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.

In 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.

How 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.

A lot of people prefer dentures in order to replace their missing teeth, since they are easy to wear and cost-effective compared with dental implants. Modern dentures have come a long way and they are now more lightweight and aesthetically pleasing than ever before. However, long-term denture wearers find that dentures tend to become loose and slip while they are eating or speaking. This is due to the deterioration of the jawbone, a process that traditional dentures cannot halt.

If you have had enough of your dentures but you can’t justify the price of dental implants, we may have the ideal solution for you. At Glenholme Dental, we offer All-on-4 dental implants in Basingstoke. If you wear full dentures, the All-on-4 implant procedure can combine the best aspects of both treatments in a more affordable manner. Here’s how it works.

What is All-on-4?

The All-on-4 is an innovative dental implant technique that provides patients with a new set of fixed teeth in a single appointment. All-on-4 dental implants are ideal for patients who have lost most or all of their teeth or suffer from failing teeth as a result of advanced gum disease. Unlike removable dentures, All-on-4 overdentures are securely attached to 4 dental implants, surgically imbedded into the jawbone. The dental implants fuse with the jawbone and create new bone tissue, resulting in a permanent solution to tooth loss. With the All-on-4 technique, you can flash your new smile a few hours after the surgery.

Am I eligible for All-on-4 dental implants?

The All-on-4 implant procedure is versatile since it doesn’t require the same level of jawbone density that regular dental implants do. Patients who have lost most or all of their teeth are eligible for the treatment as long as they do not suffer from active gum disease or other conditions, such as uncontrolled diabetes or heart disease, that may affect the healing process. Age itself is not a problem for All-on-4 dental implants. As a matter of fact, older patients are encouraged to opt for this treatment in order to improve their quality of life.

Dental implants offer a viable tooth replacement option for patients who have lost one, several or all of their teeth. Unlike other tooth replacement treatments that do not interact with the jawbone, dental implants become a part of the jawbone and prevent its further deterioration. Dental implants look, feel and function just like your natural teeth and that makes them ideal for patients who have lost their chewing and biting ability because of tooth loss.

At Glenholme Dental in Basingstoke, dental implants are our treatment of choice for patients with missing teeth. Though the procedure can be more time-consuming than other procedures, as it involves preparation, minor surgery and time for healing, dental implants can greatly improve the appearance and health of your teeth and jawbone for years to come. If you are considering dental implants in Basingstoke, here is a typical breakdown of the consultation process.

Suitability, preparation and questions

Choosing to have your teeth replaced with dental implants is a big decision and something worth discussing in detail with your dentist prior to the surgery. Most patients are usually eligible for dental implants as long as they are healthy and have enough bone left in their jaw. Your dentist in Basingstoke, will ask you questions about your oral and general health, as well as your lifestyle and habits.

This is because certain conditions such as diabetes and heart disease can compromise implant treatment, if not controlled prior to the operation. Furthermore, patients who smoke are not ideal patients for dental implants, since nicotine affects healing time and can ultimately lead to implant failure.

Your dentist may take photographs and x-rays of your jawbone in order to have a good idea of your current oral health and also to determine the best position for placing the dental implants. Based on the state of your teeth and gums before the surgery, you may need to receive other dental treatments first, for example to resolve tooth decay or gum disease.

Your initial consultation is a good opportunity to ask your dentist questions about the procedure. If you are a nervous patient, you may want to discuss your sedation options.
