Solutions for lost teeth
Having a gap in your smile is not a desirable condition. The more teeth you lose, the more difficult it becomes to enjoy your food. Your remaining teeth have to work harder, and you risk further injury. You might start to avoid certain foods you enjoy because they become difficult to consume.
Dental implants in Herefordshire, from Warrendale Dental, are a long-term solution to the difficulties that come from losing your teeth. Once they’re installed, they remain in your mouth. As long as you tend to them carefully, they can last for decades. They offer a stability beyond what temporary dentures can provide, and they’re fully customised to suit your particular requirements.
A thorough process
The first thing to do if you’re considering dental implants in Herefordshire is to come and talk to us at our friendly dental practice. We’ll examine your teeth and assess your oral health. You’ll need to have a hygienic and healthy mouth, as well as a dense enough jawbone, before you can receive the implants. A bit of preparatory treatment might be needed to ensure you’re ready.
Then the implants will be placed into your jawbone by our dentist. The implants are small metal posts that look like tiny screws, and you receive them in a minor operation. Following a short rest period, you’ll then return to us to have precisely-crafted new teeth affixed firmly to the posts. From start to finish, the whole process of having dental implants in Herefordshire can take a few months.
A range of advantages
Herefordshire dental implants will improve your aesthetic appeal as well as your dental health.
- They develop a strong bond with the jawbone, which means your new teeth are properly anchored. You can bite into your food like you did with your natural teeth;
- They make a big positive difference to your smile. You’ll have no more gaps, and the teeth are made to look natural;
- They promote stability in the bone structure of your face, so you’ll avoid the sunken look that often appears in people who don’t replace their lost teeth;
- They can aid the pronunciation of words, helping your speech to become more intelligible.
