At the Barker Dental Practice, the first stage for any patient is a discussion with one of our expert dentists about any concerns you may have followed by a thorough examination not only of your teeth but also of your entire mouth including your gums, jaw joints, and associated muscles. This assessment will allow your dentist to create an individualized treatment plan to remedy any dental health problems you may have. In addition to this, our dentist can advise you on the different ways to enhance the appearance of your smile. |

An implant is the most natural looking and longest lasting way of replacing a lost tooth. Unlike dentures or a bridge, an implant is permanently fixed in place and is independent, not relying on the neighbouring teeth. Thus, an implant looks and feels just like a natural tooth. This is accomplished by placing the implant in such a way that it replicates the root of a tooth. A crown is then fixed to the implant. Losing a tooth is not only upsetting, but it can also affect the health of your other teeth and impair the proper functioning of your mouth/jaw. Given this, it is almost always best to replace any lost teeth and fill any gaps. An implant provides the next best thing to having your own natural tooth in terms of its functioning, appearance, and comfort. While we do not place the implants ourselves, we work closely with our implant specialist to provide a comprehensive service.
