Single Dental Implants

If you are missing a single tooth, a tooth implant and a crown can replace it. A single dental implant replaces both the lost natural tooth and its root. Single dental implant is the ideal option for people in good general oral health who have lost a tooth or teeth due to periodontal disease, an injury, or some other reason. Under proper conditions, and with diligent patient maintenance, a tooth implant can last a lifetime. these implants are intimately connected with the gum tissues and underlying bone in the mouth.

Dental Implants Planning – Cone Beam 3D X-Ray Technology

CT scans coupled with state of the art 3D software signifies a remarkable leap forward in Dental Implant treatment planning. Prior to this combination, implants had to be planned with a 2-dimensional x-ray, leaving out the most important factors in both the predictability (bone density and bone width) and safety (3D relationship of the implants and nerves).

Now, with the exciting Cone Beam technology, a quick 7 seconds scan is immediately available for viewing the anatomy in true 3D, allowing us to do “virtual surgery” on your jaw, placing the correct size implant into the ideal location for you. With older, less precise imaging modalities, it is not uncommon to have unexpected changes due to bone grafts or sinus grafts, or poor aesthetic outcomes due to less than ideal placement.

What this new technology means to you is quick insertion of implants into the precise position with no “guesswork” during your treatment. Prior to your insertion procedure, you will be shown your case, and see exactly what will be placed and where. There will be no surprises!

Dental Implants Prevent Bone Loss

Dental Implants in Lancashire - preventing Bone loss

When a tooth is lost, the jawbone where the tooth once was quickly beginning to collapse. In order to keep growing and multiplying, bone cells require the stimulation of biting forces applied to the tooth roots during daily eating.  Without this healthy stimulation or “exercise”, the bone simply disappears. This loss of bone is most noticeable immediately after the tooth is removed but continues throughout your lifetime.

Patients who are missing one or many teeth will lose the bone in their jaw unless the missing teeth are replaced with dental implants.  Missing teeth (and the progression of bone loss that go with it) will affect speech, chewing ability and facial appearance.  It can also lead to improper fit of dentures.

Implants promote bone stability by transmitting stimulating biting forces to the bone while chewing.  In this way, implants prevent the progressive loss of bone that occurs when teeth are lost. Dental implants are the healthiest, most natural, long-term tooth replacement solution.  Implants are the only proven way to prevent bone loss after the natural teeth have been extracted!  And, implants function and feel exactly like healthy, natural teeth!
