Replacing Missing Teeth with Dental Implants
Dental implants are one of the few permanent cosmetic treatments for replacing missing teeth. They offer a natural-looking and long-lasting result – for some patients, dental implants last a lifetime.
Dental implant surgery is a viable option to replace a single tooth, multiple missing teeth, or a complete set of teeth. Most patients even forget which tooth has had implant treatment since they look and feel like real teeth.
The implant refers to an artificial tooth root surgically inserted into your jaw bone. Once this has healed, an artificial tooth or replacement teeth can be affixed to the top.
Benefits of Dental Implants
As well as the benefits we’ve already mentioned – natural-looking, functional and long-lasting, dental implants help to preserve your jaw bone and help you to maintain good oral health.
This is important because it can prevent the remaining teeth in your mouth from shifting and also helps maintain the structure of your face.
Implants are considered the gold standard in cosmetic dentistry for replacing natural teeth. They are very safe and secure since they are made from biocompatible materials.
The Dental Implant Procedure Welwyn Garden City
The first step is to have an initial consultation with our world-class implant dentists. We’ll be able to check that dental implants are a suitable option for you and that treatment will be successful.
The procedure itself takes part in two stages. The first involves placing the dental implant into the bone, while the second involves fitting the replacement teeth.
In between these stages, you will need to allow several weeks or months for the dental implant to fuse with the bone where it has been inserted.
To ensure a comfortable and beautiful smile, your replacement tooth will be made to match your other teeth. Implants can also be used to support fixed bridges if you have several missing teeth that need to be replaced.
Are You a Candidate for Dental Implants?
Not everyone will be suitable for implant treatment. You will need to have enough bone density to support a dental implant.
Our specialist implant dentists can check the volume and quality of your jaw bone and will assess your general medical health. They may recommend alternative dental treatments if implant treatment is not suitable.
If you have any questions about treatment, these can be asked at your initial consultation where we’ll also discuss the benefits and risks of treatment.
