Dental implants at Bristol Dental Specialists

For many patients, the best way of replacing missing teeth is with one or more dental implants. They are a great alternative to sometimes uncomfortable dentures or bridgework.

A dental implant enables us to provide the most natural replacement for missing tooth. A dental implant will feel secure and does not involve preparation of the adjacent teeth, which is necessary when a conventional bridge is used to replace the missing teeth.

When you lose a tooth, there is also a loss of bone which had previously held the tooth root in position. One of the further advantages of dental implants is that they will preserve your jawbone by making it functional again.

DENTAL IMPLANT TREATMENT OPTIONS

A dental implant is a small, extremely bio-compatible titanium screw which forms a very strong bone the union when inserted into the human jawbone. We have been using the current type of dental implants are 30 to 40 years with great success. Dental implants can be used to support individual teeth (crowns), a number of teeth in the form of a bridge or they can be used to help support and retain a removable bridge (a precision retained denture).

Single tooth implants

If you have a single missing tooth, a single implant is the best solution for you. Appearance at the front of the mouth is important for many of us and dental implants have become first choice for many patients missing a tooth from their smile!

A single titanium implant is placed into the bone and once healed, a custom made cosmetic crown is made to fit onto the implant and match nearby teeth to look natural.

The dental implant crown will function, look and feel just like your own tooth.

Multiple teeth implants

The presence of multiple missing teeth can create a substantial gap in the oral cavity, impeding eating, speech, and detracting from the aesthetics of one’s smile.

To address this, a series of dental implants can be strategically positioned to fill the void. This may involve a combination of singular implants paired with cosmetic crowns or a cosmetic bridge interlinking multiple implants. The precise number of implants necessary is contingent upon various factors, which we will thoroughly explore and discuss during your consultation.

All your teeth implants

The option of ‘all your teeth’ implants typically allows for a decision between a single jaw or both, depending entirely on your requirements, suitability, and personal preference.

For individuals missing all their teeth seeking an alternative to dentures, dental implants offer a promising solution. Unlike conventional dentures, which can cause discomfort and self-consciousness, dental implants provide a natural appearance and sensation akin to natural teeth.

Implants serve as a sturdy foundation for creating a new set of teeth, whether in the form of a denture or dental bridge. With implant-supported restorations, stability is significantly improved compared to standard dentures, reducing the likelihood of movement while eating or speaking.

Denture stabilisation implants

Should you experience any difficulties associated with wearing dentures, including discomfort or instability affecting your ability to eat and speak comfortably, we provide a solution through the use of dental implants to firmly anchor your dentures. Typically, this involves the placement of two to four implants in the lower jaw and four implants in the upper jaw, establishing a secure foundation for stabilizing the denture. This configuration allows for convenient removal during cleaning while ensuring secure attachment as required. Implant-supported dentures offer superior comfort compared to traditional dentures, facilitating a more natural biting and chewing function.

Implants after an accident

In cases where teeth are lost due to accidents, it’s common for bone loss to accompany the tooth loss. In such instances, replacing the missing teeth may necessitate additional treatment to address the missing jawbone, often in the form of a bone graft.

This treatment requires meticulous planning to ensure a successful and durable outcome. At Bristol Dental Specialists, our team includes specialists from various dental disciplines who collaborate to coordinate and plan complex multidisciplinary cases effectively.

Dental implants benefits

The loss of one or more teeth can have a terrible effect on your confidence as well as your ability to eat comfortably and speak normally.

A missing front tooth has a dramatic effect on the appearance whilst missing one or two of the back teeth can lead to problems with chewing and normal function. Where missing teeth were traditionally replaced using partial dentures or bridgework, both these methods generally have a negative effect on the adjacent teeth and gums. One of the many advantages of a dental implant is that it does not rely on the adjacent teeth for support, it is an entirely stand-alone option.

Further benefits of one or more dental implants include how they are long-lasting, reliable and therefore a very cost-effective solution for missing teeth.
