If you are researching dental implants and gum health in Kingston upon Thames, Thames Street Dental can assess your mouth and explain whether implant treatment, hygiene care or another restorative option may be suitable.
Implant suitability depends on your oral health, bone levels, gum condition and treatment goals.
Before implant treatment is discussed in detail, your dentist needs to understand your gum health, bone support, missing teeth, medical history, bite and how well you can clean around teeth or restorations.
These pages help you understand the treatment and maintenance options that may sit around implant planning.
Assessment and planning for replacing missing teeth with dental implants where suitable.
Professional cleaning and home-care advice to support gum health before and after wider dental treatment.
A hygiene option that may help remove biofilm and staining around suitable teeth and restorations.
Crowns may restore existing teeth or form part of some implant replacement plans.
A bridge may be one option for replacing a missing tooth after clinical assessment.
Dentures may be discussed when one or more missing teeth need replacement.
Your dentist may assess gum condition, tooth stability, bite, missing tooth spaces, jawbone support, medical history and current cleaning routine. X-rays or further imaging may be discussed if implant treatment could be suitable.
If implants are not the right route, alternatives such as bridges, dentures, crowns, hygiene care or monitoring may be discussed.
Contact Thames Street Dental if you are considering implants or want to understand whether gum health, hygiene care or another tooth replacement option should come first.
