Dental Implants Amersham

Dental implants can replace a single tooth or several missing teeth. They are a durable replacement for the tooth root of your missing tooth.

An implant is typically made from a durable material such as titanium and is surgically inserted into your jawbone. After healing, an artificial tooth such as a crown or denture can be affixed to the top.

If you have a few teeth missing, one or more implants can be used to support a dental bridge which is essentially a row of false teeth.

Depending on your circumstances, there are several different options for implant dentistry, but the procedure of fitting an implant will be the same.

We use a 3D cone beam CT scanner to plan your dental implant treatment. This technique ensures the accuracy of implant placement and reduces any risk of error.

The CBCT scan will also tell us if you have enough bone for the dental implant treatment to work. If you do not, we can offer a bone graft to build the bone mass before implant treatment.

Single Tooth Implants Amersham 

A single-tooth implant will involve placing the dental implant into the bone where your missing tooth root once was. After several weeks or months of healing, a single replacement tooth can be fixed to the top.

Multiple Dental Implants Amersham 

If you have a row of missing teeth, we can strategically place as few implants as possible and fix a row of artificial teeth to the top, once the dental implant has fused with the bone.

Dental implants at our Buckinghamshire clinic are a cosmetic dentistry treatment and are not compulsory. Many people choose to live with gaps in their teeth, especially if the tooth loss is in an area that is not very visible.

However, we see a number of Amersham patients who regret not replacing gaps in their smile, not only for aesthetic reasons but because tooth loss can lead to other problems later down the line.

These include further bone deterioration which can affect the facial structure and may lead to gum or periodontal disease. Some people also choose to wear dentures instead of opting for a dental implant but might find dentures uncomfortable and inconvenient.

Unlike dentures, implants are not to be removed and should be taken care of the same way you would for your natural teeth.
