How will you replace your teeth?
Are your teeth on their way out? If they are starting to fail, then now is the perfect time to find out what your options are for replacing them. Don’t wait until they have been gone for months before starting your journey to restorations. Leaving a long gap between losing a tooth and finding something to replace it with could limit your options in terms of replacement teeth, and the option that could go is dental implants. In Herefordshire, more and more people are choosing this option, so don’t do yourself out of it by not seeking treatment quickly enough.
Here at Warrendale Dental, we know a thing about dental implants in Herefordshire. Our dentists, Drs Christopher Brown and Stuart Gamble have both been practising for more than 20 years.
We know what happens to your jaw when a tooth comes out. When there is no longer a tooth root in the socket, the jawbone in that area is not stimulated by the hundreds of tiny clashes each day between that tooth and the one above it. Without these clangs, the jawbone does not renew its cells. Worse than that even, it actively starts to dissolve itself and shrinks back in size rapidly. Ask anyone with a long-term gap in their jaw and they will tell you that both the bone and gum have receded.
If you want to be fitted with dental implants in Herefordshire, it makes things much easier if your jawbone is strong and sturdy. It needs to be able to heal and integrate with the implant once it is fitted. We can give you a bone graft to help regenerate your jawbone or put extra-long zygomatic implants into your upper jaw, which anchor into your cheekbone.
But it is far easier if you come to us as soon as you can after losing your tooth to get implants. Your bone will still be used to renewing itself and will quickly respond to the titanium implant, growing new tissue and blood vessels all over it to hold it in place as securely as your natural tooth.
