Tooth implants in essex

Whatever the reason for losing teeth, implants are now becoming the preferred option to replace missing teeth. Teeth may need to be replaced for cosmetic or functional reasons and implants provide a fantastic long term solution.

Dental implants are a proven method for replacing missing teeth, involving what is relatively minor surgery.

Implants consist of an artificial root made of titanium which is gently placed into the jaw bone. The procedure is most often carried out under local anaesthesia, but sedation can be used if you are anxious about treatment. We also offer relaxation techniques to assist you.

When the implant has integrated into the bone it can then be used to support a crown, bridge or a denture, thus a lifelong stable solution for missing teeth.

The benefits of having dental implants are numerous. The placement of an implant into the area where a tooth has been lost will slow down bone loss, teeth cleaning can remain as normal and, when done under the guidance of an experienced professional, will provide natural and functional results.

Dental implants can also be used to provide support for dentures, a treatment option the team at Start-Smiling will be happy to discuss with you.
