How you may benefit from dental implants

When the loss of a tooth, or several teeth occurs, shrinkage of the jawbone can make your face appear older. Dental implants can help to stop this. Whitehouse & Partners can perform this operation at our practice in Kidderminster and we have plenty of experience in this field – Mr Whitehouse has successfully been placing ‘Nobel Biocare’ implants for 12 years.

How are implants fitted?

The implant is placed into the bone and the bone is left to grow around the implant so that it becomes firm, like a natural tooth. In time eating your favourite foods can be a pleasure again.

What are tooth implants?

Implants are small titanium screws, which are placed into your jawbone to create a permanent new root. A crown is then placed onto the implant to replace the tooth, or with more than one implant, a bridge.
