Dental Implants
Cosmetic solutions for missing teeth - implants
Many patients experience tooth loss – whether it be a single tooth that is lost or multiple teeth. New advances and technical innovations make it possible to replace missing single teeth permanently without treating or touching adjacent teeth, and the end result is that only you will know that you have ever lost a tooth.
People affected by tooth loss often find eating in public difficult and traumatic or are not confident about their smile. When teeth are lost your jawbone actually shrinks away, and from scientific research we know that wearing dentures accelerates this process. This in turn affects the muscle tone to the face, reducing bone support for the lips and cheeks and eventually leading to a typical denture look as immortalised by famous cartoons, where the lips and lower part of the face have collapsed producing an ageing effect on the individual's appearance.
Implant Success Rates:
Conventional implant success rates are 90-95%. That means that 1 in 10 in the upper jaw and 1 in 20 in the lower jaws. However, Paul Tipton and the team at The Centre for Advanced Dentistry have a wealth of experience with the dental implant treatment so you can be rest assured that you are in safe and experienced hands.
Patient Comments
“My existing bridge was failing due to an infection in my upper teeth; Dr Tipton suggested implants and bridgework and this suited me as I didn't want to have a denture. I found the process extremely thorough and I am extremely happy with the end result.”
