The procedure

Step 1 – Before the procedure

Having obtained the necessary information to establish the treatment options available, your dentist will create an individual treatment plan, custom-made for your needs. Dental implants in Hertford can be used not only to restore all teeth but also the loss of just one or several. Whichever the case, your treatment plan will clearly lay out what you can expect.

Step 2 –Fitting the implants

The first step in fitting dental implants is to replace the lost tooth roots. If you have lost all of your teeth, then typically4 or 5 implants will be placed directly into the jawbone. Temporary teeth are then attached that enable you to eat and function as normal while waiting for the permanent bridge to be installed.

Step 3 – Your new bridge

Once your implants have taken hold, the final bridge or crown is securely fitted on top of the dental implants. With a full jaw replacement, where no natural teeth are present, it will normally take2 or 3 visits to have the bridge attached.

Step 4 – The result

Your new teeth will be hard to distinguish from your natural teeth. This is something both you and those around you can enjoy.With restored function and form to your teeth and smile, you can once again focus on getting on with your day, without the daily worry over your dental health.
