Sutton Smiles’ Comprehensive Guide to Dental Implants

Why Do We Need Dental Implants

Loose, ill-fitting, and missing teeth are not just a threat to your physical health but can also wear away at your sense of self-esteem and emotional well-being too. While old-fashioned dentures have proved to be a solution for a number of decades now, they have also been the butt of many jokes. Notoriously loose fitting, creating difficulties eating normal foods, causing soreness and pain, and having access to an alternative solution will help alleviate many issues for those who suffer.

Fortunately, dental technology has driven the improvement of dental implants, which are becoming the preferred choice for those seeking a more permanent resolution to replacing missing teeth.

Sutton Smiles, a leading clinic that provides Birmingham-based residents, outlines what implants are, and the impact they can have on your life.

How Do Implants Differ?

A dental implant is a permanent solution to missing teeth. Its root is manufactured from titanium and screws into the jawbone, mimicking a natural tooth root. Over time the titanium fuses with the bone of your jaw and becomes a permanent fixture.

They are becoming the preferred choice for individuals seeking a more permanent solution to dental problems. Not only do they look more natural, but they also feel more natural, too, eliminating the usual problems affecting speech, eating and general comfort and confidence.

What Are the Different Types?

With so much variety of dental implants in Birmingham, it is important to understand the different types. There is no one size fits all approach, and it is important to go through a proper planning and measuring process to ensure your implants are fit for purpose. However, every implant follows a certain system.

Single Dental Implants

This is the simplest solution for a missing tooth. The implant is screwed into your jawbone, and the crown is designed to match your surrounding teeth.

Multiple Dental Implants

In cases where multiple teeth are missing, Sutton Coldfield dental implants provider Sutton Smiles measures for multiple dental implants – replacing anything between two teeth to a full set.

What Are the Procedures Involved?

When you start to investigate the procedures behind replacing teeth, you realise the importance of making sure you use the services of providers of the best dental implants in Birmingham. A qualified and professional dentist will perform the necessary checks and measurements to guarantee a permanent, pain-free solution.

There are three types of fixtures:

Endosteal:

This is the most common type of implant fixture when the metal is fixed into the jawbone itself.

Subperiosteal:

If you require multiple dental implants, then a metal framework with protruding posts is fixed underneath the gumline, directly into the jawbone.

Zygomatic:

This is the most extreme type of implant as it requires the metal to be fixed into the cheekbones. These are specifically for those who have an insufficient bone in the upper jaw and can be considerably more time-consuming and expensive.

What is the Cost of Dental Implants?

Whether you are looking for dental implants in Birmingham or, more specifically, dental implants in Sutton Coldfield, the costs will vary depending on the individual treatment required rather than the location itself.

The process from the initial planning stage, manufacturing of the implants, surgery and aftercare costs all need to be taken into account, so it is difficult to give an entirely accurate cost. Prices start from approximately £3000. However, because Sutton Dental and Implant clinic is one of the best providers of dental implants in Birmingham, the company includes a comprehensive check on all oral health issues as part of the service.

This check includes oral cancer screening, 2D X-rays, photos, and digital scans.

Why is It Important to Seek Local Treatment?

While it is possible to seek cheaper treatment overseas, confidence, convenience, and safety are important elements to the overall satisfaction of successful dental implant surgery.

By choosing a dental implant clinic in Birmingham, you can be assured of a structured, paced treatment plan with emergency appointments available if you feel there are any problems at all. Fundamentally, as an individual, you will feel far more relaxed and at ease with the treatment because you are in familiar surroundings and can go back to your own home at the end of the treatment.

Joining our membership scheme will also ensure that any work you have done is maintained over the long term.

What’s more, you can save your holiday entitlement for just that – your holidays, sitting in a deckchair on the beach rather than a dentist’s chair!
