If you have a missing tooth or a number of missing teeth, this can affect much more than the look of your smile. Missing teeth increase the risk of oral health problems, as well as denting your confidence and making it difficult for you to eat certain foods. Thankfully, there are many treatments out there, which can help to restore full function and give you a smile worth showing off. One of our most impressive treatments is dental implants.
Dental implants are small screw-like appliances, which are made from titanium. They are inserted into the jaw bone to act as a replacement for the root part of the missing tooth. Like a tooth root, the implant supports the visible crown section of the tooth, which is replaced by a dental crown, a denture or a dental bridge. As titanium is biocompatible, it is able to integrate into the bone, providing amazing levels of stability.
One of the best things about dental implants is the aesthetics; once the restoration has been attached, the smile will look amazingly natural and you won’t be able to tell that your new tooth or teeth are different to your natural teeth. This treatment is also a long-term solution for missing teeth and it has additional benefits, including enhanced oral function, better facial aesthetics and reduced bone loss.
If you have missing teeth, this can be distressing, but we can help! Our dental implants create beautiful smiles and will enable you to speak, eat and smile with confidence in the future.
