Dental implants in Herefordshire at Warrendale Dental
Once you have your full set of adult teeth, they are with you for life, at least, they should be. Unfortunately, our teeth are often vulnerable to knocks or dental health problems, even if we take good care of them. A lost tooth or teeth can often lead to a variety of problems. In the past, dentures or a bridge were the only solutions, but now dental implants are becoming the gold-standard for tooth replacement.
For most people, restoring the appearance and function of your teeth is a priority; after all, having gaps in your teeth can make eating and talking difficult, it may also affect the health of your remaining teeth in the long term. At our practice here in Herefordshire, dental implants are helping many of our patients to protect their overall oral health, and to restore the appearance of their teeth, helping to eliminate the socially embarrassing effects that missing teeth can create.
I’m not sure about dental implants, how reliable are they?
Many people are still unfamiliar with the idea of dental implants, they seem like a relatively new way to replace teeth, but they have been in use for longer than you think. Dental implants were first made and used in the late 1950s, the technology behind them is now well proven, and more dentists are now able to offer this form of tooth replacement for more of their patients.
Dental implants permanently replace your missing teeth, and once fully integrated into the bone, they will look and function exactly like your original teeth. Because the implant replaces the root of your tooth, it functions in the same way meaning that you can eat all the foods you enjoy, and smile with confidence. Dental implants are a versatile tooth replacement system which can be used to replace a single tooth; support a bridge of up to four teeth, or even allow a full arch of dentures to be fixed permanently in place.
