Come and explore our dental implants Brentwood
At Coptfold Dental, we are proud that we have been established for over 50 years and have been doing what we do best – moving with the times in dentistry. We pride ourselves on using the latest technologies and treatments to provide excellent care for our patients. For patients with missing teeth, we offer dental implants Brentwood, which is an example of our treatments that can make a huge difference to patients. 
What does having dental implants involve?
Dental implants are metal screws that can be attached to the jawbone where you have missing teeth. These screws are used as posts for your replacement teeth of crowns, bridges or dentures to be fixed securely. When the screws have bonded with your body’s tissues, they are firmly secured by your gums and won’t be going anywhere! This means that you can feel confident in your dental implants Brentwood; whether you’re smiling, chatting, eating or drinking, other people shouldn’t realise you don’t have a full set of natural teeth – and you might forget you don’t too!
Does having dental implants involve major surgery?
To have dental implants Brentwood fitted, you only need to have a local anaesthetic and a couple of appointments. During the first appointment, we will fit your implants, and while they have time to bond with your body’s tissues, we will attach temporary replacement teeth to them. You will then need to come back and see us for a second appointment, during which we will fit your permanent replacement teeth. Replacement teeth are normally crowns for single teeth replacements, bridges for several teeth, or dentures for full mouth replacements.
The advantages of dental implants
Dental implants have many benefits; one of the best is the fact that nobody will be able to tell that you don’t have a full set of natural teeth, so you can smile freely without worrying about people noticing anything. Another advantage is the fact that you won’t need to change your diet – you can continue to eat hard or chewy foods, and your implants shouldn’t let you down. You can then brush and floss as normal afterwards as that is all you will need to do to maintain your dental implants, alongside coming to see us for your routine dental checkups.
Moving forward
If you think that you would like to have dental implants, all you need to do is come and see us here at Coptfold Dental for an initial consultation. We will examine your mouth thoroughly to determine whether or not dental implants are a suitable option for you. Sometimes, patients do not have enough bone density in their jawbone to attach the screws to. If this happens to you, however, we may be able to recommend a bone graft first to enable you to have the implants. We will discuss all options with you, and you can ask as many questions as you need to feel fully informed and confident in the treatment plan that is decided upon together. Our friendly and professional team is ready and waiting to help you get your smile on track – we’ve been here for years! Come and get started on completing your smile journey with us.
