A titanium screw is implanted into a healthy jaw bone, mimicking the roots of the missing tooth. Once fitted, the jawbone will gradually fuse to the implant, holding it firmly in place, reducing the risk of the implant slipping, moving or causing further dental damage, including bone and enamel damage.
A false tooth/dental crown, often made out of porcelain, is made to match the colour and shape of existing teeth and is then fitted to the top of the implant. At Widcombe Dental Practice, our efficient and experienced dental team will work closely with you to help transform your smile, replacing any gaps with a custom-made crown for you, for a seamless and attractive smile.
Bath dental implants, dentures and dental bridges are all designed to replace missing or broken teeth – so why opt for Bath dental implants? Typically, dental implants from our list of Bath dentist treatments will last longer than dental bridges or dentures. Unlike dental bridges, our range of Bath dental implants will not corrode or damage your existing teeth.
Bath dental implant treatment also comes with a wide variety of benefits, including:

If you have lost one or more teeth and have been deemed a suitable candidate for our Bath dental implant procedure, the process below will be followed. It is worth keeping in mind that the dental implant process may vary depending on the severity of the treatment needed.
1. Consultation – where our dental team will talk you through the process and take any initial scans of your teeth and gums. This may include X-rays and 3D scans – with this information we will develop a treatment plan for you.
2. Treatment – the surgery will often take around an hour for each implant, where the titanium implant will be placed into your jawbone, just below the gums.
3. Crown fitting – after the implant has healed (which can take up to three months) your crown will be fitted. First, a healing crown will be screwed to the implant, allowing the gums to form a tight seal around where the long-term crown will be placed. Then, your bespoke crown will be fitted to the implant.
While the process can take several months to complete, once healed you will be left with a high-quality, permanent replacement tooth.
