Stable? Long Lasting? Natural Looking? That’s A Dental Implant!

Wednesday, September 17th, 2014

297243_blogIf you’re looking for a stable, long-term and amazingly natural tooth replacement, look no further than a dental implant. This relatively new treatment has taken the world by storm and you could be the next patient to enjoy the many benefits it offers.

The ins and outs of dental implants

Dental implants are a really effective, long-lasting treatment for missing teeth. Implants are designed to act as a substitute for the root section of the missing tooth and they are secure into sockets in the jaw bone in a similar way to natural roots. Implants are made from titanium, a biocompatible material, which means that they are able to integrate into the bone; this ensures maximum security and stability for the implant and the new restoration.

Once an implant has integrated, it can then be attached to a new restoration; this stage of the treatment process replaces the crown section of the tooth, which is the visible part of the tooth. Implants are compatible with a range of different restorative options, including a dental bridge, a crown or a denture. Once the restoration is attached, the tooth or teeth will look the same as natural teeth and you can enjoy amazing levels of functionality.

The benefits of dental implant treatment

Dental implant treatment offers a host of advantages. As implants are compatible with different types of restoration, this means that they are suitable for most patients, whether you’re an 18 year old who has lost a tooth playing rugby, or an older person who is hoping to replace a full arch of lost teeth. Implants last a lifetime and they give you the same level of functionality as natural teeth. The process of integration takes place without any pain or interference with the surrounding teeth and once they are in place, implants are very easy to care for.

Take A Step In The Right Direction With Miraculous Mini Implants

Thursday, September 4th, 2014

3177025_blogWe are delighted to offer our patients miraculous mini implants. You may have heard about the incredible benefits of dental implant treatment and now you can enjoy all these perks in miniature form. They say that good things come in small packages and we couldn’t agree more!

Mini implants are a really effective solution for tooth loss and they are often suitable for patients who have been warned against traditional implants due to insufficient bone density in the jaw. Mini implants are easier to tolerate and they can be attached to different kinds of restoration, making them a viable option for many patients who have lost teeth.

About mini implants

Mini implants, as the name suggests, are smaller versions of traditional dental implants. Implants are small titanium prostheses, which are inserted into sockets in the jaw bone to act as replacement tooth roots. Once the implants are anchored into the jaw bone, they can be attached to different types of restoration, including dentures.

Mini implants require less bone tissue than larger implants and the treatment process is less invasive, as these implants can be planted straight through the gums without the need to make an incision. This also means that healing time is much shorter.

Implant-retained dentures

One of the best uses of mini implants is to anchor dentures firmly in place; with implant-retained dentures, the denture is held in place by implants, as opposed to being secured in place by suction provided by the gums and this offers much greater stability and security. Many of our patients who opt for mini implants appreciate the peace of mind and enhanced functionality they get with implant-retained dentures.

Leeds Dental Implants Provide Titanic Support

Tuesday, August 26th, 2014

18625013Dental implants have changed the face of dentistry, but what’s all the fuss about and could implants benefit you?

What are dental implants?

Dental implants are the newest kid on the block in the world of tooth replacement treatment. These small titanium screw-like devices have had a major impact on modern dentistry and they have already helped thousands of patients all over the world to enjoy amazing new smiles.

Implants are designed to integrate into the jaw bone tissue and they are compatible with a range of different restorations, which makes them a viable treatment option for almost all patients with missing teeth. The implant is fixed into a pre-drilled hole in the bone and then left to integrate; this process takes several months and once it is complete, the new restoration is attached to replace the visible part of the tooth. While the crown, denture or dental bridge replaces the original crown, the implant takes on the roles and responsibilities of the tooth root.

Could dental implants benefit me?

Dental implants have benefits for most patients with missing teeth, whether you have one missing tooth or a full arch of missing teeth. As they are compatible with bridges, dentures and crowns, they are suitable for patients of all ages with varying needs.

Implants are a long-term treatment and they last much longer than dentures and dental bridges; they are also the closest prosthesis to a natural tooth, providing excellent aesthetics and allowing you to do everything you could do if you had a full set of natural teeth. Implants can also help to reduce bone loss.

Discover The Convenience Of Mini-Dental Implants

Monday, August 4th, 2014

2607696_blogA lot is known about the stability that full size dental implants provide but not as many people are aware of the smaller variety – mini dental implants. They are really great for patients unable to cope with full sized dental implants through lack of bone density. Mini-implants can help you smile with confidence once more.

Mini dental implants

Made from titanium, just like regular dental implants, they act as a replacement for the root of your tooth. Different types of dental restorations can be held in place securely by mini implants but they are most commonly used to secure dentures in place.

Traditional dentures are only secured in place through suction and can be painful and discouraging for some. Mini implant retained dentures erase discomfort, allowing you to enjoy your food as you would with your natural teeth.

The benefits

If you love food, and don’t want to experience the embarrassment of your denture falling out as you speak or eat then mini dental implant retained dentures could be for you. They don’t  cover the roof of the mouth like traditional dentures to be held in place. This means you can enjoy your favourite foods and maintain your dignity without any fear of the dentures falling out. This stability is key to many City Leeds patients dental well being.

Sunday, July 27th, 2014

iStock_000001998629XSmallThey often say that you don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone and many of us take our teeth for granted. When you lose a tooth, it can be really distressing, not just because it becomes more difficult to eat, but also because it completely alters the aesthetic of your smile. With dental implants, we can offer the closest replacement for a natural tooth and we promise to have you smiling again.

What are dental implants?

Dental implants are the latest innovation in the world of tooth replacement and they have already revolutionised the lives of hundreds of patients all over the UK. Implants are designed to take on the roles and responsibilities of the root of the missing tooth and like roots, they are implanted into the jaw bone. Implants are made from titanium, which is bio-compatible and this means that they are able to integrate into the bone tissue. This process is called osseointegration and it takes around 3-8 months.

Dental implants are an option for most patients because they fit with different types of restoration, which means that you can benefit from treatment if you have 1, 5 or 15 missing teeth. Once the implant has healed, it can then be connected to a dental bridge, a crown or a denture and you can enjoy a beautiful, beaming smile once again.

Implants last for many years and they represent an amazing option for patients who want a long-term treatment option, which promises great aesthetics, incredible tooth function and easy maintenance.

How Dental Implants Can Benefit People in Leeds

Saturday, March 15th, 2014

4683491_blog

Dentists recommend replacing missing teeth for a number of reason, not least because gaps can affect your ability to enjoy a wide range of foods and decrease your confidence. Dental implants have taken the world by storm and now we are offering the dental patients of Leeds the opportunity to take advantage of this amazing treatment.

What are dental implants?

Dental implants are prosthetic dental devices, which are designed to replace the root of a missing tooth. Implants are made from titanium and they are implanted into small holes in the jaw bone before being connected to a restoration, such as a crown, which replaces the rest of the tooth. In order to settle into the bone, the implant goes through a process called osseointegration, which takes a number of weeks.

Implants have a wide host of benefits for dental patients of all ages, from young people with a single missing tooth, to older people who have full arches of missing teeth. Implants can be attached to crowns, dental bridges and dentures, making them hugely versatile and they are the closest treatment to natural teeth on the market. Once the implants are in place and the new restoration has been attached, you can eat, speak and smile with confidence and the best thing is that your implants should last a lifetime.
