What are dental implants?
Dental implants are a long-term solution for people who have lost teeth as a result of poor oral hygiene, decay or damage. The implant is composed of titanium and is able to replace the root portion of the missing tooth, which is done by inserting the implant into a pre-drilled socket in the jaw bone. Healing time for implants will normally be between 3 to 6 months, after which a new restoration tooth can be attached. The result is a brand new, natural-looking and functional smile. Dental implants can be used to support crowns and bridges, and they are also used to effectively anchor dentures.
Why are dental implants so impressive?
In the past, if you lost a tooth your choices were either leaving an unpleasant tooth gap or having a dental bridge or dentures. Now you can choose the option of dental implants, which work in exactly the same way as natural teeth. Dental implants are able to provide excellent functionality and the titanium material will not cause any unwanted damage or irritation to the gum tissue. Implants also help to reduce bone loss and when fitted to new restorations can create a natural-looking and attractive result.
Dental implants are also a long-term solution - if they are well maintained they should last for several decades.
How many implants will I need?
The number of dental implants you need will depend on the number of missing teeth. A single implant is usually used to support a single crown, while multiple implants can be used to support a dental bridge, a number of individual crowns or a set of dentures. Implant Clinic will be able to take care of your single and multiple dental implant requirements, and are happy to treat patients who have previously been told they cannot have dental implants.
Implant Clinic also offers All-on-4 dental implants (Teeth in a Day). This is an innovative system that is able to provide optimum stability for a complete set of teeth with only four implants. This is achievable due to the angles in which the implants are placed. For more information about the All-on-4 system click here.
How much do dental implants cost?
The cost of dental implant treatment varies according to the number and type of implants you require. Our prices start from £1850.00 for one implant supporting one crown and £5995.00 for Teeth in a Day. Our team will be happy to provide all the necessary information relating to your case during a free initial consultation.
