Missing teeth can affect more than just your smile—they can impact your confidence, ability to chew, and even your facial structure. At Beech Lane Dental Care in Reading, we offer state-of-the-art dental implants to provide a permanent, natural-looking solution for missing teeth. Designed to function like natural teeth, implants can transform your oral health and quality of life.

What Are Dental Implants?

Dental implants are small titanium posts that are surgically placed into the jawbone to replace missing tooth roots. Over time, the titanium integrates with the bone, creating a sturdy foundation for a variety of restorations, including crowns, bridges, or dentures. This advanced solution restores the appearance and function of your teeth while preventing bone loss and maintaining the structure of your jaw.

Why Choose Dental Implants?

Failing to replace missing teeth can lead to several oral health issues:

• Shifting Teeth: Adjacent teeth may move into the gap, disrupting alignment.
• Bone Loss: The jawbone deteriorates without tooth roots, leading to premature ageing and facial sagging.
• Functional Impairment: Chewing and speaking can become difficult with missing teeth.

Dental implants provide a long-lasting solution to these problems, offering:

• Natural aesthetics and function.
• Prevention of bone loss.
• Long-term durability with proper care.

Types of Dental Implants

At Beech Lane Dental Care, we tailor each treatment plan to your individual needs, offering a variety of implant options:

1. Single Tooth Implants

For patients with one missing tooth, a single implant paired with a custom crown provides a seamless, natural-looking replacement.

2. Implant-Supported Bridges

When several teeth are missing, two or more implants can support a fixed bridge, eliminating the need for traditional removable dentures.

3. Full Arch Replacement

For patients missing all teeth in an arch, we offer advanced solutions:

• • All-on-4 Technique: Replace a full arch of teeth using just four implants in a single-day procedure.
  • Implant-Supported Dentures: Secure your dentures using mini implants or full-sized implants for improved stability.

Beech Lane Dental Care’s Dental Implant Procedure

The dental implants procedure involves several steps to ensure a safe and effective outcome:

Consultation and Planning:

• Your journey begins with a detailed consultation to assess your oral health, bone density, and suitability for implants.
• We use advanced imaging to create a personalised treatment plan.

Implant Placement:

• The titanium implant is surgically inserted into the jawbone under local anaesthetic.
• Healing time (3–6 months) allows the implant to integrate with the bone for maximum stability.

Abutment Placement:

• Once healed, an abutment is attached to the implant to connect it to the restoration.

Final Restoration:

• A custom crown, bridge, or denture is fitted, completing the process and restoring your smile.

How Much Do Dental Implants Cost?

The cost of dental implants varies depending on the number of implants required, the type of restoration, and the complexity of your case. While implants may require a higher initial investment than other options, their long-term durability and benefits make them a cost-effective solution.

At Beech Lane Dental Care, we strive to make implants accessible with flexible payment options. During your consultation, we’ll provide a transparent breakdown of the costs involved.
