From the replacement of one tooth to all the teeth, dental implants provide a predictable long term solution giving a fully functional, aesthetic result. Developed in 1965 in Sweden, implants are root like structures, made of titanium, that are gently inserted into the bone. The bone and the implant bonds in a process called osseointegration giving a foundation on which to build the new teeth.
At Aquae Sulis Dental we use the implants produced by Astra Tech™. Recognised as one of the leading manufactures of implants and giving success rates worldwide, in excess of 97%, implants produce restorations that look, feel and function as natural teeth.
Implant surgery is a highly specialised area of dentistry and can only be carried out by dental surgeons trained in this particular field. It is a very technical, labour intensive process hence the relatively high costs involved. However, once the work is complete the results are incredible with patients having beautiful, realistic teeth which apart from regular dental check-ups, need no further specialist care or procedures. A genuine long-term investment, implants have been described by many recipients as truly life-changing.
