What are implants?

A implant is a titanium metal rod which is placed into the jawbone. It is used to support one or more false teeth. In practice, both the false teeth and their supporting rod are known as ‘implants’.

Implants are a well-established, tried-and-tested treatment. 90 percent of modern implants last for at least 15 years.

Placing the implants requires a small operation, carried out under local anaesthetic with sedation or with a general anaesthetic. You will not feel any pain at the time, but you may feel some discomfort during the week following the surgery. This is usually due to having stitches in place, and the normal healing process.

At Brighton Implant Clinic our dental implant fees are extremely affordable compared to other dental practices. In many situations, the cost is only a little more than the more conventional treatment with crowns and bridges. There are advantages to dental implants, too - an implant to replace a single tooth avoids the need to cut down the teeth either side for crowns to support a bridge. Normal dentures often mean you can’t eat or speak well, due to the dentures moving about, but a tooth attached to an implant doesn’t cause this problem.

Overview

There are many types of Dental implants the two most well known types are osseointegrated and fibrointegrated although the most successful and commonly used today is the osseointegrated. Dental Implants are basically an artificial tooth root replacement that is used by dental surgeons to support teeth restorations that emulate teeth or a tooth. Dental Implants commonly are made from titanium that can be easily fused into the bone. Sometimes dentures or bridges are
supported by Dental Implants.

The History

They have been used in human culture for thousands of years with some of the earliest known dental implants being placed as far back as 600AD by the Mayan people of South America. There was much confusion over whether these early dental implants were in fact jewellery worn under the nose, but a dental academic from Brazil concluded that they were in fact one of the earliest examples - connected to the bone of a girl little over 20 years old for cosmetic purposes.

Research was carried out by Cambridge University in the mid 1950’s although it was not until 1965 that a Swedish Surgeon PI Branemark adopted the Cambridge research and placed the
first modern titanium implant into a human volunteer.

Over 7,000,000 Implants placed
using Branemark’s techniques

These days there are literally hundreds of companies producing implants for
use in cosmetic surgery throughout the UK, Europe and Worldwide

Current research suggest that a new type of ceramic implant made from zirconia has been used widely in orthopaedic surgery for many years. The main advantage of zirconia is that its more cosmetically similar to a real tooth although more research needs to be conducted in to zirconia before the technology can be used in cosmetic dental practices.

These days Titanium implants are being replaced more and more by an alloy with
similar fracture resistant properties as titanium. These Implants consist of a
small screw that is similar in appearance as a ‘tooth root’.

Modern Implant surgery is carried out by qualified dentists who then take further training before being allowed to practice these types of dental practices include:- Prosthodontists, Dentists, Oral Surgeons and Cosmetic Dentists throughout the UK and the rest of the world.

In the United Kingdom that includes England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland The General Dental Council has stipulated guidelines for the type and level of training required before a UK dentist, cosmetic dentist etc is able to perform the surgery at a general dental or cosmetic practice.
