Dental Implants at Albany Place Dental Practice
What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants are a solution for replacing single teeth, multiple teeth or even entire arches. Dental implant treatment involves the surgical placement of Titanium screws into the jawbone, to act as the support for Implant Crowns, Implant retained bridges or Implant retained Dentures.
At Albany Place Dental Practice, we can assess your suitability for Dental Implant treatment as well as discuss the risks and benefits of the treatment as well as potential alternatives.

Features of Dental Implants

What are your Dental Implant Options?
At Albany Place Dental Practice we can tailor a Dental implant plan to suit your needs, including:
Single Dental Implants
- One implant. One Crown. To replace One Tooth. Does exactly what it says on the tin. This can be done to replace a long-standing gap, or in conjunction with an extraction.
Multiple Dental Implants
- At least two implants to replace several teeth. Implants may support individual crowns, or an implant retained bridge.
All on X / All on 4 / All on 6
- If all teeth are missing, or if the standing teeth are just in that “too hard basket”, the All on X option can restore function and aesthetics with a fixed bridge to replace an entire arch of teeth. Can be done for both jaws at the same time or for a single jaw as preferred.
Implant retained Overdenture
- Whether looking to replace multiple teeth or an entire arch, Dental implants can be used to support removable dentures rather than fixed bridges
