Understanding Dental Implants at Space Dental Wakefield: What Are They and How Do They Work?
Dental implants have transformed modern dentistry, offering a reliable and permanent solution for missing teeth. Whether you’ve lost a tooth due to injury, decay, or disease, dental implants can restore your smile and confidence. But what exactly are dental implants, and how do they work? In this comprehensive guide, we’ll delve into the intricacies of dental implants, exploring our components, the procedure, and the remarkable benefits we offer to patients in Wakefield.
Elements to dental implants
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots, typically made of titanium, that provide a strong foundation for fixed or removable replacement teeth. The key components of a dental implant include:
- Implant Screw: The titanium post that is surgically placed into the jawbone.
- Abutment: A connector placed on top of the implant screw to hold and support a tooth crown.
- Crown: The visible part of the implant, custom-made to match your natural teeth.
Procedure Overview
The dental implant process involves several stages:
- Initial Consultation at Space Dental Wakefield: Your dentist in Wakefield will evaluate your oral health, take X-rays, and create a treatment plan tailored to your needs.
- Surgical Placement: At Space Dental Wakefield, the implant screw is inserted into the jawbone under local anaesthesia. This procedure is usually performed by an oral surgeon or periodontist.
- Osseointegration: Over the next few months, the implant fuses with the jawbone in a process called osseointegration, creating a stable foundation.
- Abutment Placement: Once osseointegration is complete, an abutment is attached to the implant.
- Final Restoration: A custom-made crown is then affixed to the abutment, completing the restoration.

The process starts with you coming in for a consultation, during which our clinicians will carry out a full oral health examination and also talk the results that you’re looking to achieve. This will establish whether having Teeth in a Day dental implants in Wakefield is the right choice, or if there are alternative treatments which may be better suited. Once it has been decided that Teeth in a Day is the right treatment for you, we can book your appointment.
On the day of your treatment, local anaesthetic will be administered, any teeth that need to be removed will be and the implants will be placed into the jaw. It takes time for these to fuse properly to the jawbone, so in the meantime, we place temporary teeth to the implants and cover them with composite bonding, so you leave with a full smile the same day.
After 8 weeks, you will come back to the clinic and we will remove the temporary teeth and replace them with your custom-made ones, as well as check that the dental implants have set as they should. The results will then last up to 30 years!

Having Teeth in a Day dental implants in Wakefield isn’t painful, as a local anaesthetic is always administered before any treatment begins. You may experience some discomfort and swelling for a few days following treatment, however, this pain can be managed with pain killers and will subside within days.
The full process of having Teeth in a Day dental implants in Wakefield, between your initial consultation and your permanent treatment is complete, is around 8 weeks, although this can differ depending on the individual case. During this time, you will have your initial consultation, followed by your appointment to fit the implants and temporary teeth, then finally you’ll come back for one more appointment where your permanent teeth will be fitted. The reason the process is long is that the implants need time to set in the jaw properly before the permanent teeth can be fitted. However, after your appointment where the implants are initially placed, you will have a full smile thanks to the temporary teeth.
