The transformative power of dental implants
People up and down the UK are getting dental implants. There is good reason for this steady growth in popularity. In Hereford, dental implants provide a stable and reliable solution for tooth loss.
Here at Warrendale Dental we often recommend implants as a tooth replacement treatment that should last you a lifetime. Implants can be used to replace any number of missing teeth and even secure loose or troublesome dentures.
How dental implants work and what they can do for you
In Hereford, dental implants can be useable and stable within just six months, getting you back to your normal pace of life. Our aim is to get you enjoying your favourite foods and smiling and laughing confidently as soon as possible after the unfortunate event of tooth loss.
The treatment for dental implants in Herefordshire involves a minor surgical procedure. During this procedure, a small hole will be made in your jawbone just about where the old tooth root was. A titanium screw is inserted into this hole and then you need to allow time for your bone to integrate and heal around the screw.
Because this treatment works with the natural healing process of your jawbone, it creates an extremely stable anchor for a false tooth, bridge or dentures to be attached.
The sooner the better when considering tooth replacement
If you have lost a single tooth due to an accident or injury, multiple teeth or even all of your natural teeth over a long period, it’s essential that you consider tooth replacement as soon as possible.
Our jawbones need stimulation, that is usually provided by a tooth root, to remain stable. When there is a gap in our smile, the surrounding teeth will begin to sink into the space left behind. This can cause lots of problems with uneven tooth wear and other tooth damage.
When teeth become out of alignment, they are also harder to keep clean, putting them at risk of tooth decay and gum disease.
So, if you have lost any teeth recently or they have been fading slowly, contact us for more information on tooth replacement.
