Dental Implants ...

Alan Bell has been placing dental implants since 1996 and is very pleased to be able to offer this exciting form of treatment to his patients.

He regularly attends courses to keep up to date with new developments in this area and has undergone training in Berne, Switzerland with some of the world's implantology experts.

At Wye Dental Surgery we use the Straumann implant system. This company has over 25 years of data showing its system to be extremely effective and is one of the leading implant providers worldwide.

What does the treatment involve?

  • the implant, which can be imagined as a metal tooth root, is placed underneath the gum where it becomes one with the surrounding bone.
  • local anaesthesia is used
  • the procedure feels similar to having a filling, but takes a little longer
  • there is usually only slight discomfort afterwards for a few days in simple cases.
  • the tooth is usually built up from 6 weeks after placement. A longer time may be needed in certain circumstances.
  • sometimes it is possible to place the implant and build up the missing tooth at the same time
  • careful planning and placement of the implant can give an excellent cosmetic result - so important at the front of the mouth.

All the treatment stages:- planning, implant placement, and final reconstruction are performed here at Wye. For you this means a simpler, more straight forward procedure. Also, because the same person is involved from start to finish, it is easier to achieve a more predictable, successful result.

Who can have dental implants?

Almost everybody. If there is a problem arising from your medical history you will be informed. Age is not a contraindication in itself. Our upper limit so far is 92 years!

It is essential that your mouth is in good condition before implants are placed and that you maintain good oral cleanliness.
