So, you lost a tooth or three way before you thought you would. It\u2019s made an impact on your smile and the thought of dentures is off-putting to say the least. Don\u2019t panic, dental implants in Herefordshire<\/a> can rescue your toothless grin and make you feel confident again.<\/p>\n

\"DentalDental implants are embedded into your jawbone, and due to their structure and composition they are actually treated by your body as real roots. It means that, if you look after them and treat them with care, you you stand a good chance of keeping them for decades, if not the rest of your life.<\/p>\n

The science bit<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dental implants are screws or posts that are surgically inserted into your jawbone. Because the post is made of highly biocompatible titanium, your body believes the implant is a body part, growing soft tissue and nerves around the implant, securing it and creating a very stable structure for crowns or dentures to be fixed onto the post. The combination of post (the root) and crown or denture (the tooth) mimics a natural tooth, so you\u2019ll never have to worry about food getting stuck under it or soaking your dentures overnight in a glass next to the bed.<\/p>\n

Why dental implants in Herefordshire?<\/strong><\/p>\n

With our 10 years\u2019 experience providing dental implants in Herefordshire<\/strong> you can be assured of a high standard of care. Because your jawbone must have sufficient density to successfully allow your implant to embed, we will assess your jawbone\u2019s health and address any underlaying health issues that could undermine your treatment. We then complete any dental preparatory work required. Once you\u2019re ready, we\u2019ll insert the steel screws during minor surgery.<\/p>\n

What happens after my surgery?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Your jaw will take several weeks or, in some cases, months to fully heal. However, once your crown or denture is fitted onto the implant you\u2019ll be so excited to have an almost natural tooth back the wait will have been worth it.<\/p>\n

Dental implants need to be brushed and flossed and you\u2019ll need to receive your regular dental health check-ups with us at Warrendale Dental Care<\/strong>. So why not call us today for a consultation and see if we can sort that toothless gap.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
