Replacing missing teeth with dental implants in Herefordshire
Replacing missing teeth is important for many health reasons. Losing a tooth doesn’t just affect your oral health but the overall health of your body. Our teeth allow us to eat a balanced diet that is vital for us to remain healthy.
When a tooth is lost our teeth begin to move as a result of our jawbones changing shape. This is because our teeth provide the jawbone with the stimulation that it needs for the bone to remain dense. Bone density is important when it comes to supporting our teeth and the structure of our jaw.
Here at Warrendale Dental we can provide a very stable and reliable form of tooth replacement. In Herefordshire, dental implants can replace any number of missing teeth. Implants also provide the same kind of stimulation that a tooth root does, keeping the jawbone healthy for the remaining natural teeth.
How dental implants work
Implants are directly inserted into the patient’s jawbone in a minor surgical procedure. A small hole is created in the jawbone to allow the implant to be fitted securely. Over time, the bone will heal around the titanium implant, creating a stable foundation upon which tooth replacement can be attached.
In Herefordshire, dental implants can support a single crown, a bridge that can fill a larger gap or even a whole set of dentures. An implant doesn’t need to be placed for every tooth that is missing. The number of implant that are required to support multiple false teeth depends on the bone density at the point of insertion.
