Your smile is an invaluable tool for expressing emotion, joy and spreading happiness to everyone around you. <\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"viewer-8hkha\" class=\"xVISr Y9Dpf bCMSCT OZy-3 lnyWN yMZv8w bCMSCT public-DraftStyleDefault-block-depth0 fixed-tab-size public-DraftStyleDefault-text-ltr\"><span class=\"B2EFF public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\">While we recognise that the past year hasn\u2019t given people much to smile about, as normality gradually resumes, we\u2019d love to stress to all our patients that we are open for business and can work wonders for both their oral health and self-esteem. <\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"viewer-2ekvp\" class=\"xVISr Y9Dpf bCMSCT OZy-3 lnyWN yMZv8w bCMSCT public-DraftStyleDefault-block-depth0 fixed-tab-size public-DraftStyleDefault-text-ltr\"><span class=\"B2EFF public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\"><strong>Patient-oriented care<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"viewer-2jtfq\" class=\"xVISr Y9Dpf bCMSCT OZy-3 lnyWN yMZv8w bCMSCT public-DraftStyleDefault-block-depth0 fixed-tab-size public-DraftStyleDefault-text-ltr\"><span class=\"B2EFF public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\">At <strong>Byfleet Dental<\/strong>, we\u2019ve always been dedicated to providing our patients with a full range of dental options spanning from general resulting treatments to advanced restorative treatment such as dental implants. <\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"viewer-ftel5\" class=\"xVISr Y9Dpf bCMSCT OZy-3 lnyWN yMZv8w bCMSCT public-DraftStyleDefault-block-depth0 fixed-tab-size public-DraftStyleDefault-text-ltr\"><span class=\"B2EFF public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\">Every smile is different, and as such, requires an individual treatment approach. At <strong>Byfleet Dental<\/strong>, we believe in treating the patient rather than the symptoms and tailoring every procedure that we carry out around the patient\u2019s requirements.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"viewer-1m0hq\" class=\"xVISr Y9Dpf bCMSCT OZy-3 lnyWN yMZv8w bCMSCT public-DraftStyleDefault-block-depth0 fixed-tab-size public-DraftStyleDefault-text-ltr\"><span class=\"B2EFF public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\">Adopting this approach has allowed us to develop a reputation as a <strong>dentist in West Byfleet<\/strong> that patients can rely on to honestly listen to their needs intently and do all they can to give you something to smile about. <\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"viewer-euvg7\" class=\"xVISr Y9Dpf bCMSCT OZy-3 lnyWN yMZv8w bCMSCT public-DraftStyleDefault-block-depth0 fixed-tab-size public-DraftStyleDefault-text-ltr\"><span class=\"B2EFF public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\"><strong>What are dental implants?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"viewer-bmm4e\" class=\"xVISr Y9Dpf bCMSCT OZy-3 lnyWN yMZv8w bCMSCT public-DraftStyleDefault-block-depth0 fixed-tab-size public-DraftStyleDefault-text-ltr\"><span class=\"B2EFF public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\">One of the hardest things a patient can go through daily is living with an untreated, missing tooth or teeth. <\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"viewer-2nt7k\" class=\"xVISr Y9Dpf bCMSCT OZy-3 lnyWN yMZv8w bCMSCT public-DraftStyleDefault-block-depth0 fixed-tab-size public-DraftStyleDefault-text-ltr\"><span class=\"B2EFF public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\">Alongside the obvious cosmetic implications of having visibly missing teeth &#8211; which can take a severe toll on a patient\u2019s confidence or self-image &#8211; there are also several damaging oral implications that an untreated space can bring.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"viewer-edcgo\" class=\"xVISr Y9Dpf bCMSCT OZy-3 lnyWN yMZv8w bCMSCT public-DraftStyleDefault-block-depth0 fixed-tab-size public-DraftStyleDefault-text-ltr\"><span class=\"B2EFF public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\">Those who lose their teeth assume that the only options they have for treatment are either dentures or crowns. Although these can be effective to a point, they are also not permanent solutions and often shift or move out of place over time &#8211; which can cause severe discomfort for patients.<\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"viewer-7n7dl\" class=\"xVISr Y9Dpf bCMSCT OZy-3 lnyWN yMZv8w bCMSCT public-DraftStyleDefault-block-depth0 fixed-tab-size public-DraftStyleDefault-text-ltr\"><span class=\"B2EFF public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\">Dental implants, however, are an alternative treatment that presently resources a lost tooth both in a functional and cosmetic sense. Our <strong>dentist in West Byfleet<\/strong> achieves this by a dental surgery that embeds a tooth-root into the patient\u2019s jawbone. <\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"viewer-e1795\" class=\"xVISr Y9Dpf bCMSCT OZy-3 lnyWN yMZv8w bCMSCT public-DraftStyleDefault-block-depth0 fixed-tab-size public-DraftStyleDefault-text-ltr\"><span class=\"B2EFF public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\">This allows for a denture to be fixed in a position that will never shift as time progresses, meaning that patients can use their implant confidently, knowing it is permanently fixed in place. <\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"viewer-fh3gu\" class=\"xVISr Y9Dpf bCMSCT OZy-3 lnyWN yMZv8w bCMSCT public-DraftStyleDefault-block-depth0 fixed-tab-size public-DraftStyleDefault-text-ltr\"><span class=\"B2EFF public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\"><strong>What does the implant process involve?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"viewer-b1b2s\" class=\"xVISr Y9Dpf bCMSCT OZy-3 lnyWN yMZv8w bCMSCT public-DraftStyleDefault-block-depth0 fixed-tab-size public-DraftStyleDefault-text-ltr\"><span class=\"B2EFF public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\">As we believe in treating the individual here at <strong>Byfleet Dental<\/strong>, we always start every treatment with a consultation and examination. This is particularly important in cases involving lost or missing teeth. The patient\u2019s gums and oral health must be up to a certain standard to effectively carry out the treatment. <\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"viewer-bkc4b\" class=\"xVISr Y9Dpf bCMSCT OZy-3 lnyWN yMZv8w bCMSCT public-DraftStyleDefault-block-depth0 fixed-tab-size public-DraftStyleDefault-text-ltr\"><span class=\"B2EFF public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\">These consultations also let our implant specialists understand the level of care that a patient will need. <\/span><\/p>\n<p id=\"viewer-5kmfg\" class=\"xVISr Y9Dpf bCMSCT OZy-3 lnyWN yMZv8w bCMSCT public-DraftStyleDefault-block-depth0 fixed-tab-size public-DraftStyleDefault-text-ltr\"><span class=\"B2EFF public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\">After the initial assessment has been made, the dental implant process typically goes something like this: <\/span><\/p>\n<ol class=\"public-DraftStyleDefault-ol\">\n<li id=\"viewer-4vdf4\" class=\"bCMSCT vBYpX public-DraftStyleDefault-orderedListItem public-DraftStyleDefault-depth0 public-DraftStyleDefault-list-ltr fixed-tab-size public-DraftStyleDefault-reset OZy-3 lnyWN yMZv8w bCMSCT\">\n<p class=\"Y9Dpf OZy-3 lnyWN yMZv8w bCMSCT\">A hole is surgically made into the patient jawbone within the gap that they intend to fill.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li id=\"viewer-b4t77\" class=\"bCMSCT vBYpX public-DraftStyleDefault-orderedListItem public-DraftStyleDefault-depth0 public-DraftStyleDefault-list-ltr fixed-tab-size OZy-3 lnyWN yMZv8w bCMSCT\">\n<p class=\"Y9Dpf OZy-3 lnyWN yMZv8w bCMSCT\">The practitioner then places a titanium-alloy socket into the hole and closes it over to heal. During this healing period that follows, the socket and bone inside the patient jaw merge.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li id=\"viewer-e8bvo\" class=\"bCMSCT vBYpX public-DraftStyleDefault-orderedListItem public-DraftStyleDefault-depth0 public-DraftStyleDefault-list-ltr fixed-tab-size OZy-3 lnyWN yMZv8w bCMSCT\">\n<p class=\"Y9Dpf OZy-3 lnyWN yMZv8w bCMSCT\">Once the socket and jawbone are merged, the practitioner can attach a denture that will be firmly fixed into place permanently.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p id=\"viewer-dsrk7\" class=\"xVISr Y9Dpf bCMSCT OZy-3 lnyWN yMZv8w bCMSCT public-DraftStyleDefault-block-depth0 fixed-tab-size public-DraftStyleDefault-text-ltr\"><span class=\"B2EFF public-DraftStyleDefault-ltr\">If you are interested in finding out if you are eligible for dental implant treatment from us here at <strong>Byfleet Dental<\/strong>, it all starts with a phone call.
