Dental Implants in Northampton

The ideal solution to missing teeth or loose dentures

Dental implants are essentially replacements for the natural roots of teeth. They can be used singly to replace one tooth or multiply to replace several or all missing teeth. Dental implants are titanium cylinders which form a connection to the bone over time. This is referred to as "osseointegration".The dental implant has an internal screw space to which components can be attached. This allows crowns or bridges to be attached, or dentures to be supported. Thus, dental implants offer an alternative to dentures and bridgework, or a means to secure loose dentures.

Dental implants are a very flexible way of replacing missing teeth. Dental implants can be used to replace one missing tooth, several teeth with a bridge or a full arch of teeth either as a bridge or to hold a denture in place. The number of implants required and the type of restoration will depend on the bone available, the number of teeth missing and the type of restoration necessary. For example, six implants on the upper and five on the lower can retain a full arch fixed bridge. To retain an over-denture, four implants on the upper and two on the lower would usually be required.
