Dental implants: the benefits
Dental implants offer the only permanent way for a dentist to replace your missing teeth. At Warrendale Dental Care in Ross-on-Wye, our skilled implantology team has helped many patients to restore both full functionality to their jaw and confidence in their smile with the help of implants. If you have lost one or more of your natural teeth, for whatever reason, read on to discover how implants could benefit you.
Natural looking teeth
No matter how many teeth you have lost, dental implants can be used to replace them. Implants replace the roots of the teeth, forming a direct contact with your jaw bone. Your dentist can attach either crowns, a bridge, or dentures to the abutments on top of your implants. These new teeth will look highly realistic, enabling you to smile and laugh with confidence once more.
Natural acting teeth
Because they are meshed with your jaw bone, dental implants and the attached restorations will not just look like natural teeth, they will act like them too. Implant placement requires minor surgery, carried out under local anaesthetic by your dentist at our Ross-on-Wye practice. After a short healing period your new teeth are attached, and because the implants firmly anchor them in your jaw, you will once again be able to eat a full, healthy diet.
Further health benefits of dental implants
At our Ross-on-Wye dental practice, we always advise patients to replace any missing teeth promptly. This isn’t just for aesthetic reasons; when teeth are lost, remaining teeth may tip or become crooked as they move into the resulting gaps. This makes them harder to clean, increasing your chances of such problems as gum disease and tooth decay, and ultimately further tooth loss.
