Stable, long-lasting replacement teeth
When you lose a tooth, you might lose a bit of confidence, too. Whether it’s because of long-term decay or a sudden sporting injury, the gap in your smile can be unpleasant to look at. If you’re missing a few teeth, the remaining ones will have to do more work when eating, putting the jaw at risk of strain. Plus, your underlying facial bone structure can weaken over the years.
Contemporary solutions
In Herefordshire, dental implants are a solution to these problems. At Warrendale Dental, we can give you new teeth that function like your old ones did. You’ll regain the ability to bite into and chew your favourite foods, so you won’t have to opt for soft, mushy meals. Unlike with temporary dentures, there’s no chance of Herefordshire dental implants falling out of your mouth at the dinner table. They stay in your mouth permanently, and you clean them just like regular teeth.
Stages of the procedure
To begin with, you’ll have a conversation with the team at our friendly practice. In the relaxing surroundings of our treatment area, we’ll take a good look at your mouth to make sure it’s healthy enough to receive the implants.
Then there’ll be a minor surgical procedure. During this, the dentist will place small titanium posts into your jawbone. A short period of healing follows, after which you’ll return to the practice, to have your new teeth attached to the posts.
Long-term benefits
Having dental implants in Herefordshire will improve your day-to-day experience in several important ways:
- The jawbone forms a strong bond with the titanium posts. With this stable base, the new teeth function like natural ones;
- The new teeth are easy to clean, and there’s no need to use messy adhesives;
- Your face retains the strength of its underlying bone structure. You won’t develop the sunken look that can characterise the long-term wearer of removable dentures;
- Certain words and phrases can be easier to pronounce.
All of these benefits add up to a significant oral health enhancement. The new teeth are customised to precisely meet your needs, so they look and feel natural.
