SOLUTIONS TO GUM DISEASE OR DECAY
When teeth are lost due to gum disease or decay, it can result in problems with eating and speaking, not to mention the aesthetic aspect of missing teeth. Modern dentistry has advanced considerably, and missing teeth can easily be replaced. This can be a removable denture, a dental bridge, or a dental implant.
Implants are fast becoming the ideal solution for replacing missing teeth. They are placed in the bone to support a crown on top (the part we see above the gum line), which aims to replicate a natural tooth’s normal function and appearance.
Here at East Grinstead Dental, we use the latest technological advances to place dental Implants using the world-class Straumann system. Combining this with modern methods of scanning the area after treatment allows us to create beautiful and long-lasting results for our patients.
ADVANTAGES
With careful planning and 3D imaging, you will enjoy the following advantages:
• Safer and less complex surgery, which in some cases requires only a minimum incision of the gum
• Shorter operation time, less discomfort, better healing
• Optimised aesthetic, function and hygiene of restoration due to advanced virtual planning and positioning
• Considering vital anatomy (e.g., nerves, tooth roots, adjacent implants) through the ability to visualise surrounding anatomy and planning the placement of a dental implant according to the ideal tooth position.
• Prior planning to let patients understand their treatment options and risks better by visualising the intended results.
All aspects of the implant placement, time lengths, and cost will be discussed in full to ensure you are fully aware of the treatment plan before you begin.
