This month we are highlighting our Implant treatments offered here in the practice. This means no travelling to another practice or being treated by an unfamiliar team; you have everything right here.
Here are a few of our most FAQ’s.
A Dental Implant is an artificial tooth that a Dentist places into your jawbone to hold a replacement tooth or bridge.
What can Implants do?
Any damaged tooth is removed, where necessary, where necessary, the jawbone is prepared (grafting). The implant is placed, and time allowed for bone growth and healing. Then finally the abutment is placed, and the artificial tooth is attached.
The implant needs to fuse with the jawbone to ensure long-term success. It takes around 4 months from the time of the implant being placed to the attachment of the artificial tooth.
This procedure, as any other oral surgical procedure, has some associated discomfort. However, most implant patients comment that they were surprised at how minimal and short the duration of discomfort was. There is generally no pain or discomfort in the long term.
The implant, and the artificial tooth itself, are 100% safe.
Dental Implants start from £2500. This varies from patient to patient dependent on individual treatment needed, this will be determined and reviewed directly with you. Our Treatment Co-ordinator and Dental Implant Surgeons will give you a clear break down of the costs before your treatment starts, so you know exactly what you are paying and why.
