Replacing Multiple Teeth

Aside from the social aspects, the consequences of missing teeth (single or multiple) on your dental health can be significant. Teeth can drift and move position in the mouth to make up for the missing teeth, resulting in a disrupted natural bite, tension headaches as well as difficulties in brushing leaving you susceptible to dental decay, gum disease or oral infections. Associated bone loss in the jaw can also occur during or just after tooth extraction, as well as natural shrinkage of bone in the area where a tooth once was. Often in these circumstances many people rule themselves out of dental implants as a solution, as sufficient bone is crucial to the stabilisation of the implant.  At one80 Dental we can help.

At one80 Dental we are passionate about dentistry and every member of the team is enthusiastic about it’s potential to improve our patient’s lives.  We take a non-judgemental, empathetic and patient-centred approach. We understand that some patients may have had difficult or traumatic experiences with their dental care over the years and that this can have a negative impact on their feelings about dentistry. Everyone at one80 Dental works together to help you to reverse these feelings; we plan your care carefully and purposefully take our time to get to know you and your history, and importantly how we can help you going forwards.  We are also one of the only dental practice in the UK to have an in-house dental anxiety management service which works in conjunction with our clinical care.

If the idea of making an appointment with the dentist straight away is too big a step, then we encourage you to just come in and have a free no obligation chat with one of our Treatment Advisors or even with our in-house therapists. The treatment advisors can talk you through possible treatment options and answer any immediate questions. It also gives you an opportunity to see the practice and meet the team.

No. Our patients are often surprised at how little discomfort they experience during and after implant procedures.

The procedures can be carried out using a local anaesthetic to keep your comfortable and sedation is also available if you are concerned about any aspect of the surgery.  Our team will take good care of you throughout your treatment and will listen to any worries or concerns you may have.

For routine cases, from the time of implant placement to the time of placing the replacement tooth can be somewhere between 3 – 6 months.  In more complex cases involving the replacement of several teeth or bone regeneration, treatment can take longer, with some lasting up to 12 months.

We must take several factors into consideration, for example the quality of your bone, and until you have been fully assessed by our team it is difficult to give an exact timeframe.

At one80 Dental we take a phased approach to our dental implant process.  We take a wide view and focus on understanding the bigger picture including how and why you have experienced tooth loss and what we can do to help you both now and in the future.
