About dental implants

In most situations, dental implants are the ideal way of replacing missing teeth. A dental implant takes the place of the missing tooth’s root, and an all-ceramic dental crown or dental bridge, secured to a dental implant, provides a complete and beautiful solution for improving your smile. We can replace single teeth, multiple teeth and even all of the teeth. There is no need for dentures or to trim adjacent teeth for bridges.

A number of different types of implants and techniques exist with dental implant therapy. At Manningtree Dental practice, each case is assessed in great detail. As a patient, your clinical options will be fully discussed with you and a treatment plan established to reflect your unique needs. The length of your treatment can range from 3 to 12 months depending on the complexity of your care. Mr Clamp has undergone two year long courses at the Eastman Dental Hospital, the international centre of excellence in postgraduate dental education, and gained the certificate in surgical and prosthetic implantology, and the certificate in advanced implantology.

For the more complex cases, we are assisted by Carl Manhem, an implant specialist in Harley Street and senior lecturer in implantology at the Eastman.

Implants - single teeth

The middle tooth in the photograph is actually missing and has been replaced by an implant supported crown.

	This missing tooth can be replaced using either a bridge, denture or implant. An implant is usually the ideal option as the adjacent teeth are not trimmed for support as they usually would need to be for a bridge, and is a permanent and less bulky alternative to a denture.
	The implant is placed under local anaesthetic and there is very little discomfort afterwards. The implant may then be restored with a crown immediately, or left for up to six months for the bone to attach fully to the implant (integrate). This depends on the quality of the bone.
	The restoration is placed on the implant, often using a post.

Teeth Straightening

We can now align adult front teeth more quickly than with traditional braces using one of two techniques:

Cfast and Invisalign. Both techniques are fast and discreet.

Cfast

Uses almost invisible wires and brackets that are attached to the front of the teeth to align them. You will need to return to your dentist every month to have small adjustments made.

Treatment usually takes 6-9 months.
