Dental Implants Bishops Stortford

Losing teeth can have a huge impact on your confidence and might also impact your wider health, particularly if it limits your food choices. Thankfully, there are restoration options available for those with one or more missing teeth. Dental implant treatment is one of the most innovative treatments available today. It uses a short screw placed in the jaw bone to act as an artificial root for a tooth.

The jaw bone heals around the screw, forming a permanent bond. We can then place a crown, bridge or full denture on the top of one or more implants. For patients who are tired of their dentures coming loose, this can be a huge relief, as it means you can have a fixed denture that is attached to the jawbone and not supported by the soft gum tissue. Treatment will typically take 3-6 months from start to finish, and we’ll be there to support you every step of the way.

One of the treatments that is growing in popularity is the All On 4 or Same Day Teeth treatment. This is a replacement for dentures that allows you to enjoy an implant supported denture that is placed in a single visit. With traditional dental implants, we have to place the implant vertically into the jaw bone, like a natural tooth root. This has to heal for around 3-4 months before we can place the final restoration. With Same Day Teeth, we can use longer implants placed at an angle to support a load bearing implant on the same day as treatment. This will drastically reduce treatment times and will allow you to wear your final denture as your implants heal. This could be the ideal choice for anyone looking for a full mouth restoration without the wait.
