Dental Implants in Bristol: Your Trusted Implant Specialists

For individuals with a single missing tooth, a singular implant emerges as the optimal solution. Given the significance of frontal aesthetics, dental implants have garnered considerable preference among patients seeking to restore a missing tooth within their smile.

The procedure entails surgically implanting a single titanium implant into the bone. Following a period of healing, a meticulously crafted cosmetic crown is custom-made to seamlessly fit onto the implant, blending with nearby teeth to achieve a natural appearance.

Upon completion, the dental implant crown functions akin to a natural tooth, offering both the aesthetic appeal and functionality of one’s original dentition.

The presence of multiple missing teeth can create a substantial gap in the oral cavity, impeding eating, speech, and detracting from the aesthetics of one’s smile.

To address this, a series of dental implants can be strategically positioned to fill the void. This may involve a combination of singular implants paired with cosmetic crowns or a cosmetic bridge interlinking multiple implants. The precise number of implants necessary is contingent upon various factors, which we will thoroughly explore and discuss during your consultation.

The option of ‘all your teeth’ implants typically allows for a decision between a single jaw or both, depending entirely on your requirements, suitability, and personal preference.

For individuals missing all their teeth seeking an alternative to dentures, dental implants offer a promising solution. Unlike conventional dentures, which can cause discomfort and self-consciousness, dental implants provide a natural appearance and sensation akin to natural teeth.

Implants serve as a sturdy foundation for creating a new set of teeth, whether in the form of a denture or dental bridge. With implant-supported restorations, stability is significantly improved compared to standard dentures, reducing the likelihood of movement while eating or speaking.

Should you experience any difficulties associated with wearing dentures, including discomfort or instability affecting your ability to eat and speak comfortably, we provide a solution through the use of dental implants to firmly anchor your dentures. Typically, this involves the placement of two to four implants in the lower jaw and four implants in the upper jaw, establishing a secure foundation for stabilizing the denture. This configuration allows for convenient removal during cleaning while ensuring secure attachment as required. Implant-supported dentures offer superior comfort compared to traditional dentures, facilitating a more natural biting and chewing function.

In cases where teeth are lost due to accidents, it’s common for bone loss to accompany the tooth loss. In such instances, replacing the missing teeth may necessitate additional treatment to address the missing jawbone, often in the form of a bone graft.

This treatment requires meticulous planning to ensure a successful and durable outcome. At Bristol Dental Specialists, our team includes specialists from various dental disciplines who collaborate to coordinate and plan complex multidisciplinary cases effectively.
