If you are missing one or more teeth and wish to eat your favourite foods, increase your chewing ability, enhancing your appearance and confidence, then you are a candidate for dental implants.
All Implant placement and restoration at Ferndale Clinic is carried out by Dr Martyn Cox & Dr Richard Oliver who between them have placed thousands of implants and have trained in advanced bone grafting and sinus lift procedures. We specialise in the use of Bicon & Implantium Implants, and are part of the Implantium and Bicon accredited team of Implantologists.
Implant treatment is now a normal, routine and cost effective way of replacing missing teeth or securing loose and uncomfortable dentures. At Ferndale Dental Clinic we offer a very professional & personal level of care and attention for all our implant patients avoiding the need for travel to other clinics for treatments.
Implant treatments are often priced on an individual basis as no two cases are the same, and payments can be made over many months with our interest free credit facilities.
"My teeth were in such a bad condition that I was extremely embarrassed to smile, from the initial stages of the implant enquiry to Dr Cox & his team, I was talked through the respective stages, advised of the treatment planned. Reassured throughout, and the follow up was just brilliant, with calls every day for several day, to check my progress. I now enjoy a refreshed confidence and I am able to smile at will in any situation – and certainly no longer camera shy. Choosing Dr Cox and his team was one of the best decisions i have ever made."
Implant treatment normally has two stages. First, the implant is placed in the jaw. Then, when the jaw has healed, replacement teeth are attached to the implant. In some situations it is possible for temporary teeth to be attached to an implant at the time of fitting.
First, you should decide whether implants could be right for you. Contact us to arrange an implant consultation and discussion and we will let you know the possibilities. Our team will be only too happy to help you with any questions you may have.
If you decide to go ahead, this is what will happen.
Implants usually have two sections - the post in the jaw and an extension that is added later when the post is secure. Attaching the extension needs a small cut in the gum above the implant. You might have more than one implant. The replacement teeth might be fixed permanently (like a crown or bridge) or attached in a way which lets you remove them for cleaning (like a denture).
