Dental Implants
Have you lost some of your natural teeth? Thanks to advances in modern dentistry there are many viable options. Dental implants are one of the UKs most popular treatments to help with missing teeth. Dental implants are designed to be a long lasting solution for tooth loss and are cared for with brushing and flossing, just like your natural teeth.
At Smile Dental Centre Basildon, we provide a clinically proven and safe solution to getting back a great healthy smile and being able to bite and chew with confidence.
What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants consist of three parts;
- the dental implant (a titanium screw)
- the abutment (the connecting component, usually made from titanium)
- the crown (made from porcelain or zirconia), bridge or denture
They act as permanent teeth, and do not need to be removed once they have been fitted.
When it comes to tooth replacement, dental implants are one of a number of options to consider, including:
- Porcelain Crowns
- Bridge
- Dentures
Dental implants may help your overall quality of life by:
- Minimizing oral bone loss
- Preserving your natural facial contour and appearance
- Reducing the potential compromise to adjacent healthy teeth
- Restoring self-esteem and self confidence
- Providing options to enjoy a wide variety of food again
- Improved nutrition
- Convenient hygiene
The process of placing the dental implants is quite straight forward, it is done while awake and all we have to do is numb the gum. The whole process is not much different to having a tooth taken out. Everyone we have carried out the procedure on has said that it was surprisingly easy and painless. Once the implants are ready then the teeth can be placed on them.

The Possible Advantages And Long-Term Benefits Of A Dental Implant And An Implant Crown:
- An advanced therapy available to replace a missing tooth

- A dental implant and implant crown can look, feel and function similar to a natural tooth
- Unlike fixed bridges or removable partial dentures, this treatment option limits the compromise to your surrounding natural teeth
- Oral bone integrates with the dental implant through a natural process
- May preserve both your oral bone and gum tissue
- May preserve your natural facial appearance
Dental Implants are a great option for missing teeth. They can be used to replace single missing teeth, many teeth, or even all teeth. They can even be used to stabilise loose dentures where they “lock” the dentures into place so that they don’t move.
Implant retained dentures
are secured in place onto two or more dental implants by attachments that connect to the implant. The attachments allow you to have control over when your teeth are removed for easy daily care.
Implant bar supported dentures
are secured to a custom support bar with clip attachments placed in your replacement teeth. The attachments allow you to have control over when your teeth are removed for easy, daily care.
Implant supported fixed dentures
are replacement teeth secured in place by screws on top of the foundation provided by dental implants. This option is fixed and only your dentist has control over when your replacement teeth can be removed.
Although our dental implants costs are very affordable, we appreciate that the cost of treatment can still be expensive for many people, so we offer a number of flexible payment plans to suit most budgets
