 DENTAL IMPLANTS

A dental implant is a permanent solution for replacing missing teeth. Our dentist places them directly into your jawbone, where they provide an artificial replacement for the root of your missing tooth or teeth. They can even support crowns or dentures, in the same way that dental roots support natural teeth.

 
 

Dental implants offer a permanent solution for your missing teeth. A dental implant is essentially a substitute for a natural root and commonly it is screw or cylinder shaped. Each implant is placed into a socket carefully drilled at the precise location of the intended tooth.

If an implant has a screw-thread on its outer surface it can be screwed into position and if it does not, it is usually tapped into place. The main aim during installation of any implant is to achieve immediate close contact with the surrounding bone. This creates an initial stability, which over time is steadily enhanced by further growth of bone into microscopic roughnesses on the implant surface.

 

In order to support replacement teeth, dental implants normally have some form of internal screw thread or post space that allows a variety of components to be fitted. Once fitted, these components provide the foundation for long-term support of crowns, bridges or dentures. Click here for illustrated information.

MEET DR. JAMES BENNETT

 
 

Practice Principal

BDS Lpool 2001

GDC No. 80185

"Most patients I see are nervous, self-conscious of their teeth and think that nothing can be done. They're always surprised at the options available and how we can help them. Sometimes very little treatment can make such a dramatic change.

 

The most satisfying part of the job is not only seeing the difference in a person’s teeth, but the difference in the person; more confident, smiling and not worrying about coming to the dentist."

WHAT THE PROCEDURE 

INVOLVES

 

Depending on the nature of your smile makeover and the kind of treatment you require, you may be required to visit the practice on several occasions to give you the best possible result. After a consultation, your dentist will be able to offer you a treatment plan which will tell you more, before you decide to proceed with your treatment.

Discuss with our experienced dentist what makes you unhappy about your smile, and what you want to achieve.

 
 

We will discuss the various options available to you and will show you what to expect from various treatment options.

 
 
 
 

Once you've agreed on your treatment, we can then book you in to begin your treatment as soon as you're ready.
