What are Dental implants in Berkshire?
Dental implants in Berkshire are essentially a small titanium screw (typically less than one centimetre long) that is inserted into a hole within the gums. Dental implants are used when patients have lost a singular tooth, however multiple dental implants can be inserted when there is more than one tooth missing. One example of this is an All on four dental implant or a ‘bridge’. Dental implants can be used when a whole row of teeth are missing, as well as dentures (although these are not as permanent and have to be removed when eating and cleaning).
An individual may choose to undergo dental implants if they wish for a permanent fixture within the mouth, such as a porcelain crown. A porcelain crown is a natural looking imitation of the natural teeth, and can be perfectly matched to the shade of the tooth. Maintenance in terms of dental implants is simple, and can be looked after in the same way as your natural teeth.
What are the benefits of receiving dental implants?
One of the benefits of receiving dental implants is the fact that they appear completely as if they were natural teeth; the shade, shape and alignment of the implant can be altered by us, which is a huge advantage to many of our patients who aim to achieve a natural smile. Losing teeth can have unexpected health concerns; a dental implant within the mouth can help reduce damage to the bone, whilst encouraging regrowth and stimulation. A lack of missing teeth within the mouth can help reduce the signs of aging or a ‘sunken look’. Dental implants restore the natural function of the teeth, meaning patients can eat and clean their teeth as they usually would.
Why choose us to undergo your dental implants in Berkshire?
At our clinic, we aim to deliver high quality, professional, and comfortable dental and orthodontic care. We fully understand that patients may feel nervous when visiting the dentist, which is why we aim to ease their concerns within an initial consultation. Nervousness and anxiety surrounding the dentist may arise for a variety of reasons, one of which being an irrational fear or phobia, or maybe a negative childhood experience.
Does the treatment hurt, and how do I book an initial consultation?
No, it shouldn’t hurt, although a small level of discomfort may be experienced during the treatment process. However, our patients are placed under a general anesthetic and will therefore be comfortable during the process. In order to book an initial consultation, you can easily enter your details via our website, and enter a suitable time for an appointment, by following a few simple steps.
How much do dental implants cost?
The price of dental work always differs greatly depending on the severity of the dental case, as well as the patient’s financial position. Implants and crowns start from around £1250, however payment plans can be arranged to fund this. Private dental insurance, such as Bupa, can also be arranged. We also offer interest free payment plans as finance options, and therefore you can choose to pay for your treatment in monthly installments.
