If you are looking for dental implants in Loughton then you have come to the right place. Broadway Dental offers dental implants to patients looking to improve the overall health and look of their teeth.

We understand the embarrassment that living with rotten or missing teeth can bring to people, and the stress it can cause our patients, which is why we offer dental implants to people looking to fix the problem once and for all.At our practice in Loughton, dental implants are suitable for most people who

suffer from missing or damaged teeth and want to restore their appearance or the ability to eat and drink without issue. Saying that, it is really important that the patient’s bone tissue is fully developed, as this is what the dental implants are attached to and held in place by. Dental implants are not therefore used in people under 18 years of age.

Your mouth will need to be in a relatively healthy condition in order to be considered for dental implants in Loughton. The dentist will not carry out the dental implants if you have signs of untreated tooth decay or active gum disease. When implants are fitted into an unhealthy gum there is a grave danger that an infection will develop around the implant, leading to its failure.

1. Suitability

First off you will need to have an examination with the dentist to ensure you are a suitable candidate for dental implants. This will include a routine examination of your mouth and possibly some x-rays if required, in order to get a better picture of your jaw.

2. Preparation

Your mouth will be prepared for the dental implants by making a small insertion into your jaw bone where the implant will later be screwed into place.

3. Implantation

The dental implants are then screwed into place and allowed to heal. The dentist will aim to get the colour of the implants as close to your natural colour as possible so that they blend in well.
