Treatment Overview
-
Duration From 4 Months
Dental implants are fitted in-house at The London Smile Clinic by our Implantologist. Missing teeth often lose some of the surrounding soft tissue and bone. If this is a significant amount, soft tissue and/or bone grafting may also be required either at the same time as implant placement or beforehand. Grafting procedures are also carried out in-house at The London Smile Clinic by our implant specialists.
The big advantage of a single tooth implant over a bridge is that it can replace the tooth without interfering with teeth on either side, unlike a bridge. Bridge teeth are joined together, and floss cannot be passed between like natural teeth or implant crowns.
Suppose multiple teeth are missing. Then, very often, there are not enough teeth to provide long-term support to bridges anyway. Implants are, therefore, essential to support multiple implant crowns or implant-supported bridges.
If most or all of the teeth are missing, then implant-supported dentures may be an option. For full denture wearers, retention is often a big problem as bone support recedes. Even the best-fitting dentures can feel loose. A full upper denture also requires a large area over the palate to obtain suction, which can interfere with taste and the enjoyment of food. Implant-supported dentures, on the other hand, are firmly clipped in and do not require the palate to be covered for suction.
Dental implants are incorporated with other treatments such as crowns, bridges and veneers as part of full smile makeovers or full mouth reconstructions following the same processes of a smile design.
