Clitheroe dentists, Wright and Schofield
are able to perform complex dental implant work. Implants are now considered to
to be a reliable and successful method of replacing missing teeth. They are essentially
titanium cylinders that are surgically placed into the jawbone to replace missing
teeth, and act as replacement roots.
Various types of accessories
can then be built onto the implants to allow the attachment of a crown or bridge,
or allow for the placement of a denture with improved grip. They can be used to
replace a single missing tooth where a single tooth has been lost, especially
in a person with perfect teeth, and particularly at the front of the mouth. A
single implant can replace the lost tooth very well, and eliminates the need for
a denture or bridgework.
