If you have lost teeth through gum disease, tooth decay or accident, then there are a number of ways of replacing the missing teeth. Traditional methods of treatment such as dentures and bridges can provide a cost effective means of replacing the teeth and each has its own advantages and disadvantages.

Dental implants provide a permanent replacement for missing teeth. A small titanium screw is inserted into your jaw bone under local anaesthetic; in the weeks immediately following the procedure, it knits painlessly with the bone forming a secure foundation for new natural looking teeth. Either a single or, if necessary, several implants can be used to support:

• A crown, either screwed or cemented to the implant
• A bridge, either screwed or cemented to the implant(s)
• A denture which securely clips to the implants but is removable for cleaning

Dental implants have a number of advantages over traditional dental restorations:

• They look, feel and function like natural teeth
• They are a stable foundation for crowns, bridges and dentures
• Adjacent healthy teeth do not need to be cut down
• They can help prevent bone loss, maintaining facial features
• Implant supported dentures, unlike traditional dentures, have no palate and therefore have a positive effect on speech and taste
• Dental implants are a permanent tooth replacement.

Dental implants are a safe and tried & tested treatment suitable for a wide range of patients and, although they are more expensive than other treatments, we are able to provide a range of credit facilities (subject to status, written details available on request) to help spread the cost.
