Replace Missing Teeth with<\/span> Dental Implants<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Living with missing or failing teeth can affect how comfortably you eat and speak, as well as how you feel about your smile. Dental implants offer a long-term way to support replacement teeth when one tooth, several neighbouring teeth or most of the teeth in an arch need to be replaced.\u00a0<\/p>\n

At Allen House Dental Ipswich, every implant treatment begins with a careful assessment. We will listen to what you would like to achieve, examine your oral health and explain the appropriate fixed and removable options. These may include an implant crown, an implant-supported bridge, an implant-retained denture or a fixed full-mouth restoration.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Dental implants are not suitable for everyone. A clinical examination and diagnostic assessment are required before treatment can be recommended. We will also explain reasonable alternatives so that you can make an informed decision without pressure.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

UNDERSTANDING DENTAL IMPLANTS<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

<\/div><\/div>\n\n

What Are<\/span> Dental Implants?<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

A dental implant is a small screw or post, usually made from titanium, that is surgically placed in the jawbone. It acts as a foundation for a replacement crown, bridge or denture.<\/p>\n

After placement, the surrounding bone heals closely around the implant through a process called osseointegration. Once sufficient healing has taken place, the implant can support the replacement tooth or teeth planned for your case.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

Single-Tooth Dental Implants<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

A single dental implant can replace one missing tooth without using the neighbouring teeth for support.<\/p>\n

The implant is placed in the jawbone and, after the required healing period, restored with a custom-made crown. Its shape, shade and position are planned to complement the surrounding teeth.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Implant-Supported Dental Bridges<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

An implant-supported bridge may replace several adjacent missing teeth.<\/p>\n

Instead of placing one implant for every missing tooth, two or more implants may be used to support a fixed bridge. The number and position of the implants depend on the location of the gap, the available bone and the forces placed on the restoration.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Implant-Retained Snap-In Dentures<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Implant-retained dentures are removable dentures held more securely in place by dental implants.<\/p>\n

The denture connects to implants using attachment points or a supporting bar. It can still be removed for cleaning, but it usually offers greater stability than a conventional removable denture.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Full-Mouth Dental Implants<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Full-mouth or full-arch dental implants may be considered when most or all the teeth in the upper jaw, lower jaw or both jaws are missing or cannot be predictably restored.<\/p>\n

A complete arch of replacement teeth is supported by a carefully planned number of implants\u2014often four or six, depending on the individual case. Selected patients may be suitable for a temporary fixed restoration shortly after implant placement. This cannot be promised before assessment, and a modified diet is normally required during healing.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

THE BENEFITS\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

What Are the Benefits of Dental Implants?<\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Dental implants can provide several benefits for clinically suitable patients. However, every tooth-replacement option has advantages, limitations, risks and maintenance requirements that should be explained before treatment.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

\n
\n
\":<\/span><\/div>\n\n

Stable Tooth Replacement<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Because implants are anchored within the jawbone, they can provide a stable foundation for fixed crowns and bridges or improve the retention of a removable denture.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n
\"Dental<\/span><\/div>\n\n

Protection of Neighbouring Teeth<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

A single implant can often replace a missing tooth without preparing healthy neighbouring teeth, as may be required for some conventional tooth-supported bridges.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n
\":<\/span><\/div>\n\n

Natural-Looking Restorations<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Implant crowns, bridges and dentures are individually planned to complement your remaining teeth, smile and facial proportions.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n
\n
\":<\/span><\/div>\n\n

Support for Chewing<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

After healing and the fitting of the final restoration, implant-supported teeth may make eating more comfortable and predictable than an unstable removable denture.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n
\"Dental<\/span><\/div>\n\n

Support for the Jawbone<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

An implant transfers functional forces into the surrounding bone and may help maintain bone around the implant site. It cannot guarantee that all future bone loss will be prevented.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\n
\"Dental<\/span><\/div>\n\n

Long-Term Treatment<\/h3>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

Implants can provide long-term tooth replacement when carefully planned, effectively cleaned and professionally maintained. They should not be described as permanent or guaranteed for life.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

\uf05a<\/span><\/span><\/div>

Dental implants are not appropriate for everyone. Your suitability can only be determined after a clinical assessment and any necessary diagnostic imaging.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

Which Is Right for You?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n
