Tooth Implants, Dental Implants, mini implants and Minimplants® , small or root-shaped or even the Larger standard cylinder-Shaped Tooth Implants, are just some of the many different dental tooth implant options that Dentist Specialist* Dr.Kilcoyne can provide for your individual needs, because Dr.Kilcoyne matches the best Implant system to you, NOT limiting you to just a single system! Whether you are from London, LA, Hollywood, Manchester, Blackburn, Leeds, Bradford or even Harley Street London, there are many NEW ways to functionally improve your mouth, using modern, advanced implant dentistry techniques that we use here in Haworth, Keighley (between Leeds and Manchester) West Yorkshire, which may minimise or even eliminate extensive bone grafting surgery for Dental Tooth Implants, depending upon your individual situation and wishes.
Would you like a broken Tooth or Root Extracted and a Tooth Implant put Straight Back? Dr.Kilcoyne does many of these, but to preserve bone and eliminate Infection, it's often better he sees and treats these so as to Maximise success with his Immediately placed Implants, which could carry a temporary tooth whilst healing too ! For more choices or details about Dental Tooth Implants, single-piece (smaller, solid and stronger + no screws to come loose later) Implantology, new mini implants, Minimplants® , root shaped same day dental implants, new KEYHOLE SURGERY Implant techniques that heal quicker, dental implant bone grafts, other dental implant choices, smaller implants, immediate teeth implants, tooth root implants, minimised surgery, avoiding bone grafting or major bone grafting surgery, same day teeth, alternatives to dental implants for replacement teeth such as advanced Bridges, precision Dentures, prices, costs etc, please read below:
The Dental X-ray above shows a standard-sized single tooth implant placed (implant buried, tooth-gap still there) in the lower right jaw - it will need an extra part screwed onto the top of it later., called an abutment. This will then need restoring later with a connector (abutment), so one can join it to a crowned tooth on top. This is a "standard" sized implant because there is lots of bone in height and width, above the nerve and other anatomy that one must avoid. These Standard Implants are what most Dentists use, but their Larger size may mean you've been told you don't have enough natural bone AND you'll need much bone grafting first or Tooth Implants are not an option! Where possible, we can often reduce bone shrinkage that occurs after an extraction if WE do the extraction, sometimes even placing smaller or Root-shaped Implants with minimal grafting at the same visit or soon after(eg: 6 weeks) using advanced techniques.
Don't forget our very Special Offers for 2011 = unbelievable value!
3D Xrays are available for Implants too. Where low bone height and volumes exist and you have been told there isn't enough bone to have any Implants, WE may be able to place smaller root-shaped Implants using keyhole surgery techniques to improve the Implant site too, after careful planning and measurements. See 3D Xray slices shown below:
Whether you are interested in same-day Implant and same-day teeth solutions or buried Implants, avoiding major bone grafting surgery etc, you WILL need a detailed Implant Assessment visit so that we can give you the choices of Implants, Surgeries, plus or minus bone grafting, that can work for you ! TYPICAL Price for Implant+Abutment+temp Crown = £1800 from us, done the same-day using Dr.Kilcoyne's KEYHOLE Surgery techniques to minimise Surgery, speed-up healing and can avoid or dramatically reduce the need for Major Bone Grafting and it's additional Surgery stages, risks and trauma. Dr.Kilcoyne has SPECIALIST skills to provide not just Standard cylinder shaped dental implants which are often placed under the gums with a lose denture sitting on top for months during healing, but in many cases Dr.Kilcoyne can place Implants using MINIMAL Keyhole Surgery techniques (eg: Minimplants®) and place a temporary fixed tooth at the same visit, so you can experience fixed-in teeth from day one, even during the tooth Implant healing period of 3-6 months, if you're suitable for this.
We can even Extract teeth and replace with Implants at the same visit (after initial assessment and planning) for some patients! Dr.Kilcoyne can also place Tooth Implants where you may have been told you do not have enough bone, by utilising some of the newest Implant Surgery techniques and latest materials available. Dr.Kilcoyne has been able to do this for 70% of patients he's seen, who've previously been told they don't have enough bone for Dental Implants, without major bone-grafting Surgery first ! The Case below was someone who was told 3mm bone width not enough for an Implant, however Dr.Kilcoyne used Special Keyhole Surgery technique, delivering a Same-Day Tooth. This patient avoided the delay and the swelling/pain/risks of major bone grafting too!
Pre-op Radiographic Pilot Prep Implant + temp.tooth
Healed Implant - temp tooth removed, note good gum shape. Final Crown, no gaps against gums! Patients come to us from near and far including London, Leeds, Harrogate, Halifax, Bradford, Wakefield, Huddersfield, Yorkshire, Sheffield, Manchester, York, Leeds City, LS, Hull, Birmingham, Harley Street, Dublin, Newcastle, North, South, East, West Yorkshire, Lancashire, Cumbria, Trent, Midlands, Tyneside, Lincolnshire, Wales, Ireland, Scotland, USA etc. See an example below of the kind of instruments Implant Dentists use for regular maintenance visits.
Dental Tooth Implants in more detail below, after this timely warning about Treatment Abroad! Tempted by Cheaper Dentistry/Surgery prices abroad like Hungary, India, Poland, Africa, Romania etc ?Let's be honest here, there is usually only one reason why normally sensible people consider going abroad for Surgery/Dentistry, it's to save money, full stop! It's not to struggle with communication/understanding a foreign language/culture OR the fun of flying abroad every time there is an adjustment, complication/problems OR the lower regulation, consumer protection, worse insurance and lack of continuity of care offered by a complete Stranger in another country/continent, is it? Who though isn't tempted by a bargain, especially on holiday when food, drink, clothes ,DVDs or even property seem SO much cheaper - BUT we are talking about commodities there, NOT an Invasive Surgical Service which if done to sub-UK standards could mean irreversible complications, damage or accelerated tooth-loss for life. Teeth are not as disposable as say the consequences of buying a fake Watch that looks like the real thing at first, but falls apart after a year. You can still throw that away and just lose money, but losing teeth or coming back to the UK with massive amounts of tooth drilled away and complications could haunt you for life later and they may simply say that 'foreign Dentist' has moved on so tough - how are you going to complain or argue your case in a foreign language then? So please be VERY VERY CAREFUL indeed - there are many possible hidden dangers !!!
Certainly treating patients in the mouth without gloves on would not be regarded as safe or normal practice in the UK today, let alone better !
See Official UK GDC Advice and warnings by clicking here ! It's cheaper for a reason and many of these Countries So YES, we may not be the cheapest OR the most expensive actually, but if you can find the same Quality, Qualifications, Experience and long Track-record for less, please do let us know - thousands believe we are Good Value for the level of established Specialist Expertise one is getting. Dr.Kilcoyne is a fully UK registered Specialist in Prosthodontics ,which includes Dental Tooth Implants, Crowns, Veneers, Dentures, Bonding etc, to Restore or Replace teeth functionally and cosmetically so you can have a Smile that you can be proud of, without compromise. Doing the wrong thing in the wrong way is very POOR Value for money longer-term, even if it was cheaper in the first instance, because your teeth ideally need to last for life and are NOT disposable like some cheap DVD copy bought on holiday abroad - your Health is far more valuable and non-disposable than that !!! We hope whether you seek you treatment from us or elsewhere, that the wide range of information provided on our Website will help you in discussions with your own Dentist, so you can fully consider which options best meet your needs, budget and long-term wishes for your Dental Health and as always, Prevention is cheaper and better than Cure. Only your Dentist or Specialist can give you individual advice after examining you. Dental Tooth Implants information in even more detail below:Dental Tooth Implants are basically a titanium root that replaces the root of a natural tooth or teeth.
Would you like to explore these possibilities? Mini implants can be as small as only 1.8mm in diameter to 3- 3.5mm from major Implant manufacturers who are starting to expand these choices in their products, helping to reduce Bone Grafting needs, give patients more Implant options as well as avoiding anatomically complex structures such as nerves in the bone. Here is an example of a patient's narrow bone that would have previously been condemned as having either NO Implant options or told needs major bone-grafting Surgery:
However cases like these may now be suitable for Mini-Implants and avoid such major bone-grafting Surgery and it's additional risks! As a general rule, at our Smile Specialist Centre we try to fit the largest Impant we can in the bone available, but it is of course the bone that disappears because of past disease or extractions that is the REAL challenge, thus for the larger implants one may need bone grafts and sometimes larger bone blocks grafting as a separate larger Surgical procedure, with all of it's extra risks and complications too! Whilst smaller Implants are inevitably less strong than bigger Implants, one has to also take into consideration the INCREASED risks of doing further Surgery such as larger bone grafts, whether using your own bone (creating two surgical sites, donor and placement) or Animal derivatives or other Human sources, the healing times and success rates are lower for bone Implants than titanium Implants - the Healing Time (6-12 months) and inconvenient, post-operative pain and swelling etc, are all increased too. Of course, having larger amounts of bone back in place with larger implants is the IDEAL solution when considering Implants, though having your own teeth there healthily was probably the best to avoid these difficult choices, but circumstances may not have favoured that. Likewise, you may prefer to consider the second-best option for Implants, which may mean smaller Implants placed in less bone BUT avoiding the extra Surgery, Costs and risks that bone-grafting may have too, whilst still improving your current dental situation with fixed-in Implants. Smaller Mini Implants or even medium-sized Midi Implants may not require the major Surgery of some Standard implant systems and can be placed in areas with less bone too, sometimes avoiding bone grafts completely - this is certainly an increasingly popular choice when patients consider ALL the pros and cons as well as their personal wishes too. This is a close-up view of an example of Dr.Kilcoyne's minimum surgery approach below, placed in one visit:
If it's a choice between smaller Implants using Dr.Kilcoyne's Keyhole Surgery Techniques or NO IMPLANTS AT ALL WITHOUT MAJOR BONE GRAFTING FIRST, then you may decide the former option is your preference - we can help you by giving you ALL the choices after a Specialist Implant Assessment and report that's specific for YOU ! AVERAGE COST for Keyhole Surgery for a MIDI-sized Implant+Abutment+Temp.Crown placed same-day = ONLY £1800 by Specialist Dr.Kilcoyne himself ! Smaller implants are often cheaper than standard sized implant work and the patient can even get to leave with teeth attached to these smaller implants, so they can eat on the same day too! With so much to measure and consider, clearly an implant Assessment is ESSENTIAL for you, before making any final decisions ! Dr.Kilcoyne has also run some of the first courses on these mini implants for Dentists in the UK, so that they may offer the choices for these exciting new options to their patients too. Bone Grafts Of course in some cases, there still isn't enough bone for even mini or midi Dental Tooth Implants because the bone shrinks quickly when a tooth has been lost. Also, teeth may have been experiencing gum disease where the underlying bone is destroyed and dissolved away. Trauma may also have contributed to bone loss. Overall, the longer a tooth has been missing, the more any existing bone and gum will have shrunk away. Thus the total costs for smaller mini, midi or root shaped Implants may be the same or similar overall for a dental implant case, but these can give a clinically satisfactory fixed-teeth solution that avoids the extra-expense, extra-surgery stages and the possible complications, rejection and delays of significant bone grafting Surgery too. The picture below shows a bone grafting procedure using a significant amount of the patient's own bone, mixed with artificial material to increase the bulk and a membrane being sutured up too.
We do NOT use any animal or human products for bone grafting, only the patient's own natural bone or pure mineral alternatives. The advantages of Bone grafting are that if one is willing to wait 6-12 months, then significant bone volume can be added and thus improve the position, size and foundations of the Implants used, but are you willing to go through what is an addition Surgical procedure (more extensive swelling, discomfort and healing time than just for Implants) as well as the additional risks it may fail, not take, get infected, need another operation to remove and be worse off etc, etc? If not, then one has to accept there is then some compromise in placing Implants in less than full volume bone and possibly not ideal position either, necessitating different angles for the Crowns/Bridges/Attachments that will eventually go on top of the healed Implants one they have bonded/taken to your natural bone. Surgical Considerations: As well as VOLUME of bone, we must consider the QUALITY of the bone - thus we take both of these into account for your Implant Asessment.
Some problems encountered can be treated surgically, such as ridge expansion (improves width of bone) and compression to increase density of softer bone. Also sinus lifts (surgically repositions sinus lining) and nerve repositioning procedures are possible too, if they are causing difficulties. Again, these add another complex stage to the procedures and should not be undertaken lightly. Like all procedures, they have their own additional risks too, so do think about these issues carefully and discuss them with the Dentist/Specialist in detail. For Very Complex or Oral Cancer cases where the facial and oral aspects are being rebuilt with the aid of implants, several surgeons (including plastic surgeons) are involved with the planning, with major grafting being involved, including skin grafting. This would normally be done in a Hospital environment. Costs: Obviously, each case is individual, but a rough guide would be a single tooth Implant (including crown) for about £2350 pounds sterling ($3300), with a small to medium bone graft costing about £400 pounds sterling ($550) extra if done at the same time, so they heal together in the same time-frame. AVERAGE COST for a MIDI-sized Implant+Abutment+Temp.Crown placed same-day = £1800 pounds by Specialist Dr.Kilcoyne ! If many more Implants are involved, these cases are then more complex to restore, get a good bite/smile etc, so each case needs examining and estimating for individually. Here is a link to our Prices page for Mini, Midi and Standard Implant prices (Please remember that we are Specialists!)
This is a biological risk that cannot be avoided. Although the inconvenience of any re-treatment is disliked, re-treatment is usually successful the second time. This can save further complications caused through major bone graft surgery and literally give you a same-day solution until final Crowns or Bridges or dentures are made.This may cost NO MORE than standard-type buried Implants that need large bone grafts first AND still leave you with gaps and no fixed-in options for 3 to 6months+. Whether interested in Dental Tooth Implants, Smile Makeovers or even Fast White Braces, click below to see our Special Offers: DR.KILCOYNE SPECIALISES IN THESE TYPE OF MINIMUM KEYHOLE SURGERY TECHNIQUES FOR IMPLANT DENTISTRY. We are Accredited Specialists* in this kind of Dental Tooth Implant planning and Treatment and stock many different Implant types and shapes, so that we can chose the implant type to fit you individually, not try and make you fit the limits of say ONE implant system ! If costs are an issue, please discuss that with us at your implant Assessment - there are some schemes that allow you to spread out the costs of your Treatments, but when it comes to PRICE, we would prefer you waited and saved and got the quality of treatment you need, rather than compromise because you rush into things, want it now and chose something that less meets your needs and wishes overall, just to save some money short-term ! SUCCESS RATES for Implants: These vary tremendously between different operators, different systems and different groups of Patients. IT IS NEVER 100% though!!! These success rates though can easily decrease the more complex a case is, if you need bone grafts or other complications such as medical OUR Success rates are based on treating everyone we can - unfortunately there are some Surgeons who will refuse to treat the more difficult cases and so they can THEN claim higher success rates overall, but they may be turning away perhaps 50% of people who are requesting Implant Options - we DO NOT DO THIS, but try to treat everyone who wishes Tooth Implant options whenever possible, including Smokers or those who have had past Gum Disease but have improved !!! Are you willing to accept that risk? Implants have relatively high costs and treatment time implications, with re-treatment a real possibility.
Contra-indications to implants: Smokers have a higher failure rate with Implants because their tissues are relatively unhealthy and don't heal as well to the Implant. People who smoke also are more prone to gum infections and this can affect Implants as well as other natural teeth remaining in your mouth. Clearly, Dental Tooth Implants offer exciting alternatives for Patients.
