An example of one of our treatments that uses advanced skills and technology is dental implants for patients with missing teeth.

Replace your missing teeth with ease

When you think about a tooth, it has two parts. The first is the visible tooth that everyone sees, when you flash your smile at them. The other is the tooth’s root, which keeps the whole tooth fixed into your mouth and stops it from falling out when you are talking or eating. Dental implants mirror this second part of your natural tooth. They are metal screws that are attached to your jawbone and shouldn’t loosen, because the gums heal around them. We can then attach crowns, bridges or dentures to the screws to mimic the visible part of the tooth and they stay stable, just like your natural teeth! Dental implants are, therefore, a convenient solution to replacing missing teeth, allowing your replacement teeth to remain in your mouth all the time, rather than needing to be removed for cleaning or when you go to bed. And, the great thing about them is that nobody else should realise you don’t have all of your natural teeth!

Top reasons to have dental implants

Dental implants protect your gums from being over-exposed to bacteria and developing infection. Similarly, they protect any natural teeth you still have from getting cavities, and your replacement teeth won’t ever need fillings either! Another benefit of replacing lost teeth is the fact that having missing teeth has been linked to health problems, so it is definitely worth filling the gaps in your smile. Aesthetically, your smile will look much better with no gaps, but you could also find that your speech is improved and that you can chew your food with more ease and no jaw pain. If you’re thinking that dental implants could be difficult to look after as well, then you don’t need to worry about that. All you will need to do is brush and floss as normal, and come and see us for your routine dental check-ups. Taking care of your dental implants in this way could mean that you have them for the rest of your life too!
