Replace your missing teeth with dental implants in Herefordshire
Having one or more missing teeth can be inconvenient as well as troublesome. Not only does it compromise the aesthetics of your smile, but also makes it hard to eat and speak, which reduces your self-esteem. For all these reasons you should consider replacing your missing teeth permanently with dental implants in Herefordshire.
At Warrendale Dental, dental implants are our treatment of choice for tooth loss. This is because unlike conventional dentures and bridges, implants fuse to the jawbone and create a strong and sturdy foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel and function just like your natural teeth.
What are dental implants?
Dental implants are small titanium, screw-shaped posts that replace missing tooth roots. Because they made of titanium, a metal that is compatible with the human body, they have the unique ability to attach to the jawbone, prevent its deterioration and encourage the growth of new bone tissue.
Benefits of dental implants
Dental implants have many benefits over traditional tooth replacement methods. Unlike dentures, they do not become loose and do not require adhesives to stay in place. Instead, they are permanently attached to your mouth just like natural teeth. Moreover, unlike bridges that require grinding down the surfaces of your neighbouring teeth for support, dental implants help keep your natural teeth strong and healthy. Overall, dental implants improve your appearance, advance your speech, restore your oral function, boost your confidence, elevate your oral health and improve the quality of your life.
Am I a good candidate for dental implants?
Most people are good candidates for dental implants; however, overall health and not age is a decisive factor. Patients with healthy teeth and gums can have dental implants without complications. If you suffer from gum disease, it must be treated beforehand, since it can compromise the success of your dental implants. Likewise, patients with diabetes or heat disease can have dental implants as long as their condition is stable prior to the implant operation. Finally, patients with insufficient jawbone may not be good candidates for dental implants.
