Dental Implants London

A dental implant is a small titanium screw that is placed into the tooth supporting a crown, bridge or perhaps a special custom-made denture. If you have a gap in yoursmile, dental implants are be the dental treatment you need to restore your confidence and your smile.

Am I suitable for Dental Implants? 

The common answer is yes, but this depends on your particular case, the structure of your jaw bone and whether this is the best treatment for your case. Our London Implant Dentist will assess your case during a free consultation to ensure that you are a good candidate for a dental implant.

What kind of implants do you do?

There are several forms of implant treatment available at Drury Lane Dental Care, which vary according to whether you have lost a single tooth, several teeth, or all your teeth.

Many implant procedures involve a bone graft: this is a commonly performed technique in which the dentist adds extra bone to build up a narrow or thin jawbone as your jawbone needs to be deep and wide enough to hold an implant in place.

In order to provide a solid foundation for the implant the dentist will carry out a bone graft to restore any bone loss. If the bone loss is in the upper jaw or maxillary then he or she may perform a sinus lift.

Root Form Implants

Endosteal or Endosseous implants are a type of implant that involve the insertion of the implant directly into the jawbone. This is the most popular type of implant and comes in two forms: cylinder and screw. These implants can hold a single tooth or several artificial teeth. They are an ideal choice for those patients who have removable dentures or a bridge.

Plate Form Implants

For these type of implants we will insert  a narrow metal plate jawbone. Your dentist will expose the area of your jawbone for treatment before preparing the bone to receive the implant. The implants are inserted and the incisions closed with tiny stitches. Once the area has healed and the metal plate has fussed to the bone, we will proceed to place your dental implant.
