The revolution in dental implant technology has completely changed the landscape of tooth replacement in south east London. The introduction of of computers and lasers into modern dentistry has made it easier for dentists to offer this treatment. With the use of digital imaging, an implant can be placed with pinpoint precision into position and laser surgery allows the hole to be made in the jawbone, to take the titanium implant, without overly damaging the surrounding gum tissue, which means that the whole operation heals far more quickly than in times gone by. These new techniques have seen made it easier for dentists to offer their patients this treatment, and as it has become commonplace in surgeries, the price of an implant has dropped dramatically. But the greatest advantage of the implant is the versatility of its use; yes it’s great for single tooth replacement as it acts as the new root of the tooth to place the crown upon and once in the mouth, it’s in for good. However its success in this area was soon recognized and the implant’s strength was adapted for other applications. Mini implants, that can be inserted in a day, have been used for keeping dentures firmly in the mouth. They are also used for giving extra support to dental bridges.
