What are dental implants?

Dental implants are one of the best ways to replace single or multiple teeth.

A dental implant replaces missing teeth through the insertion of a small titanium insert into either the upper or lower jawbone, which serves to support the placement of a crown (or bridge or denture) much like a natural tooth root would do.

Also known as screw-in teeth, dental implants replace missing teeth via the placement of a small titanium insert into the jawbone, providing a foundation for crowns, bridges and dentures much like a natural tooth root would.

Dental implants look, feel and function like your natural teeth. They can be used to replace single teeth, several teeth or even a complete jaw. They’re also used to stabilise dentures from moving. The benefits of dental implants over conventional methods of tooth replacement include the preservation of the gum and the supporting bone. They also help distribute force over your remaining teeth, lengthening their lifespan.

Scott Arms Dental Practice is dedicated to providing the highest quality dental implants in the Birmingham and West Midlands area – including Coventry, Wolverhampton, Shrewsbury, Solihull, Sutton Coldfield and Worcester.

The benefits of dental implants

• Comfortable alternative to dentures: Stabilise wobbly dentures or even replace them entirely with dental implants, providing unmatched comfort. Dental implants integrate with your jawbone, in effect becoming part of it. You’ll never need to use adhesives again. Sculpted to your individual needs, dental implants look and feel natural.
• Smile with confidence: Implants replace missing teeth and complete your smile, dramatically improving aesthetics.
• Chew your food with ease: The new titanium tooth root provided by the implant is very strong and stable, allowing you to eat normally – enjoy the feeling of biting into your meals once again!
• Look younger: As well as a great smile, dental implants stimulate bone and maintain facial structure via the process of osseointegration, delaying another of the signs of ageing. Look younger for longer.
• Can last a lifetime: With proper care, dental implants are the permanent solution to missing teeth because they integrate with the bone. Alternatives such as traditional bridges and dentures are not nearly as stable, will need to be replaced after less than 10 years, and cost more to maintain. Also, implants help distribute force over your remaining teeth, lengthening their lifespan, whereas traditional bridgework requires damaging adjacent teeth.

How are implants placed?

The 5 stage process for tooth implant placement is outlined below. More on the implant procedure.

1. Free implant assessment: Come in for a friendly chat and examination with one of our implant dentists.
2. Diagnosis with CT scan or X-ray: Here we plan for successful implant treatment by modelling with impressions, CT scanning, X-rays and other sources of information.
3. Implant placement: The titanium implants are placed below the gum using a simple 5-minute technique, which is easy and comfortable.
4. Implant stabilisation period: The teeth implants are left for 12-14 weeks to integrate with the bone (known as osseointegration) and become strong and stable.
5. Placing new teeth: The final prosthetic teeth (crowns, bridges or dentures) are completed and placed onto the implants.

Dental implant costs

The price is subject to the number of teeth replaced and implants used. Patients with higher quality and quantity of jawbone may need fewer implants to achieve the required stability. The price also depends on which implant system is used. Click here for more info on implant prices.

Block bone graft

A block bone graft is done when there is a large section of bone that is missing. That area of missing bone is usually the outer wall of bone that faces your cheek. A block bone graft is needed when there is no way to put particulate bone particles into a “hole” like an extraction socket. Please talk to our dentists to find out more.

Value for money

• No hidden costs: You’ll pay one price for all implant work – this includes any crowns, bridges or dentures. (An x-ray/radiograph will cost an additional £30 if you need it.)
• Interest-free financeSpread the cost over up to 3 years with our 0% APR financing if you can’t afford to pay in one go.
• More cost-effective than bridges and dentures: Alternatives like traditional bridges and dentures are less stable, therefore they have higher maintenance costs and will need to be replaced much sooner. Traditional bridgework also requires filing down adjacent teeth. With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime, not to mention being more comfortable, functional and attractive. Thus you’ll get more for your money in the long run.

If you have missing teeth, dental implants are one of the best investments you can make in your quality of life.
