How do they work?
Dental implants in Leamington Spa work through a set of strict guidelines to ensure that the implants are fitted in the correct manner. Bridges, crowns and dentures can be implemented on top of the implant and the finish that works best for you will be discussed at your initial consultation. Implants are made up of a small titanium screw which are placed directly at the jaw bone. This yields to the bone and provides a solid support for the new tooth.
This is done under local anaesthetic and is classed as a minor procedure, making it an accessible treatment to many different patients. After the site has been given enough time to heal and the implant has been incorporated into the bone then the new tooth is built on top of the implant. This gives the new tooth the look and feel of a natural tooth and can help you complete your smile again.
