Boxmoor House Dental Practice has announced the availability of consultation appointments for patients interested in dental implant treatments. The practice has highlighted the provision of restorative dental options for individuals seeking solutions for missing or damaged teeth. Appointments have been opened for those wishing to explore whether dental implants may be appropriate for their circumstances.
Dental implants are a type of restorative dental work that replaces missing teeth with restorations that function like real teeth. The process involves putting titanium posts into the jawbone, which act as tooth roots. After osseointegration, which is when the posts fuse with the bone, replacement teeth are put on to restore both function and appearance. The practice commented that dental implants are a long-term fix for people who have lost teeth because of decay, gum disease, injury, or other dental issues.
The practice commented that dental implants are different from other ways to replace teeth, like dentures or bridges, because they are directly attached to the jawbone. This method keeps the jawbone structure stable while eating and talking. If a person is missing teeth, their jawbone will not get the stimulation it needs from tooth roots, which can lead to bone loss over time. Dental implants help stop this process by keeping pressure on the bone, which can stop the jawbone loss that often happens when teeth are lost.

Dr Dhivesh Patel spoke about the benefits of dental implants for tooth replacement. "Dental implants are often recommended because they function much like natural teeth, and research has shown success rates exceeding 95 per cent for the restoration process. Unlike other replacement options, implants stimulate the jawbone and help prevent bone loss, which is why early treatment after tooth loss can be beneficial for preserving bone structure at the site."
Boxmoor House Dental Practice has mentioned that the first step in the consultation process is a full review of the patient's dental health and medical history. The dental team looks at the mouth and takes X-rays or scans to check the density and structure of the bones. This information tells us if a patient has enough bone to support implants or if they need to have more procedures, like bone grafting, done first.
Every case is looked at on its own because things like general health, oral hygiene habits, and the state of the remaining teeth all affect how treatment is planned. During a consultation, the patient and the doctor will talk about what the treatment involves and how long it usually takes. It usually takes a few months to place an implant, with time for healing between each step. Patients are told what to expect during recovery and how to take care of the implant site while it heals.

The announcement comes as part of the practice's broader provision of restorative dental care for patients in Hemel Hempstead and surrounding areas. Boxmoor House Dental Practice offers various treatments for missing teeth, including bridges, dentures, and implant-supported restorations. The practice also provides general dental care, cosmetic treatments, and preventive appointments. Treatment plans are discussed on an individual basis, with costs outlined clearly during the consultation stage.
According to the release, the availability of dental implant consultations reflects patient demand for permanent solutions to tooth loss. Consultations allow the dental team to assess each patient's unique circumstances and recommend the most appropriate course of action. The practice has made clear that not everyone is a suitable candidate for dental implants. Conditions such as uncontrolled diabetes, certain medications, or habits like smoking can affect healing and may influence whether implants are recommended. The dental team discusses these factors during consultations and may suggest alternative treatments if implants are unlikely to succeed in a particular case.

Boxmoor House Dental Practice operates privately, accepting patients for both dental implant treatments and other dental care options. The dental team works with patients to develop treatment plans that address their needs while considering factors such as budget, timeline, and personal preferences.
