Dental implants

What are dental implants

At Bancroft Dentistry, we offer tooth-like dental implants, the most tooth-like answer to missing teeth.

Dental implants are pretty extraordinary – they’re the only tooth replacement treatment option that can copy how a real tooth works and looks.

Dental implant treatments

Teeth in a day

Sometimes known as the All On 4 procedure.

The All On 4 procedure involves strategically placing 4 implants into either jaw, usually when you have no teeth, or sadly when the teeth that remain need to be removed.

Single Implants

Replacing a missing tooth with a dental implant is considered to be the closest likeness to a natural tooth possible.

They can be used to replace a single tooth or can be used to support a dental bridge to replace several missing teeth.

Implant-retained Dentures

In some cases, and because sadly there might be some age-related bone loss, your dentures (particularly the lower ones) may not stay in very well, even with modern fixatives.

The answer lies in placing implants to secure your denture.

Benefits of dental implants

Jaw Protection

When you lose a tooth, you eventually lose your jawbone too. When your teeth are no longer there to simulate the jawbone, it starts to recede.

Bone recession is never a good look for your face, and worse still, loss of jawbone can make you increasingly prone to injuries and fractures.

Implants replace the lost tooth root, giving your jawbone the stimulation it needs to remain strong and retain volume in the cheek area (helping you to look younger)!

Tooth-like Solution

Implants are hands down the closest answer to a real tooth. They do everything a real tooth would do, and once your crown has been fitted over the top, they’ll look exactly like one too.

Dental implant reviews

I had an implant today and was very well informed of what to expect, so I was not nervous. The treatment was intense, but I felt nothing, and each step was explained as we progressed. I was constantly being asked if I was alright and if I needed a rest, but I had no problem at all. The staff were very kind and the atmosphere was very relaxed.

I have been a patient of Dr Frank Goulbourn for many years, and he has always been an excellent dentist and a very caring person. Miss Alisha Dickman is extremely good, everything is explained to a high standard, and the procedures which Alisha has performed have been exceptional. I would highly recommend this practice; they are extremely helpful and friendly.

Technology

Modern technology at Bancroft Dentistry

At Bancroft Dentistry we are constantly investing and re-investing in technology to make our jobs easier, more accurate and better for our patients!

Digital X-rays – We have always embraced digital technology in order to get fast instant results and reduce the radiation dose to our patients.

Digital Intra-oral Scanner – This takes the place of dental impressions and improves accuracy in one more step – so useful if you find this step difficult.

CT Scanner – Our jewel in the crown is the ability to take CT scans here in Hitchin (without the needless trip to London as in the past) – we’ve invested in a machine that can take dedicated 3D images for use in accurately planning and placing implants as well as investigating anything dental – useful for our specialists to use on the spot!

Dental Microscope – One for us geeks! But now means our clinicians and more specifically our endodontist can zoom things up to over 30x, so nothing misses our eagle eyes.
