“Rediscover your beautiful smile”

Dental implants are one of the most popular modern methods of replacing a missing tooth or teeth. A titanium post is securely fitted and fused into the bone in place of the tooth root with an abutment over which a crown, bridge or denture is placed. Here in Altrincham we offer both single and multiple dental implants.

Our in-house implantologist will fit your new dental implants at our Altrincham clinic. But before carrying out any reconstructive work, we’ll examine your teeth, gums and jaw in detail to check that none of the surrounding soft tissue or bone is missing.

If it is, then some soft tissue and/or bone grafting may be required which will be carried out at the same time as the dental implant – or beforehand. And of course, any invasive dental work is carried out using the latest pain-free anaesthetic techniques so you shouldn’t feel any discomfort or pain.

Single tooth implant.

Unlike a bridge, the advantage of a single tooth implant is that it doesn’t impact the teeth on either side. Also unlike bridges, your teeth remain separate from each other allowing you to continue to floss your teeth as you do now.

Multiple tooth implants.

Many people opt for tooth implants where too many teeth are missing for a bridge to be successfully attached. Bridges need to be supported by surrounding teeth, so where teeth are missing altogether our Altrincham dentists may recommend multiple tooth implants. These implants will then provide sufficient, secure support for crowns or bridges.

Another option, especially where most or all of the teeth are missing, are supported dentures. Many people opt for these instead of conventional dentures because they simply clip into place firmly, don’t feel lose, make it easier to eat and don’t require the palate to be covered for suction.

A dental implant as part of your smile makeover.

If you are considering a complete smile makeover or full mouth reconstruction, dental implants can be an excellent foundation for other treatments such as crowns, bridges and veneers.

This is something your dentist can discuss with you when you visit our Altrincham clinic for your first appointment or assessment.

Will it be painful?

All dental implant treatments are carried out using state-of-the-art pain-free anaesthetics. During treatment you can relax and watch DVDs with our DVD goggle in-chair entertainment system or listen to your choice of music.
