Dental Implants Preston - The Freedom You Deserve

Dental implants are today’s utmost substitute to natural teeth. They can be your doorway to a transformed new self-confidence and peace of mind. An implant is, essentially, a sophisticated titanium screw which is placed into the jaw bone to replace the root of a lost natural tooth. The implant fuses with the jaw bone to form a secure foundation for tooth replacement. The end result ... replacement teeth that look, feel and function just like natural teeth. 

The embarrassment, irritation and self-consciousness often experienced by people who have missing teeth, those who wear dentures or who have suffered through older methods of tooth replacement, are overcome with the confidence of permanently anchored dental implants.

Dental implants are now recognised as routine treatment for a full range of problems from replacing a single tooth, to full oral rehabilitation. Recent advances in medical and dental technology have led to expanded areas of clinical practice never before thought possible only a short time ago. With such advances adding to one of the most researched and successful treatment modalities in dentistry to date, dental implants are today considered the standard of care for many oral conditions, and the best alternative to natural teeth or dentures.

Full mouth rehabilitation with tooth implants or implant dentures have become a routine procedure in our dental practice. We focus on providing high standards of care by addressing individual patient needs with an emphasis on cost-effective, accessible, predictable and less traumatic procedures, to ensure that our patients can smile and function with confidence

The future is here ... it is now possible to have functional and cosmetic dentistry teeth implants in one treatment session, with the benefits of immediate function, shortened treatment time, better clinical efficiency and less trauma to the patient. Revolutionary new technology, from Sweden, enables the transformation of a patient’s X-rays into a 3-Dimensional digitised model. This allows the surgeon to pre-plan the operation and place the implants safely and accurately using a computer generated lithographic surgical stent. In many cases, the same digitalised model can be used to fabricate the actual teeth to be fitted at the same time as the implant surgery. That’s right ... AT THE SAME TIME! 

Traditionally, the procedure has been performed in two steps. The dentist began by installing the implants, which were left for three to six months to heal and integrate with the jawbone. During the healing period, the patient was given a temporary denture until the permanent teeth could be put in place at the next stage.

Today, modern implant design and state-of-the-art surgical techniques allow most patients to have fixed teeth fitted within a few days from the surgery. A detailed work-up is done before the surgery to design your smile. A small percentage of patients may need to improve the volume or quality of their bone with bone grafting prior to the placement of implants in a staged approach. After the implants are placed, teeth are set in wax in Madame Tussaud’s style, and tried in your mouth for aesthetic fine-tuning. You get to approve your teeth before we finish.
