A stable, permanent solution for wearing artificial teeth
In Ross-on-Wye, dental implants are making a huge difference to the lives of people who have suffered the loss of one or more of their natural teeth. Losing a tooth has a huge impact on people’s lives. Firstly, it can drastically alter what they can comfortably eat, perhaps consigning them to a lifetime of soft foods. Secondly, missing teeth can alter their appearance, making them look older than they are, as their jawbone shrinks now that it no longer has teeth to accommodate. Both of these factors can then have a knock-on effect on their emotional and mental well being.
However, in Ross-on-Wye, dental implants can solve these issues permanently. This is because dental implants are fixed into the jawbone during a surgical procedure, and once in place, the titanium implants mesh with the surrounding bone tissue, which actually regrows around them, holding them in place like a natural tooth, as the bone itself become denser and stronger, filling out the jawline for a more youthful appearance.
Having an implant in your jaw also stops your other natural teeth from tipping into the gap where your natural tooth root used to be, thereby avoiding other oral health issues.
Once the implant has been put in place, it is there permanently. It is very rare than an implant fails, and this means great peace of mind for the patient. People who have been unhappy denture-wearers, struggling with the embarrassment of loose dentures that move in their mouths, getting food stuck under the plate, having to avoid certain foods, are usually delighted by the fact that they can now eat whatever they want, and no longer have to worry that their teeth appear to have a life of their own inside their mouths. This is a great confidence booster for many people, who can now more or less forget that not all of their teeth are natural.
Once the dental implants in Ross-on-Wye have been put in place, and the patient has waited a few weeks for them to settle in, the dentist can fit an artificial tooth, teeth or even a permanent bridge onto the dental implants.
