Imagine if you could have your missing teeth replaced by teeth that are so realistic looking and so securely housed in your mouth that not only will your closest intimates not notice that they are not natural, but you will forget that you ever lost any teeth. It might have seemed like a pipe dream a while ago but thanks to incredible advances in technology that have affected the way that dentists work, it is possible for you to have this.
The products that have allowed this to become reality are called dental implants and they are becoming an increasingly desirable option for those who have lost their teeth. Dental implants harness the unique property of the metal called titanium which means it can fuse with live human bone. This osseointegration means that a substitute for the root part of a lost tooth can be placed into the mouth and act as an incredibly secure housing for a replacement tooth.
These modern, replacement teeth are more realistic looking and hard wearing than ever before. They are adaptable too and your dentist can match them to the colour, shade and texture of the remaining natural teeth in your mouth. You can treat them just like you would any of your other teeth too. If you have lost a few teeth, dental implants are so strong that they can support a bridge of replacement teeth too, the robust ye light weight titanium taking much of the strain.
To find out if you are a suitable candidate for dental implant surgery then you should contact your City of Leeds dentist. They will be able to give you a full consultation to find out if it is right for you.
