Benefits of dental implants with Neo Orthodontics in Alnwick
What are dental implants?
Dental implants are titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone to replace missing tooth roots. Once the implant integrates with your bone (a process called osseointegration), it provides a stable foundation for a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture.
Unlike traditional dentures or bridges, dental implants are a permanent solution that doesn't rely on adjacent teeth for support. The titanium post acts as an artificial root, stimulating the jawbone and preventing the bone loss that naturally occurs after tooth loss.
Each dental implant consists of three parts: the titanium implant post that's placed in the bone, an abutment that connects to the implant, and the final restoration (crown, bridge, or denture) that replaces your visible tooth.
At Neo Orthodontics, we use advanced techniques and high-quality materials to ensure your dental implants provide natural-looking results that last for decades.
How do dental implants work in Alnwick?
Getting dental implants involves a carefully planned process that typically takes several months to complete. At Neo Orthodontics, we begin with a comprehensive consultation using our advanced iTero 3D scanner to assess your bone structure and plan your treatment precisely. If sufficient bone is present, we surgically place the titanium implant into your jawbone under local anaesthetic. The implant then heals and integrates with your bone over 3-6 months, creating a stable foundation. Once healing is complete, we attach an abutment and take impressions for your custom crown, which is carefully crafted to match your natural teeth in colour, shape, and size. Our approach ensures optimal results with minimal discomfort throughout the process.

Your dental implant journey at Neo Orthodontics
Here's what to expect during your dental implant treatment with us:
Comprehensive consultation
Your journey begins with a thorough examination using our iTero 3D scanner. We'll assess your oral health, bone density, and discuss your treatment goals. We'll explain the entire process and provide you with a detailed treatment plan.
Treatment planning
We'll create a precise surgical plan tailored to your unique anatomy. If additional procedures like bone grafting are needed, we'll discuss these options to ensure the best possible outcome for your implants.
Implant placement
Under local anaesthetic, we carefully place the titanium implant into your jawbone. This procedure is typically comfortable, with most patients experiencing minimal discomfort. We'll provide detailed aftercare instructions to support optimal healing.
Healing period
Over the next 3-6 months, your implant will integrate with your jawbone through osseointegration. During this time, you can wear a temporary restoration to maintain your appearance and function.
Abutment placement
Once integration is complete, we attach a small connector piece called an abutment to your implant. This will support your final restoration and may require a minor follow-up procedure.
Final restoration
We take precise impressions to create your custom crown, which is carefully crafted to match your natural teeth. Once fitted, your implant will function exactly like a natural tooth.
Ongoing care
Regular check-ups ensure your implant remains healthy and functional for years to come. With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime.

Frequently asked questions about dental hygiene in Alnwick and Northumberland
With proper care and maintenance, dental implants can last a lifetime. The titanium implant itself is designed to be permanent, while the crown on top may need replacement after 15-20 years due to normal wear. This makes implants one of the most cost-effective long-term solutions for missing teeth.
Most patients are surprised by how comfortable the implant procedure is. We use local anaesthetic to ensure you feel no pain during placement, and most people report less discomfort than having a tooth extracted. Any post-operative discomfort is typically mild and easily managed with over-the-counter pain relief.
Caring for implants is just like caring for natural teeth. Brush twice daily with fluoride toothpaste, floss regularly, and attend routine check-ups and cleanings. Unlike dentures, there's no need for special soaking solutions or adhesives - just maintain good oral hygiene habits.
Dental implants have a success rate of over 95% when placed by experienced practitioners. Success depends on factors like bone quality, oral hygiene, and following post-operative care instructions. At Neo Orthodontics, we use advanced planning techniques to maximise the chances of successful treatment.
Without replacement, the bone in your jaw begins to deteriorate, which can change your facial structure and make future tooth replacement more difficult. Adjacent teeth may shift into the gap, causing bite problems and increased risk of decay and gum disease. Dental implants prevent these complications by maintaining bone structure and supporting your remaining teeth.
