Dental implants: the modern way to restore your smile
Using dental implants to replace lost teeth doesn’t just restore your smile, it also gives you back the freedom of a set of a healthy, functional jaw, and eliminates many of the difficulties associated with traditional dentures. Herefordshire clinic Warrendale Dental Care offers a range of implant solutions designed to replace one, some, or all of your natural teeth.
Dental implants provide patients with a number of benefits. When compared with other options for replacing lost teeth, implants offer unrivalled:
Stability – Because they are placed in direct contact with your jaw bone (which involves minor surgery at our fully-equipped, modern Herefordshire dental practice) dental implants create a similar stability to that of natural teeth.
Durability – Dental implants have a success rate of more than 90%. You need to visit your dentist and hygienist regularly for maintenance appointments, of course, but with prudent aftercare your implants will last you for many years.
Comfort – Traditional dentures can prove uncomfortable, as they may become loose and rub on your gums. If nerves are left exposed after tooth loss, this can be very painful. Dental implants help to prevent all of these problems, and are very comfortable indeed.
When you come for a dental implants consultation at Warrendale Dental Care in Herefordshire, your dentist will use x-rays and scans as necessary to aid with diagnosis and treatment planning. To replace a single tooth, one implant and one crown will be placed. For several or all of your teeth, the required number of implants and either a bridge or denture may be used.
Most multiple-implant cases don’t require as many implants as teeth. At our Herefordshire practice we can usually support either a full-arch bridge or a denture on between four and eight implants, depending on your clinical situation.
Choosing dental implants to replace your missing teeth can have a massively positive impact on many areas in your life. When you can enjoy the freedom of a fully-functional jaw of healthy teeth, you will be able to live life to the full once more, enjoying all your favourite foods and never fearing denture slippage.
