Dental Practitioners in Bournemouth

Here at Southfield Dental Practice, we offer patients standard implants as well as multiple implant bridges and retaining dentures.

Dental Implants Bournemouth

Dental implants consist of an artificial tooth that’s screwed into the jaw using a titanium screw which replaces the roots of your missing teeth. Unlike standard dentures, the titanium fuses with your jawbone preventing any slippages, noise or damage from being caused to the bone. The materials also aren’t subject to decay making dental implants in Bournemouth a popular choice all-round.

Before proceeding, a thorough examination will be carried out and x-rays and moulds taken. This will help our experts to determine your suitability and to devise a suitable treatment plan. You may find yourself consulting with several specialists, including periodontists and oral surgeons. We will determine the number of teeth that need replacing as well as the condition of your jawbone.

As the most attentive choice for the provision of dental implants, Bournemouth patients can expect no stone to be left unturned. We’ll also discuss your well-being as well as any health issues you might be suffering with. This is because certain heart and orthopaedic conditions require taking anti-biotics which we’ll need to know about in advance. For your peace of mind, we can offer sedation, local and general anaesthesia.

During the procedure, the damage tooth/ teeth will be removed, and your jawbone prepared. A bone graft will be applied if the jawbone isn’t thick enough to take the new implants. A metal post dental implant is inserted into the jawbone, and this usually takes several months to heal. Once fully healed, an abutment is placed onto the metal post and once this has healed (usually taking around two weeks) the crown is placed on top.

Multiple Implant Bridges

Multiple implant bridges are suitable for patients who have lost more than one tooth. At Southfield Dental Practice, we provide Bournemouth dental implants of this nature all the time and are extremely proficient at it. The treatment process is, for the most part, the same. The roots of your teeth will be removed beforehand and the new implants carefully placed in the right position.

Once fused, our team will select the right bridge implants for your needs and attach these as required. As soon as the implants are in, a temporary bridge is added to protect the implants from the pressure of chewing. This is usually left in place for up to eight weeks. If after eight weeks everything checks out, the rest of the bridge will be completed, placed and secured.

Retaining Dentures

Retaining dentures are yet another example of dental implants. Bournemouth, retaining dentures are the best choice when your teeth are gone, but your jawbone is still able to support metal implants. As with standard implants and multiple implant bridges, retaining dentures are secured by placing implants into the jawbone and attaching abutments and crowns on top.

In order to fit a retaining denture, a small incision is made in the gum, and the implants are then inserted into the jawbone by drilling down. It’ll take between four and six months for the implants to fuse in place after which the dentures will be added. These can be attached either by a thin metal bar or by a series of metal ball attachments. As always, our team will be happy to provide you with advice on the correct approach for your dental implants, Bournemouth.
