Dental implants can be used to replace a single tooth or for multiple missing teeth. Restoring the tooth root prevents further issues and complications, provides support to facial structure and protects the gum.
At Smile Suffolk, we provide single and multiple implant options:
Single implants are used when you are missing one tooth, whether as a result of trauma, accident or extraction. When in place with a crown affixed to the top, the tooth is strong, secure and blends perfectly with your smile. Single implants are a very successful dental procedure, especially when carried out by our highly skilled and experienced clinicians.
If you need to replace a full arch of upper or lower teeth, we can do this securely and confidently with multiple dental implants. They are seen as superior to dentures, and are significantly more stable and comfortable to wear.
A full arch bridge of replacement teeth is fixed into place and supported by four or six implants, precisely planned to be in the most optimum positions in the mouth. Once healed, you can speak and eat with full confidence once more.
We can also use implants to anchor dentures, giving more support and stability. The dentures feel stronger and more secure, and will not slip or wobble, or cause irritation in the mouth.
