Dental implants: the ideal solution for tooth loss
When we experience tooth loss, the shape of our jaws starts to change. This is because our jawbones need stimulation from the roots of our teeth to remain stable. This is why it´s vitally important to begin looking for help as soon as possible in the unfortunate event of tooth loss.
At Warrendale Dental in Herefordshire, dental implants are available to our patients who have experienced tooth loss, whether it is the loss of one, several or even a mouthful of teeth.
Why more and more dentists recommend dental implants in Herefordshire
There are many reasons why dental implants are an ideal solution for restoring missing teeth. Dental implants offer the most stable and durable replacement for natural teeth. Once you have had an implant placed, it can last you a lifetime, providing that you look after it well. What’s more dental implants also protect the health and structure of your jawbone, which often deteriorates after tooth loss.
In Herefordshire, dental implants can be offered as the solution for a range of issues. The most common use for placing of a dental implant is the loss of a single tooth, but they can be implemented to replace any number of teeth as a single dental implant can support multiple replacement teeth. They can also be used to stabilise dentures. With implants placed, you can have your existing dentures attached or new tailor-made dentures attached.
Modern technology behind it all
Getting implants involves a minor surgical procedure. We understand that this can sound intimidating, but we try to make it as easy and stress-free as possible. The procedure is usually carried out under local anesthetic so you will hardly feel a thing.
The procedure involves the insertion of a titanium screw into the jawbone. Once this screw has integrated with the material of the jaw and the gums have healed around the screw, a false tooth or crown can be attached on top, leaving behind a natural looking and natural feeling tooth. As the screw completely integrates with the jawbone, your reconstructed teeth will be far more stable than with traditional dentures.
After completion of the treatment, you will hardly be able to tell which tooth is false and which is natural.
