DENTAL IMPLANTS IN SURREY
Dr Riten Patel is a highly experienced implantologist and offers Dental implants as a permanent solution for your missing teeth. A dental implant is essentially a substitute for a natural root and commonly screw or cylinder shaped.
Each implant is carefully placed into a socket drilled at the precise location of the intended tooth. Often the implant can be placed at the same time as removal of the tooth, all on the same day.
If an implant has a screw-thread on its outer surface it can be screwed into position and if it does not, it is usually tapped into place.
The main aim during installation of any implant is to achieve immediate close contact with the surrounding bone. This creates an initial stability, which over time is steadily enhanced by further growth of bone into microscopic grooves on the implant surface.
In order to support replacement teeth, dental implants normally have some form of internal screw thread or post space that allows a variety of components to be fitted.
Once fitted, these components provide the foundation for long-term support of crowns, bridges or dentures.
This young lady has two missing front teeth there was very little space to place the implants so orthodontic / brace treatment was needed to move the teeth into a better position. Two implants were placed with prototype teeth so the patient no longer had any gaps. She is very happy with her new smile and has much more confidence.
This lady had an implacted canine tooth , she had been to an orthodontist and the treatment had not worked. She was unwilling to try anymore orthodontic treatment so the impacted tooth was removed and a large amount of bone had to re grown . The new totoh looks very natural and she is very happy.
