Dental Implant Procedure for Missing Teeth Discussed by The Bristol Dental Practice
ARE YOU EMBARRASSED ABOUT MISSING TEETH?
Have you lost a tooth or teeth? Do you worry about smiling and eating in public? Do you find it difficult to chew your food? There is an effective solution available to you in Bristol; our dental implant procedure. Dental implants are small fittings inserted into the jawbone to hold crowns, bridges and dentures securely in place. The benefits of this treatment include natural-looking replacements for your missing teeth, as well as the prevention of any associated bone loss and that undesirable look which can come with tooth loss.
Dentistry through the ages
People have been fascinated with teeth and dentistry for thousands of years, often inventing novel practices for dealing with diseased teeth and bad breath. The Ancient Greek physician, Galen, who himself suffered badly from toothache, recommended that medicines made from castor should be introduced into the ears to soothe pains of the eyes and teeth. Another Classical writer, Celsus, enumerated several remedies for toothache made from wild plants including broom, ivy berries and the juice of the wild cucumber. Archaeologists have found replacement teeth made from human and animal teeth and carved bones and ivory. In the Middle Ages, sage and rosemary leaves were rubbed onto the teeth to sweeten the breath.

Your implant system
Astra Tech EV – These implants speed up the healing process, using a specifically modified titanium surface called Osseospeed. A further benefit of Astra Tech EV is their use of Micro Thread, which is a system using tiny threads attached to the implant neck, giving optimal load distribution and stress values to the implant – meaning the implants are extra strong.
Are you nervous?
It is a common problem to be nervous of dental treatment – it is not something we do every day. People often put up with pain and discomfort unnecessarily for extended periods of time, until it becomes intolerable and a dental visit is a must. There are many reasons people get nervous – bad past experiences, needle phobias or sensitive teeth. At the The Bristol Dental Practice , we can provide IV sedation, wherein you will be fully relaxed for the whole of the treatment, experiencing no pain and remembering very little afterwards.
