WAKEFIELD DENTAL IMPLANTS - who can benefit?
Whether you are young or old, just missing one tooth or
have no teeth at all - dental implants could make a very dramatic
difference to the way that your mouth feels, looks and functions.
Treatment with dental implants could give a tremendous boost
to your comfort and self-confidence. Implants are not prone
to decay and are considered to be the "gold standard"
treatment for missing teeth in many situations.
| Data available on early implant systems
has now shown cases functioning successfully for over
25 years and the technology involved in implants has continued
to develop and improve even further. Unlike conventional
bridgework, dental implant treatment does not involve
destructive procedures to adjoining teeth. Additional
stress to neighbouring teeth is avoided. |

What is an Implant?
A dental implant is usually a small metal screw which
is placed in the upper or lower jawbone where the natural
teeth have been lost. Implants are made from pure titanium
which "integrates" with the surrounding bone
to provide a firm foundation for the replacement of missing
teeth.
Once the implant is integrated with the bone (a process
known as osseointegration) it is ready to carry a tooth
or other structure. Implants can replace teeth individually
or help stabilise poorly retained dentures. |

How many implants do I need?
This depends on the problems you are experiencing. Implants
can be used to replace each individual tooth, to replace several
teeth supporting a bridge, or they can be used to anchor your
denture.
Treatment with Intra-Venous sedation
There is no need to worry about the surgical phase of your
implant treatment, as this can be provided with the aid of
Intra-Venous sedation without any additional cost. Intra-Venous
sedation is an extremely successful, popular and safe procedure
for the treatment of nervous patients. It is particularly
useful for patients undergoing a one-off surgical procedure,
as in implantology. Of course, some patients prefer to undergo
treatment with a local anaesthetic alone.
Cost
As each individual's requirements are different, the cost
will vary depending on complexity and the number of implants
required. After a consultation, a written report detailing
the treatment plan with all estimated costs will be prepared
for you to consider before treatment begins.
Getting started
- The first stage is a full examination of your mouth including
taking X-rays.
- A report detailing suggested treatments is discussed
with you.
- Implants are placed and allowed to heal for 3 to 6 months.
- Implants are uncovered and left for a further 2 weeks.
- Impressions are taken.
- Your final Crown, Bridge or Denture is fitted.
This whole process is carried out at our own Dental Implant
Clinic by Dr Mark Willings.

As a patient of Horbury Dental Implant Clinic, we are delighted to provide you with the option to protect your treatment, for the first 12 months, following placement of your implant
£2,500 per implant of protection for remedial treatment, resulting from a failure to integrate or extra oral accidental damage (an impact from outside the mouth) that damages either your implant or attached prostheses.
The cost of this protection is per implant as follows: £75.00 (1 to 4 implants), £65.00 (5 -6 implants), £60.00 (7-8 implants), £55.00 (9 implants) and £50.00 (>10 implants).
