Unlike dentures, which are a removable treatment, dental implants are surgically inserted into the jawbone and become a permanent part of your body. They truly are one of the most significant and life-changing developments in modern dentistry to date.
Once we have established that you have sufficient jawbone to go ahead with treatment, we can surgically place the implant into your jawbone, leaving it to fuse over a period of months. Implants are made from titanium, a material that’s highly biocompatible with your body. After around 3- 6 months, we will invite you back to the practice to have your restoration (crown) fitted over the top, providing function and aesthetic to your implant.
If you have multiple missing teeth, we can provide an extremely stable and functional solution, replacing a full arch of ten to twelve teeth by firmly securing them to just five or six implants. It is also possible to have implant supported dentures and both these techniques help patients discover a renewed confidence.
Full arch implant cases can often be more complex but, rest assured, Dr Wilson has performed many multiple implant procedures with excellent, long-lasting results.
