Is your smile missing something?
Imagine being able to eat your favourite foods without having to think about it first. How would it feel to be proud of your smile and enjoy how you look when you see yourself in the mirror? If these seem like distant memories then you may be suffering with the discomfort, inconvenience or unsightly appearance of missing teeth. Losing your teeth diminishes your smile and affects the shape of your face as there is nothing to support your cheeks and lips from the inside. Remaining teeth may also become unstable as they can tip or drift out of position. At Warrendale Dental, we have seen how many people have benefitted from having dental implants in Herefordshire.
What are dental implants?
The implants themselves are small metal screws that are inserted into the jaw during a minor surgical procedure. They are held in place by the blood vessels and bones of the jaw, which mesh around them during the healing process. When they are secure, they are used as a base for a single replacement tooth, a bridge of several teeth or a full set. Your new teeth will be carefully made to suit the colour and tone of any remaining teeth and the shape of your mouth, so the result will be very natural. For our patients in Herefordshire, dental implants are a long-term investment as, if cared for correctly, they can last several decades.
Why are dental implants better than dentures?
When you have dental implants in Herefordshire, you are choosing a secure, permanent solution that avoids the need for removable appliances, which can restrict your diet, be unstable and need to be removed for cleaning. With dental implants, you can eat your favourite meals again without concern. Another major advantage is that implants stimulate the bones of the jaw in the same way as natural teeth when you bite and chew. This avoids the tissues shrinking back, which happens when you have gaps or use dentures. There is also the visible benefit of having a beautiful smile to enjoy again.
