No need to endure the embarrassment, pain and discomfort of removable dentures. What\u2019s more, with regular maintenance and proper care, the risk of dental implant failure is extremely low.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What are dental implants made of?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>They are made of a miraculous metal that bonds with your bone. Titanium. Titanium is the go-to material for many surgical implants because your body sees it as living natural tissue. Your blood vessels and bone tissue will actually grow around it to secure the implant in place.<\/p>\n<p><strong> What kind of implants are there?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Many. A single titanium implant post can support one crown, or up to three replacement teeth. In fact, a whole row of teeth can fit onto between 2-4 implants.<\/p>\n<p><strong>How will I need to care for them?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Dental implants function just like your natural teeth and you need to care for them as such. Bacteria can still affect the gums around your implants just as with your natural teeth. This would cause your implant to fail. The key to maintaining healthy, long-lasting implants is to brush and floss regularly and thoroughly.<\/p>\n<p>If you would like more information, advice on your options or any other information about <strong>dental implants in Herefordshire<\/strong>, we can help you.
