Dental implants
Dental implants are taking modern dentistry by storm. They are an innovative and highly effective means of replacing damaged or missing teeth.
If you have a missing tooth this may affect your confidence as it will change the appearance of your smile. A dental implant can solve this problem. The new tooth will look exactly the same as a natural tooth and your smile will look completely natural. It is important to replace missing teeth, not just for aesthetic reasons, but also because gaps can cause problems with your bite and they may affect your ability to eat properly and speak clearly.
What are dental implants?
Dental implants are fine rods of titanium, which are used to replace the root of a missing or damaged tooth. Once the implant has settled, a crown, denture or dental bridge can be attached to complete the transformation.
Dental implants replace the tooth and work in exactly the same way as a natural tooth. You will be able to eat whatever you want and your speech will not be affected.
Dental implants do not affect the surrounding healthy tissue. The titanium implant will settle into the socket without causing any harm to the gum tissue.
Dental implants and dentures
As well as replacing missing or damaged teeth, dental implants can also be used to support dentures. The implants act as a firm anchor for dentures and increase their effectiveness, as well as enabling patients to eat whatever they want. Patients who have dentures that are held in place by implants can be rest assured that their dentures will remain firmly in place.
