical devices are surgically placed in the jaw to support artificial teeth, offering a permanent solution to missing teeth. We serve patients throughout Holbury and the surrounding areas across Hampshire. Maintaining good dental health is crucial, and dental implants play a vital role in preserving the integrity of your smile, preventing bone loss, and enhancing your overall quality of life.

Advantages of Dental Implants
Dental implants offer a range of benefits that make them a preferred choice for patients in Holbury. One of the primary advantages is improved oral health. Unlike traditional dentures, dental implants help maintain jawbone integrity, preventing the bone loss that often occurs when teeth are missing. This preservation of the jawbone not only supports facial structure but also contributes to better oral health overall.
In terms of aesthetics and confidence, dental implants provide a natural look and feel. They are designed to mimic the appearance of natural teeth, which can significantly boost your self-esteem. Knowing that your smile looks natural and feels comfortable can make a world of difference in your daily interactions.
Durability and longevity are other key benefits of dental implants. Unlike other dental solutions, implants are designed to last for many years, often a lifetime, with proper care. This long-lasting nature makes them a cost-effective solution in the long run, as they do not require frequent replacements.
Moreover, dental implants offer convenience and comfort. They eliminate the discomfort and inconvenience associated with removable dentures. With implants, you can enjoy your favourite foods without worry, and they require no special maintenance beyond regular brushing and flossing.

The Dental Implant Process
The journey to a new smile with dental implants begins with an initial consultation and assessment. Here at Forestside Dental in Holbury, this involves a thorough evaluation of your dental health and a detailed planning process to ensure the best outcomes. This step is crucial as it sets the foundation for a successful implant procedure.
The next phase is the surgical placement of the implant. This involves inserting a titanium post into the jawbone, which serves as the root for the artificial tooth. The procedure is typically performed under anaesthesia to ensure comfort, and post-operative care is provided to aid recovery.
Following the surgical placement is the osseointegration phase, where the implant fuses with the jawbone. This healing period is essential as it ensures the stability of the implant. It can take several months, but it is a critical step in ensuring the longevity and success of the implant.
The final steps involve the placement of the abutment and the custom crown. The abutment is attached to the implant, and the crown is then placed on top, completing the restoration. This results in a natural-looking tooth that functions just like a real one.

What is Involved in the Dental Implants Procedure?
Surgery Stage
The dental implant process begins with a 3D scan of your teeth, allowing us to plan the surgery. During the procedure, implants will be inserted into your jaw under local anaesthetic, so you won’t feel a thing. The entire process is quick and painless. Stitches will remain in place for 7-10 days after the procedure.
Integration Stage
After the surgery, you'll need to wait 3-6 months for the implant to fuse with the jawbone. During this healing period, we’ll provide you with a temporary tooth solution, ensuring you don’t have to worry about any gaps.
Prosthetic Stage
The most exciting part of the process! Once the implant has fully fused with the jawbone and healed, we’ll begin crafting your new smile. An impression of the area will be taken to create a custom tooth that fits perfectly. The prosthetic tooth is then securely attached to the dental implant in your jaw.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are these implants permanent?
They are, yes. In fusing with the bone in the root of the tooth over the space of several months, dental implants are a permanent procedure. However, for many, this is the exact reason they go for it! Through one procedure, you permanently change your smile for the better, falling back in love with how your teeth look. They are also stronger than any other implant, so you can rest assured in their durability!
Should I pick same day or dental implants?
Same day implants allow you to make a smile in one day. It is significantly quicker than other cosmetic procedures and for many, that is a selling point. Same day implants are also a temporary procedure – we often encourage a repeat appointment to have them made permanent with this dental implant service.
The decision as to what is best for you and your individual needs can be discussed during a consultation at our practice.
Do dental implants hurt?
We’ll provide you with a local anaesthesia to help prevent any discomfort during any stage of the procedure. However, if you’re feeling particularly nervous about the dental implant procedure, please raise it during your consultation. We can discuss the possibility of strong sedation or you bringing someone into the procedure for support!
Can dental implants be fitted to those with dentures?
They can. We offer the ‘All-on-Four’ service here at Forestside, whereby four implants are fitted to stabilise your existing dentures. This ensures that they no longer slip, so you can eat, drink, talk and laugh with total peace of mind. There is no bone graft required with this particular dental implant procedure, making it much quicker to complete the procedure as well.
Where are Forestside based?
Our state of the art practice is located in Dibden Purlieu. As a result, we are based on the outskirts of the stunning New Forest, and are only a stone’s throw away from Southampton. With this in mind, we regularly cater to dental implant requests from all the surrounding towns. We also have people travel from Winchester, Bournemouth and Portsmouth for our respected services.
