Derby Dental Implants Dentist
Dental Implants are threaded 'roots' of surgically pure titanium which are inserted into the jaw to replace missing teeth and help provide support for individual crowns, bridges or for the stabilisation of loose dentures.
Dental Implants rely on the fact that titanium has the ability to integrate with bone without rejection.
Once a dental implant has integrated, which normally take 3-6 months, the final crown or denture can be fitted.
As a treatment option, dental implants have been in use for over 40 years, and have proved to be clinically successful.
Dental Implants can form an important part of a tailored cosmetic dentistry treatment plan for patients who need to consider the replacement of missing teeth but prefer not to have to wear a denture.
Most people are suitable patients for dental implants provided they are in good health, and have adequate bone. Even in levels where there inadequate bone levels, grafting procedures using bone or bone substitutes can be utilised to provide suitable support for dental implants.
