If you’re faced with the loss of a tooth or a full arch of teeth, it can be devastating. We take our teeth for granted, and we often don’t realise how important they are until they’re gone.

​

In the past, losing teeth could mean your only option would be to wear dentures, but thankfully not anymore. Dental Implants have revolutionised the world of dental prosthetics, allowing you to replace one or all of your teeth and secure them using implants.

The Implant procedure at Jorvik Dental Practice in York

What to expect from treatment with our dentist Mrs.Tris Harrison 

 

​You'll start your implant journey in consultation with Mrs.Tris Harrison 

​

Tris is an experienced Dental Implant Surgeon. She has worked with consultants and trained extensively. Tris's philosophy is to deliver care in a relaxing and happy environment, where her patients have their long-term dental health needs met and achieve happy, healthy smiles.

​

At the start, Tris will examine your mouth, and take dental x-rays, clinical photographs, and an intra-oral digital scan of your teeth to assess your suitability and options for implant treatment. Tris will also discuss the potential costs and payment plans available to you.

 

Tris will arrange a dental cone beam computerised tomography (CT) scan, usually referred to as a CBCT scan. This is a quick and painless assessment. The scan creates 3D images of your jaws and teeth. It does this using X-rays and information on a computer. The CBCT image is used to assess your bone and to plan your implant placement in the correct position.

 

Tris will then create a bespoke treatment plan and review this plan with you. Once you’re happy to proceed, we’ll book you in for your treatment.

​

During your treatment, Tris will remove any teeth that need to come out before placing your implants. Our carefully selected dental technicians will create a temporary set of teeth as needed. 

​

A few months later, our technicians will have crafted a beautiful implant restoration that Tris will fit once Tris is happy that your implants have healed to your bone correctly.

​

Tris takes pride in ensuring your long-term implant health maintenance and schedules regular review examinations and hygiene appointments with her and our expert hygiene therapy team to help you maintain a lasting smile.
