Smile!

Get the smile you deserve at Glenholme Dental with our Teeth-In-A-Day procedure. With Teeth-in-a-Day dental implants in Basingstoke, we give patients the luxury of leaving with fixed teeth on the very same day of implant placement.

We are supported by the most advanced, state-of-the-art technology available. If you’re missing one or more teeth, even if you wear dentures, you can live more fully with teeth that look, feel and function like your own, and last a lifetime, in as little as a few hours.

Dental Implants in BasingstokeTraditional dentures have existed for hundreds of years – President George Washington probably had the most famous pair of dentures, which were made from cow and walrus teeth. While denture technology has certainly developed since those early days, the fact remains that many denture wearers frequently complain of discomfort, pain, slippage, inability to eat desired foods and an overall drop in self-confidence.

Am I a candidate?

Even if other dentists have told you that you are not a candidate for implants, please come and see us here at Glenholme Dental. There are now advanced techniques available to us that can replace lost bone and could allow you to be a candidate for dental implants in Basingstoke.

Teeth-In-A-Day

Immediate, same-day teeth are a revolutionary concept that we can offer many of our patients. We provide you with fully functioning teeth on dental implants in one single procedure. Using advanced technology and a skillful touch, we can give you a reason to smile with more confidence in one visit.

The creation of your prosthesis for your dental implants in Basingstoke is completed prior to the surgery. The computer-guided implant surgery is often done without any resulting tissue loss in the process. This benefits our patients because it creates less post-operative discomfort, less swelling and less bruising. Often, our patients can resume their normal activities the very next day.

 The procedure

The process will start with a CT scan of your jawbone. This CT scan allows for the generation of a 3D model of the jawbone, which can then be used along with a virtual reality software to plan the implant placement without you needing to be there. This means more accurate implant placement and less chair time for you.

Are dental implants right for me?

Knocked out teeth are not something any of us want to have to consider. They can be synonymous with gap-toothed smiles for many years, but now there’s no need to let losing teeth affect the rest of your life.

Not only can gaps in your smile be unsightly, but they are also detrimental to your overall oral health. Gaps can significantly change the way you bite, and can cause the jawbone to deteriorate.

Dental Implants in BasingstokeSo, if you have missing teeth, you should consider some type of treatment to have them replaced. Dental implants in Basingstoke at Glenholme Dental are a permanent solution to the problem, eliminating the need for dentures or other appliances – which can often need repairing over time. Although our dental implants in Basingstoke can last over 20 years, it’s always good to look at the decision from all angles, considering the pros and cons associated with the procedure.

The pros of having dental implants

Dental implants are different to other kinds of dental restorations, in that they are not just attached to the surface of the teeth, but are surgically grafted into the jawbone. They are incredibly hard-wearing because they are made from titanium, which is also resistant to rust and won’t cause infection.

The titanium post is the root of your new tooth. It helps the crown withstand the daily pressures of biting and chewing, enabling it to function as a normal tooth would.

Dental implants in Basingstoke also don’t require any wires, clips, or anchors to hold them in place. This makes them appear much more natural and allows them to blend in with the rest of the teeth.

Our dentists here at Glenholme Dental look upon dental implants as a huge leap forward in dental science, simply because they are almost as permanent as the real thing.

Our quality dental implants in Basingstoke can last many years if they are properly cared for. Other devices designed to deal with the issue of replacing missing teeth just can’t compete with dental implants as far as performance goes.

Not only will your new teeth from Glenholme Dental look and feel natural, they will also stimulate bone growth in the jaw, because they are firmly bonded with it.

Replace an entire arch of missing teeth with All-on-4 dental implants in Basingstoke in a day

Have you lost all of your teeth, but are not too eager to have them replaced with dental implants because of the cost? What if we told you that you can have your teeth replaced with dental implants in the same day at a fraction of the cost? At Glenholme Dental, we offer All-on-4 dental implants in Basingstoke for patients who wish to enjoy the benefits of dental implants at a fraction of the cost.

Dental Implants in BasingstokeIn comparison with All-on-4 dental implants, traditional implants require an individual dental implant for each missing tooth. This can add up to quite a few thousand pounds for patients who have lost several or all of their teeth. Often, bone grafting is also needed before the implant surgery can even begin. This adds extra waiting time while the dental implants to heal. At Glenholme Dental, we strive to achieve precision and accuracy for creating a beautiful set of teeth on only four dental implants.

How All-on-4 dental implants are different to regular dental implants?

The All-on-4 dental implant treatment uses only four implants per arch, where as conventional implants require anywhere from six to eight implants, or more, in order to restore an entire arch. The implants used in the All-on-4 procedure are placed at an angle, which allows for increased contact by using the natural support of your bone.

Moreover, All-on-4 dental implants do not require any bone grafting prior to the implant operation. Once the dental implants are fixed in place, removable dentures are clicked onto them with the help of special fixtures. These dentures are very stable and have the ability to restore your oral function almost completely.

Am I an ideal candidate for All-on-4 dental implants in Basingstoke?

All-on-4 dental implants are ideal for patients who have lost most of their natural teeth and have been wearing dentures for shorter or longer periods of time. Age is not a deciding factor, but dental implants candidates should be in good general health.

Restoring your teeth, the modern way

If you have gaps in your teeth, you may have replaced them with dentures. Whether you have or not, you will know that everyday activities such as eating and speaking can be difficult or uncomfortable. Gaps can also seriously affect your appearance and how you feel about yourself. We would all love a beautiful smile that we do not have to worry about and, for our patients at Glenholme Dental in Basingstoke, dental implants have offered just that. Dental implants are a secure, permanent solution which fit into their lifestyles.

Dental Implants in BasingstokeHow do dental implants in Buckinghamshire work?

The implants are carefully designed metal screws that are fitted into the jaw during a minor surgical procedure, carried out under local anaesthetic. They are hidden beneath the gum and held in place by the bones and blood vessels meshing around them. When they are stable, they can be used as a secure base for a single replacement tooth, several teeth or a whole set of dentures. For our patients in Basingstoke, dental implants have changed their lives. They function just like natural tooth roots so that you can bite and chew as normal and, apart from regular care, you can forget that you have them.

Rapid healing using the latest technology

When you choose dental implants in Basingstoke, you will benefit from our commitment to keeping up to date with the latest techniques. When your body experiences any wound, including surgery, it produces a unique set of proteins that simulate the healing process. To ensure fast recovery time, we are proud to offer a procedure that makes use of these special proteins. We take a small sample of your blood and treat it to produce a concentrated mixture of natural healing agents, known as ‘plasma rich in growth factor’. This is carefully applied to the wound to ensure that you heal quickly. When you have dental implants in Basingstoke with us, you can be assured that we use the latest methods to ensure that the process is as effective, safe and quick as possible.

If you would like to simplify your life, improve your appearance and benefit from a having a full set of teeth, then you may like to consider dental implants. Basingstoke is the home of Glenholme Dental and we are proud of our experience of fitting implants.
