The loss of a tooth could be caused from many different reasons such as tooth decay, infection, gum disease, trauma, or removal of an impacted tooth.

​

What is an Implant?

​

Dental implants involve replacing the root of the tooth with a titanium post with a crown on top to replace your missing tooth. Specifically moulded to match the shape, shade and size of the tooth it’s replacing. 

 

It’s a straightforward process which can be completed under local anaesthetic. The implant will need three to six months to heal and integrate with your jaw bone to provide a solid support for your replacement tooth.

What advantages do dental implants offer?

​

Dental implants have been designed to make patients feel normal again and with advances in technology the success rates are extremely high. 

 

Dental implants: 

- make chewing easier

- help maintain your neighbouring teeth- no destructiveness to adjacent teeth like some bridges

- restore your smile

- make speech easier

- help to preserve the bone and gum tissues which shrink back after teeth are extracted

​

At Burnham Dental Practice, we’ve worked with many patients over a number of years to provide them with this very latest technique in dentistry.

​

​

 

It all starts with a consultation which includes a personalised detailed report where, in a patient-focused and clinical way, we’ll show you the benefits of dental implants, how they work, and give you an indication of pricing.

​

If required, a CT scan may be taken to help visualise and diagnose the jaws 3 dimensionally, to ensure there is enough bone to place the dental implants – This will also establish where your nerves and sinuses are.
