Where one or more teeth are missing completely, dental implants may be the answer. Implants are small devices which are, in effect, false tooth roots. Made of titanium metal, they are placed carefully into the jaw bone and left in place until they bond with the bone. This creates a comfortable, strong and permanent anchor for a replacement tooth or denture.
Our Stradbrook Dental Clinic implant team are extremely well qualified and highly experienced, and are also able to handle more complex implant cases. If you have any questions or would like to know more, please ask our professional dental team based in Tonbridge, Kent.
An implant is a great choice for a single missing tooth, whether it’s visible or not, and the results can be life-changing. A single implant provides the foundation for a crown, which will be created at Stradbrook Dental & Implant Clinic to match your teeth exactly.
If you’re missing more than one tooth, there are a number of options available to you at Stradbrook Dental & Implant Clinic. In some cases a single implant can support two replacement teeth, or two implants can support a fixed bridge if you have several missing teeth. A bridge is a long-lasting, natural-looking solution which will help preserve the health of the rest of your teeth and jaw.
Same Day Teeth is a process at Stradbrook Dental & Implant Clinic where patients can have implants placed and fully functioning teeth attached in the space of one day. With the latest technological advances, it is possible to remove a tooth and place an implant immediately into the extraction socket.
Dentures can be uncomfortable, irritating and embarrassing. With advances in Implant Dentistry, Stradbrook Dental & Implant Clinic now offer innovative techniques for denture stabilisation, ensuring they are comfortable and will not slip.
If you have had missing teeth for a while then loss of bone in your jaw or bone atrophy is the body’s normal response to tooth loss, infection, gum disease of other trauma. This may mean you need some treatment before the Implant can be placed. The team here at Stradbrook Dental & Implant Clinic will advise you of this.
