Missing, broken, or worn-down teeth can be successfully replaced with dental implants. Dental implants have become one of the most dependable options available in Woodsmoor to restore patients’ ability to function with a renewed sense of confidence in their appearance. Dental implants feel secure, look like natural teeth and, with good care, can last a lifetime. The advanced techniques and materials of modern dental implantology let you regain your confidence and enjoy the protection of restored oral health.
Implants are usually suggested when a tooth has been lost or is beyond repair due to serious decay. They can also be a treatment for aesthetic problems which have occurred from previous dental issues, such as discolouration. As they act as a replacement root, they are also a good way of retaining the density of the jawbone to prevent adjacent teeth from drifting out of place and to ensure the teeth are in a position which provides a balanced bite, which in turn can reduce jaw discomfort and future dental issues.
Implants are sometimes used as a better alternative to dentures for either single tooth, multiple teeth, or full arch replacements, as they are more stable and feel more natural.
Dental implant treatment can often be completed in a few months. Your dentist will take accurate measurements to make sure your replacement tooth fits properly. The titanium screw is placed into the jawbone at your next appointment with just local anaesthetic or sedation. Once the bone has grown tightly around the implant, a custom crown is added to complete the work.
Our Woodsmoor dental implant team prides itself on providing a modern, safe and comfortable environment. Keeping up with the latest training and technology means our dentists can offer the best results. We know some patients have concerns about their treatment, which is why we ensure appointments are calm, friendly and fully supported from the initial consultation through to follow-up.
Most implants in use today are made of pure titanium, which is both a hard material and biocompatible. The most common type of implant is endosteal, which is placed directly into the jawbone. Subperiosteal implants rest under the gum but on, or above, the bone. They are used for patients who do not have enough bone height in the jaw and cannot, or do not want to, undergo a procedure to rebuild it. If the upper jaw is not able to support regular implants, implants fitted into the cheekbone may be an alternative.
Prices generally start around £1,800, depending on the number of implants and treatment type. Many patients consider it a long-term investment in both oral health and confidence. Flexible payment plans may also be available.
