Dental Implants in Norfolk - Solutions for missing teeth
Dental Implants are one way of replacing missing teeth
and restoring your smile. Without an implant the only way to restore a
missing tooth is to either have a denture (which
is removable) or a
bridge (which involves cutting down the tooth each side), often neither of
these options are desired by the patient and a dental implant become the
logical choice.
In the long term they are generally more cost effective, easier to maintain and look better than any other option.
If you have more than one tooth missing we can also use dental tooth
implants to restore larger gaps or even to hold dentures in to make them
more stable.
Dental implants will restore your smile and help you eat, chew and smile again with the confidence of great and natural looking teeth.
More about dental implants in Kings Lynn, Norfolk
A dental implant in our Kings Lynn Dental Practice is a titanium post which is planted in the jaw bone to support a replacement tooth. This acts like the root of a natural tooth. Tooth Implants can also be used to support fixed bridges or dentures. Implant treatment normally has two stages. First, the implant is placed in the jaw. Then, when the jaw has healed, replacement teeth are attached to the implant. In some situations it is possible for temporary teeth to be attached to an implant at the time of fitting.
Only by having a full clinical assessment are we able to tell if implants are suitable for you - varying amounts of bone, plus the size of the space are factors that dictate how many, where and whether we are able to place implants for you.
