You may have seen an increase in promotion and news about dental implants in recent years. This is because implants are being made more accessible than ever, with more and more practices up and down the UK offering the treatment.

With Joe Bhat, dentist in Hertford, you could have dental implant treatment that could last you a lifetime. Implant treatment can be used to replace any number of missing teeth and even stabilise dentures, giving patients their confidence back when enjoying their favorite foods.

Tooth replacement: time is of the essence

We understand that losing a tooth can be a stressful experience. The consequences are no less worrisome. It can restrict your ability to eat a healthy, balanced diet. With Joe Bhat, dentist in Hertford, you will be made aware that your remaining teeth, especially those neighbouring the site of tooth loss, will begin to shift if no treatment is carried out.

Your jaw will also begin to shrink as it will lack the stimulation once provided by your missing tooth root. The gums that previously supported your tooth will also start to recede, creating further problems for your remaining teeth.

Another concern you may have after tooth loss is keeping your remaining teeth clean. Having larger gaps in your teeth makes it more difficult to keep harmful bacteria away. As well as having a negative effect on your breath, these types of bacteria can cause gum disease, which is linked to increased risks of heart disease, stroke, and diabetes.

Your patient journey with Joe Bhat, dentist in Hertford

Your journey to your restored smile begins with an hour-long consultation with dentist Joe Bhat. He will go over any concerns you may have and discuss your needs. Some x-rays may need to be taken to more precisely plan out your treatment.

When the planning is complete, you will undergo a minor surgical procedure in which a titanium screw is inserted into your jawbone. One this screw has integrated with your jawbone, a handcrafted crown can be attached, which is designed to match your remaining natural teeth. The final result is a natural looking and feeling tooth.

Dental implant treatment can be a daunting prospect, especially after the stress of tooth loss. Though it is somewhat intimidating, we do stress the importance of considering your options for tooth replacement. With tooth loss, time is of the essence as your remaining teeth may be at risk.

With Joe Bhat in Hertford, you are invited for an hour-long consultation in which you will discuss your needs and concerns, helping put your mind at ease. This consultation may include some x-rays, a written report, a suggested treatment plan, and some discussion about cost and payment. All of this information will be shared with your usual dentist, so that they are kept thoroughly in the loop.

Modern dental implant treatment with Joe Bhat

Dental implant treatment involves a minor surgical procedure. During this procedure, you will be given local anaesthetic to keep your discomfort to a minimum. However for particularly anxious patients, dental sedation is also an option.

The procedure involves the insertion of a titanium screw that, over time, will integrate with the natural material of your jawbone, creating a stable, durable anchor for your custom-made crown to be attached.

Implants can be used to replace any number of teeth, from single missing teeth to a whole set. Just one implant is needed to secure several neighbouring replacement teeth.

If you have any questions regarding what dental implants can help with, ask our specialist Joe Bhat in Hertford.

Benefits of dental implant treatment

Dental implants provide the most stable and durable solution for tooth loss. As they integrate with the jawbone, they are the closest thing to a natural tooth. If you want a treatment that works with your body to keep you smiling, dental implants may be a good option for you.

Custom-made crowns are made to match your remaining teeth for a natural look to complement the natural feel of the dental implants. Having healthy teeth helps keep your whole body feeling good by allowing you to maintain a balanced and nutritious diet. You can also benefit from a confident smile, without worrying about gaps in your teeth.

Losing one, several or many teeth can create a chain reaction, leading to a series of negative effects for oral and overall health. Besides losing their ability to bite, chew and speak properly, patients with missing teeth are also in danger of jawbone deterioration and further tooth loss.

The purpose of the bone surrounding the teeth in the jaw is to support the teeth, and once the teeth are gone, the bone loses its purpose and begins to deteriorate. It is a process that starts immediately after teeth are extracted, proceeds very rapidly over the first months and can even lead to tooth loss over the years as the remaining, healthy teeth start moving towards the gaps created by the missing teeth.

Dental implants are the only tooth replacement option that replaces teeth permanently and helps prevent jawbone deterioration. Dr Joe Bhat, a dentist with many qualifications can replace your missing teeth with dental implants and restore the function of your mouth fully. Unlike conventional dentures and bridges that merely sit on the gum and require replacement every few years, dental implants are permanent, fuse to the jawbone and create a sturdy foundation for replacement teeth such as crowns, bridges and dentures.

What causes bone loss in the jawbone?

The jawbone needs constant stimulation to retain its shape and density. The teeth themselves provide this stimulation through chewing and biting. This regular movement of the teeth encourages the tissue in the jawbone to grow and rebuild to support our teeth and gums. Once we lose one or several teeth, the jawbone no longer receives stimulation, causing the jawbone to volume and start to deteriorate. If this process is not interrupted, the structure of the face can change drastically.

How can dental implants help?

Dental implants actually grow around the jawbone to create a sturdy foundation for replacement teeth. This process is possible because they are made of titanium, a metal that is compatible with human body tissue. Once in place, your dentist, Dr Joe Bhat, will leave them heal for a few weeks or months, before topping them with replacement teeth.

If you are interested in dental implants, dentist Joe Bhat can help you decide whether this treatment is right for you.

If you have lost one, several or all of your natural teeth, you may feel insecure about your appearance. Whether the result of an accident, gum disease, old age or bad genes, missing teeth can affect your confidence and create much more serious health problems in the long run. Whatever the reason for the loss of your teeth, you can now restore your chewing and biting ability with dental implants.

Unlike other tooth replacement options that merely sit on the gums without interacting with the jawbone, dental implants are stabilised in the jawbone and form a stable foundation for replacement teeth. Dr Joe Bhat, an experienced implant dentist with an impressive academic record, can help you decide whether dental implants are a viable treatment option for you. Dr Joe Bhat is passionate about dental implants and the benefits they can bring to a patient’s health and wellbeing.

What are dental implants?

Dental implants are small posts that are made of titanium. They are surgically inserted into the jawbone and replace the missing tooth roots. Because titanium is metal that is compatible with the human body, the dental implants actually fuse to the jawbone and help towards the creation of new bone tissue over time. This way they are stabilised into the jaw and provide a sturdy foundation for replacement teeth such as crowns, bridges and dentures. This way, dental implants look, feel and function just like your natural teeth.

Benefits of dental implants

Dental implants have many benefits over other tooth restoration methods. Unlike dentures, dental implants do not become loose over time and do not require special maintenance. As long as you brush and floss them along with the rest of your teeth, they will stay healthy and strong for a lifetime. On the other hand, unlike bridges that require grinding down healthy adjacent teeth for support, dental implants do not affect your natural teeth in any way. More importantly, dental implants protect the jawbone from deteriorating and encourage the growth of new bone tissue.

A UK prosthodontist is a dentist who has specialised in the replacement and restoration of teeth. A prosthodontist can give you back your natural, beautiful smile in the event of tooth loss.

Tooth loss can occur for a lot of reasons, from accidents to poor dental hygiene. Depending on your habits and your oral hygiene routine, you could be at risk of tooth loss. A leading cause of tooth loss is gum disease. At your check-up with your dentist, they will stress the importance of a good dental hygiene so you can avoid the trauma of tooth loss. However if it does strike, there are solutions.

Seek help

If you have already lost a tooth, it´s very important that you seek dental help as soon as possible. There are multiple reasons for this. Firstly, when you lose a tooth, the surrounding teeth will begin to move into the space left behind. This can lead to problems with crooked teeth that may need further attention later in life. Secondly, any gaps in your smile provide ideal conditions for harmful bacteria to thrive and multiply.

Treatment from your prosthodontist

With dentist Dr Joe Bhat, a leading UK prosthodontist, you can receive dental implant surgery. This type of treatment can help you with single or multiple missing teeth. This kind of surgical procedure involves a titanium screw being inserted into your jawbone. This screw fuses with the surrounding jawbone, providing a stable foundation for the attachment of replacement teeth in the form of a custom-made crown. What’s more the stimulation the dental implant provides to your jawbone, protects the health and integrity of your jaw. This means you can avoid jawbone degeneration, which often occurs after tooth loss.

Many patients, upon completion of their treatment, don´t remember which tooth is natural and which is false. A dental implant is the closest thing to having a natural tooth.

Dental implants can last you a lifetime, if you look after them well with good dental hygiene at home and regular dental check-ups. You won´t need to change your normal oral hygiene routine like you may have to with a traditional dental bridge. If you are interested in this treatment, visit our UK prosthodontist, Dr Joe Bhat.

Many people in the UK fear visiting the dentist. In fact, according to a recent study, over half of the UK´s population are afraid of visiting the dentist and 12% of these experience extreme dental anxiety. Due to this, modern dentists try to make the experience of visiting the dentist as relaxing and as comfortable as possible. This is especially true when dealing with more involved dental treatments, such as replacing missing teeth. If you have experienced tooth loss, you can visit our friendly dentist Joe Bhat. He is a specialist in the UK in prosthodontics. Let’s take a look at what that mouthful means and how such a specialist can help you.

What is prosthodontics?

Dentists who are specialists in the UK in prosthodontics have undertaken 3 years of further study and training in the replacement and restoration of teeth. In short, they make your smile healthier and beautiful again by replacing missing teeth, and by doing so also protect your remaining natural teeth.

Modern technology for better treatments

Our specialist Dr Joe Bhat exclusively carries out dental implant surgery. This type of treatment is the go-to solution for replacing missing teeth, leaving a natural looking and feeling finish. Dental implant surgery involves a minor surgical procedure, all completed under a local anesthetic. A titanium screw is fitted into the jawbone and allowed time to heal and fuse with the surrounding bone. Once this has been completed, a handcrafted crown is attached onto the screw, leaving you with a fully restored tooth, from top to bottom.

If you are feeling particularly anxious about undergoing dental surgery, sedation is also available to help you feel more relaxed and calm. Dr Joe Bhat will be happy to discuss these options with you.

The advantages of having a full smile

There are many advantages to having an even and full smile. Not only will dental implant treatment most likely give you a confidence boost, but it will make the maintenance of your teeth much easier. Without gaps in your smile, there are less places for harmful bacteria to gather and multiply. So, if you´re missing a tooth or multiple teeth, it is worth considering the specialist treatment available from Dr Joe Bhat in the UK: prosthodontics.

Losing a tooth can be a very stressful experience, but thanks to modern dental techniques, tooth replacement options have never been better.

With our modern, busy lifestyles, tooth loss is an issue that we may struggle to resolve, though it is important for our continued dental health that we do. No amount of dental hygiene can avoid accidents that can lead to tooth loss. However dental hygiene is still the most important factor effecting tooth loss. Keeping up with a good oral hygiene routine is key because it reduces the risk of gum disease, which is a leading cause of tooth loss in adults.

Why is it important to seek help promptly?

If you have lost a tooth, it is very important that you see a dentist as soon as possible. When you lose a tooth, the surrounding teeth will begin to move into the space left behind, creating more crevices for harmful bacteria to take root and multiply. Having a missing tooth also puts more pressure on the surrounding teeth when chewing. This can lead to problems with uneven tooth wear.

Modern solutions and UK oral surgery

Modern dentistry has seen a particular treatment growing in popularity in the UK. Oral surgery to fit dental implants provides the closest thing to a natural tooth to replace a missing one. This treatment involves a minor surgical procedure, carried out by the capable hands of specialist dentist Dr Joe Bhat, in which a titanium screw is inserted into your jawbone. This sounds painful, but the whole procedure is done under local anesthesia, so you´ll be kept as comfortable as possible.

Once the titanium screw has settled into the jawbone and healed, a handcrafted crown is attached on top, leaving behind a natural looking and natural feeling tooth.

This type of tooth replacement could potentially last you your entire lifetime, as long as you keep up with a good dental hygiene routine. Brushing 2 or 3 times a day, flossing, and using mouthwash will protect your investment and keep you smiling confidently. A lot of patients, after the healing process is fully complete, report that they can´t tell which tooth is natural and which is false!

It’s no mystery that losing a tooth can cause a lot of unwanted stress in your life. It can also impact more areas of your lifestyle than you might first expect. Having a missing tooth affects the rest of your natural teeth. This is because the surrounding teeth will begin to move into the gap left behind. This can lead to further problems with crooked teeth.

If your tooth has been damaged or lost in an accident or you have lost one or several teeth due to poor dental health, there are many treatments available to you provided by dentist Dr Joe Bhat.

The use of dental bridges

In the past, after tooth loss, the most viable replacement option would have been the use of a dental bridge. This type of treatment involves attaching a false tooth to the natural teeth either side of the gap. A big problem with this type of replacement is that the teeth either side will need to be damaged to attach the false tooth. The enamel on both teeth will need to be removed and new crowns attached. What’s more, your missing tooth root is not replaced, which can have knock-on effects on the health of your jawbone over time.

A newer wave of treatment for tooth loss

A more modern treatment is now recommended by dentists in the UK. Dental Implants offer a much more stable and more durable treatment. The dental implant treatment involves a minor surgical procedure, where a titanium screw is inserted into your jawbone. This titanium screw acts as an artificial tooth root, fusing with the surrounding bone of the jaw. When this screw has fused to the jaw, a crown is handcrafted and attached to the screw, creating a natural looking tooth replacement.

This treatment is the closest thing to having a natural tooth and comes with advantages with upkeep and durability. In the UK, Dr Joe Bhat is a specialist dentist and is referred to by over 300 dentists for dental implant treatment. If you are considering dental implants in UK then arrange an appointment to start your journey with Dr Joe Bhat today.

Dental implants are still a relatively new method of tooth replacement, although they were invented more than 50 years ago. In that time they have gradually moved from being an exceptional and unusual solution to tooth loss to the new gold-standard way of replacing lost teeth. The reason that they have been so widely adopted is due to their versatility and reliability. A single dental implant can be used to support a single crown, or a bridge of up to three teeth and just 4-6 implants will support a full upper or lower arch of dentures. Here at Moor Park Dental we have been fitting dental implants in London for more than a decade.

The most important thing to realise is that many millions of patients have now benefited from receiving dental implants, which have made a life-long difference to their quality of life. Here at Moor Park Dental in London, dental implants have proved to offer our patients many different advantages over traditional bridges and dentures.

The reason that you may find that you need dental implants in London is because you are suffering from some type of dental health problem such as gum disease or have been told that you need to have teeth removed due to decay. Your dentist will have to look at the underlying cause of these issues and may need to resolve them before dental implants can be considered.

Signs of poor oral health include bad breath, loose teeth and excessive bleeding of the gums, especially after having your teeth cleaned professionally. The reason these issues need to be addressed is that gum disease can be responsible for bone loss and there is a potential for failure of dental implants if this is not resolved.

Dental implants, what exactly are they?

Dental implants are artificial tooth root replacements, normally made from titanium, which has the unique property of fusing with living bone in a process called osseointegration. When the implant is fitted into your jaw, your dentist will be ensuring that it is in close contact to the surrounding bone. This will allow the implant and the bone to successfully take as new bone grows over the surface of the implant enhancing its stability.

What are the benefits of dental implants in London?

Once the implant is placed and fully integrated, crowns, bridges or dentures can be secured in place to complete the restoration. Because of the nature of this type of restoration, you will discover that there are many important benefits from having dental implants. The first and most noticeable is that your teeth will look and feel like they are your own. Additionally, your confidence may be restored, missing teeth can affect how you feel about your appearance as well as how difficult it can be to eat or speak properly.

Are dental implants suitable for everyone?

Dental implants are suitable for adults of any age, as long as their general health is good. If you are a heavy smoker or drinker there is a risk that dental implants will fail due to the effects of these habits on your oral health.
