Dental Implants East London

Dental implants offer a second chance to patients following tooth loss. Whether you are missing a single tooth or a full arch, dental implants allow you to enjoy a complete restoration that will look, feel and function like natural teeth. This incredible transformation is achieved by placing a small titanium screw into the jaw where it fuses with the bone. This provides a solid anchor for a tooth restoration that functions just like a natural tooth root. A single implant could support a crown to close a gap in your smile, or you could use multiple implants to support a bridge or a full-arch restoration. This treatment is designed to last a lifetime, as the implant should never need to be replaced when cared for correctly.

Alongside single tooth restorations, it’s also possible to achieve a full arch restoration in a much shorter time using a procedure known as All On 4, or Same Day Teeth. Rather than using shorter implants that are placed directly into the jaw, All On 4 uses longer implants that are placed in the jaw at a 45 degree angle. This allows for immediate placement of a load-bearing implant, allowing the patient to enjoy a same-day restoration. This treatment plan can transform the lives of those living with edentulism, or complete tooth loss. Patients are able to feel confident in their smile again, without relying on poorly-fitting dentures. It also puts all foods back on the menu, including notoriously difficult foods such as raw vegetables and crusty bread. The facial shape can also be maintained, as the jaw bone will once again be engaged to support the force of the bite. This helps to avoid the characteristic sunken appearance that impacts patients with tooth loss.
