The Croft Dental & Implant Practice has announced the availability of consultation appointments for new private patients interested in dental implant treatments. The update reflects the practice's provision of restorative dental options for individuals seeking solutions for missing or damaged teeth. Appointments have been opened for those wishing to explore whether dental implants may be appropriate for their circumstances.
Dental implants are a restorative dental treatment used to replace missing teeth with artificial alternatives that function like natural teeth. The procedure involves placing titanium posts into the jawbone, which act as artificial tooth roots. Once these posts have fused with the bone through a process called osseointegration, replacement teeth are attached to restore both function and appearance. According to the announcement, dental implants offer a long-term solution for people who have lost teeth due to decay, gum disease, injury, or other dental problems.
The practice said that dental implants are different from other ways to replace teeth, like dentures or bridges, because they are directly attached to the jawbone. This method keeps the jawbone structure stable while eating and talking. Over time, missing teeth can cause bone loss because the jawbone doesn't get stimulation from the roots of the teeth anymore. Dental implants help stop this process by keeping pressure on the bone, which can stop the damage that often happens when teeth are lost.
The Croft Dental & Implant Practice has confirmed that the consultation process begins with a thorough assessment of the patient's dental health and medical history. The dental team examines the mouth and takes X-rays or scans to evaluate bone density and structure. This information determines whether a patient has sufficient bone to support implants or whether additional procedures, such as bone grafting, may be needed first. Each case is assessed individually, as factors like overall health, oral hygiene habits, and the condition of remaining teeth all influence treatment planning.

Single dental implants are used to replace one missing tooth without affecting neighbouring teeth. The procedure involves placing a single titanium post into the jawbone at the site of the missing tooth. Once the implant has integrated with the bone, an abutment is attached to the post, followed by a crown that matches the colour and shape of surrounding teeth. The practice noted that single dental implants provide a standalone solution that doesn't require grinding down adjacent teeth, as would be necessary for a traditional bridge.
Consultations for single dental implants include a discussion about what the treatment involves and how long the process typically takes. The dental team explains that implant placement usually requires several months from start to finish, allowing time for healing between stages. Patients receive information about what to expect during recovery and how to care for the implant site while it heals. The consultation also covers any potential complications and what steps can be taken to minimise risks.
The practice has made clear that not everyone is a suitable candidate for dental implants. Conditions such as uncontrolled diabetes, certain medications, or habits like smoking can affect healing and may influence whether implants are recommended. The dental team discusses these factors during consultations and may suggest alternative treatments if implants are unlikely to succeed in a particular case.

All-On-4 dental implants represent another treatment option available at The Croft Dental & Implant Practice. This approach is designed for patients who are missing most or all of their teeth in one or both jaws. All-On-4 implants use four strategically positioned titanium posts to support a full arch of replacement teeth, eliminating the need for an individual implant for each missing tooth. According to the announcement, this method can often be completed more quickly than placing multiple individual implants and may be suitable for patients with some degree of bone loss.
The practice noted that All-On-4 dental implants offer a fixed solution that doesn't need to be removed for cleaning, unlike traditional dentures. The replacement teeth are secured to the implants and remain in place permanently, providing stability during eating and speaking. Patients considering All-On-4 implants undergo the same thorough assessment process to determine suitability, with particular attention paid to bone structure and overall oral health.
Consultations for All-On-4 dental implants include a detailed explanation of how the procedure works and what patients can expect during treatment and recovery. The dental team discusses the timeline involved and any preparatory work that may be needed, such as tooth extractions or treatment of gum disease. Patients have the opportunity to ask questions about the procedure and to understand what commitments are required in terms of follow-up appointments and ongoing maintenance.
