Are your missing teeth causing problems?
Losing your teeth can not only make you feel self-conscious in social situations due to the effect on your appearance, they can also affect how you speak and the foods you eat. Removable dentures can sometimes cause problems for people when they become loose or start to rub. If you would like to live your life without thinking about denture glue, whether your smile looks alright and what food you can eat, then you could consider having dental implants. Herefordshire is the home of Warrendale Dental and we are proud of our experience in fitting implants.
What should I expect?
The first stage to having dental implants in Herefordshire is a consultation in which we find out what you would like to achieve. We also take detailed information including photographs, accurate measurements, scans and x-rays. We will explain your options, time-scale and costs so that you can make an informed decision. The implants are small metal screws that are placed into the jaw during a minor operation. When they are secure, they form a base for single replacement teeth, a bridge or fixed denture. This means that they are a stable, lasting solution to missing teeth. Your appearance will be enhanced and you will be able to use your mouth as normal, without having to worry about it.
What are the advantages?
Having fully functioning teeth again not only improves how you look, it also means that you can eat a full range of food again. This has a great impact on your nutrition, enhancing your health in the future. A further benefit is improved structure in the tissues of your jaw. This is because dental implants act in the same way as natural tooth roots. So, when you bite and chew, the pressure exerted stimulates the bone and blood vessels of the jaw. This strengthens them and prevents the resorption and degeneration that can happen when there are gaps, or other tooth replacements such as dentures are used. Having dental implants in Herefordshire is a lasting investment in your health and appearance.
We look forward to discussing how we can help you with dental implants in Herefordshire.
