What is a dental implant?
An implant is a piece of titanium that is put into the jaw where the missing tooth was. A crown is then fixed onto it. It looks and feels just like a tooth.

How long do implants take?
It is carried out in two stages. The first stage is having the implant placed. This is an oral surgical procedure. The implant is then left to join to the bone which takes 3-4 months, depending on where it is in the mouth.

What happens after a tooth is replaced with an implant?

Once he implant has joined in to the surrounding natural tissues we can move on to the second stage which is having the dental crown fixed to the implant.

The implant crown can be made from a variety of materials and could have a metal base, often gold, or a zirconia base. Zirconia is the material used in hip replacements and is the strongest form of metal free implant crown on the market today.

Dental implants are now a common treatment option for this Watford dental practice.

What is the cost of dental implants?

Many dental implant dentists don't put the cost of dental implants on their website, this is because the true implants cost is actually difficult to work out and provide accurate costings. Our implants start from a cost of £1,950, however if you need extensive surgery this price of implants may rise.

However, this cost, when spread over your life time, reduces considerably. Dental implants are often the most cost effective treatment as alternative treatments for missing teeth may mean that surrounding teeth are crowned to support the fake tooth in the gap.

This adds cost, plus it increases the likely hood of having to treat these teeth again in the future.

Dental implants save the surrounding teeth meaning future treatment for them is less likely (assuming they are healthy to start off with) so all things considered implants are often the most cost effective option for most patients over their life time.
