When it comes to a big investment in your health, you want to know that you are getting excellence in return for your money. And, if you live in or near Basingstoke, dental implants can be fitted for you by the man who teaches other dentists how to fit them.

Meet James Kleiber, the medical director of Glenholme Dental Centre in Basingstoke. As well as being an award-winning dentist, James is a teacher at Implant Courses UK and The Esthetic Alliance, teaching other dentists how to place and restore implants. A member of the Association of Implantology, James has also taught at Guy’s Hospital in London and is a key opinion leader for Nobel Bio care, on the world’s foremost implant system producers.

When you come to James for dental implants in Basingstoke, he will make a detailed examination of your mouth and jawbone, which may include a CT scan or x-rays to make sure that your jawbone is strong and healthy enough to receive dental implants. If there are problems, it may be that you will need to have a bone graft or a sinus lift before you can have dental implants in Basingstoke. James will also make sure there are no other oral health issues that need to be addressed before implant surgery can go ahead.

James will provide you with a written treatment plan, including the cost, for you to agree to before treatment starts. Once you are entirely happy with the proposed schedule, you can expect the process to last several weeks.

The first stage is oral surgery, under local anaesthetic, during which James will place the implant (artificial tooth root) into your jaw. You may receive one or more implants depending on your needs. And, if you are a nervous patient, you can opt for sedation as well as local anaesthetic.

During the following few weeks the jaws and gums will heal around the implant, and new bone tissue will grow it and mesh with it, holding it as firmly in place as if it was a natural tooth. Once this has happened, you can come back to James to have your custom-made artificial tooth crowns fitted, either as single teeth, or bridges, or even entire sets of upper and lower jaw teeth.

If you have decided that it is the moment to either replace your missing teeth for the first time or choose a different method than you have before then you will want to explore all of your options thoroughly.  Checking out dental implants in Basingstoke at our clinic, Glenholme Dental, is a must to ensure you have considered every possibility.

As with most dental treatments, the sooner you get it done the better. The body adapts quickly to new circumstances. While this is often an amazing quality, sometimes it can adapt to things like missing teeth by creating an environment that is no longer as supportive because resources get diverted elsewhere. This can mean that, when you go to consider replacing teeth with something like dental implants, it is no longer possible or at least requires extra work to rebuild the support structures.

Dental implants are revitalising in many ways. They can give you back great functionality as well as restore confidence in your smile. By visiting us in Basingstoke, dental implants can become a real option for you as we offer you advice, guidelines on preparing for and experiencing the treatment as well as a way to help spread the cost so you can go ahead as soon as you need to.

Whatever your concerns are when it comes to this treatment, we want to talk to you about them at Glenholme Dental. Often it is a case of understanding just how beneficial the treatment can be and that it is a long term, permanent solution. If properly cared for, dental implants have the potential to last a lifetime. For many people, having something so close to normal teeth back can give them a new lease of life and re-open doors that they had previously thought closed for good.

When you consider dental implants in Basingstoke, one of our team will talk you through it step by step. You will understand the timetable of treatments as well as what you can expect to experience at every stage and you will get a full breakdown of costs. At Glenholme Dental, we know that an informed choice is a powerful one and that full knowledge of the journey ahead will help you make it.

More and more people are turning to dental implants as the ideal solution for replacing one or more missing teeth.

Here at Glenholme Dental in Basingstoke, dental implants come from one company only –Nobel Bio care. We use Nobel Bio care because they are the longest-established implant company and are still leaders in the implant field. All their implants come with a lifetime guarantee and a warranty card, so that you can receive care for your implants from a Nobel Bio care dentist anywhere in the world.

If you don’t know much about dental implants in Basingstoke, here’s a quick explanation of what they are and what they do. Dental implants replace the entire tooth, including the root. The implant itself is a titanium screw that is implanted into the jawbone during a surgical procedure. Once in place, the titanium stimulates the bone tissue to regenerate and mesh with it, thus holding it in place as it would a natural tooth. This takes several weeks to months. Once the jaw has healed around the implant, an abutment (internal screw) is fitted into the implant and onto that a custom-made artificial crown, or bridge is permanently fixed.

As you can see, it takes some time to go through the several stages of receiving dental implants in Basingstoke, and the healing stage, after the implant has been inserted, can be quite uncomfortable.

However, the benefits are several-fold. Firstly, because implants are permanent fixtures, people who have them no longer have to deal with the hassle of cleaning removable dentures, or the embarrassment of someone seeing them in a glass by the bed for the first time (such a romance killer!). Health-wise, in Basingstoke, dental implants can make a big difference. The way the titanium screw stimulates bone growth means the patient will retain a strong jaw with dense bone tissue, which is more likely to retain other natural teeth. From the outside, a strong jaw looks younger, as it fills out the face around the mouth, and prevents that sunken, aged, look that comes as the jaw decreases in thickness after tooth loss.

Thanks to rapid advances in dental techniques and technology, dental implants in Basingstoke are now available to almost anyone who needs to replace one or more missing teeth. Glenholme Dental Centre offers a number of implant treatments, including Teeth in a Day – with which you can walk into the practice with missing and/or failing teeth in the morning, and walk out the same day with a brand new functional set of teeth – you’ll even be able to eat your dinner with your new teeth that night.

How dental implants in Basingstoke work

At our Basingstoke dental centre, we are always keen to underline the importance of replacing missing teeth, for the sake of your oral and general health. Dental implants are often the best way to do so, offering a permanent solution to tooth loss and one that preserves the health of your jaw bone as well as keeping your new teeth firmly in place.

A dental implant is a small titanium screw that is placed in direct contact with your jaw bone during minor oral surgery here at our Basingstoke clinic. Most people only need local anaesthetic for this procedure, which is intricately planned using the latest technology beforehand, so that it is pretty simple from a patient’s perspective.

New teeth – in the form of a single crown, fixed bridgework, or a denture – are then attached to abutments on top of the dental implants, restoring natural action and appearance to your smile. In the case of Teeth in a Day (also known as Same Day Teeth) after removing any failing teeth and carefully placing your dental implants, your dentist will carefully create a set of realistic-looking new teeth to attach to the implants. In other cases, a period of healing may be required before permanent teeth are attached.

Teeth in a Day treatment from Glenholme Dental Centre in Basingstoke comes with a five-year guarantee – as long as you take care of your new teeth and dental implants, practise excellent oral hygiene, and come back to our Basingstoke clinic for regular check-ups and hygiene appointments, they could last a lifetime.

When was the last time you smiled properly? Is your grin less than glowing? Missing teeth can cause many people to become self-conscious of their smile.

Of course, not being able to flash a smile is the tip of the iceberg when it comes to problems associated with missing teeth.Problems include not being able to eat properly, speak clearly or can even cause a sunken look to your face.These problems affect your everyday life. Maybe it is time to change things. In Basingstoke, dental implants could be a choice that will change your life forever.
