Get the go-to method for new teeth
If you are missing teeth or are wondering about how you might replace teeth in the future in Herefordshire, dental implants could be the answer.
Implants are fast becoming the go-to method of tooth replacement, preferred by many dentists over bridges and removable dentures in Herefordshire. Dental implants use a metal screw that is fixed into the jaw bone in place of a tooth root. A false tooth is then fitted onto the implant, giving the appearance of natural teeth.
Here at Warrendale Dental, we’ve been using dental implants in Ross-on-Wye for more than a decade and so have extensive experience of this method of tooth replacement.
Why use implants?
- Natural looking and feeling. Once the initial adjustment period of a few days is over, implants are comfortable and discreet – no one would know they weren’t your own teeth.
- Fixed and long-lasting. If you take proper care of the implants, they will last many years, sometimes a lifetime.
- Easy to maintain. Unlike bridges, getting dental implants in Herefordshire doesn’t comprise your oral health. You can clean in between each tooth as with natural teeth.
- Maintain the structure of your face and the beauty of your smile in. Dental implants actually encourage your jaw bone to grow so your face doesn’t sag and you don’t lose bone density, as can happen with removable dentures.
Secure your smile
Patients ask us if there are any drawbacks with having dental implants in Herefordshire. As compared to other methods of tooth replacement, implants are more expensive, require more planning time and as implanting is a surgical procedure, it does mean there is a longer healing time before the permanent tooth replacement can be fixed. It can take 3-4 months before the implant is ready to have the replacement tooth fitted.
However, at Warrendale Dental we believe the benefits are so strong that implants are still a great option. As they last for so long the initial time and cost is more than made up for.
