Dental implant treatment in Ipswich
A dental implant is a small post placed in the jawbone that can support a crown, bridge or attachment for a denture. Treatment is carefully planned and usually completed in stages over several months. CBCT imaging is used where clinically appropriate to assess the available bone and help plan the implant position.
Following the necessary assessment and diagnostic planning, you will receive a proposed treatment plan and written estimate before deciding whether to proceed.
