Don’t miss out! You can have a smile to be proud of!

When you have missing teeth, it can be easy to slip into the trap of feeling unhappy about it, but rather than tackling the issue head on, you shrug it off and tell yourself that there’s no point worrying about it. However, as much as you may want to believe that, the reality is that when you smile, you are aware that you have missing teeth. What’s more, having missing teeth can cause further issues for any remaining natural teeth you have, and for your gums as well. With gaps in your smile, you leave them more exposed to bacteria that can be harmful. If you don’t want to lose any more teeth, it could be well worth considering getting replacement teeth of crowns, bridges or dentures, depending on how many teeth you need to replace. However, a dentist Canary Wharf will also tell you that there is a way you can have these replacement options fitted permanently into your mouth, just like natural teeth!

What is the treatment?

A dentist may recommend dental implants as the treatment you need to have your replacement teeth permanently fitted into your mouth. Implants work by using metal screws and attaching them to the jawbone, where your replacement teeth need to be fitted. The screws are fixed immovably, when the tissues heal around them. Once this has happened, your permanent replacement teeth can be attached to them using an abutment.

Why would I want to have dental implants?

The great thing about dental implants is the fact that you won’t need to worry about taking your teeth out at bedtime. You can also continue to eat whatever you like, without having to worry about food loosening your teeth. They are also really easy to look after. You simply need to follow a good oral health routine and visit your dentist for regular, routine check-ups. Alongside this, you may even find that your face appears more youthful after having implants fitted. Sometimes, when you have missing teeth, the skin becomes drawn and lined. However, by adding the structure back into your face, this can lead to a more fresh faced and youthful appearance. That’s got to be worth it, if nothing else!

Another wonderful aspect of having dental implants is the fact that nobody should realise you don’t have your own teeth. They should be aesthetically pleasing and when you are talking or eating, your teeth shouldn’t give the game away by loosening. This means that you will have a natural looking smile that also functions naturally too!

Can anybody have dental implants?

You will need to see a dentist to discuss whether or not dental implants are a suitable treatment for you. They will look at your mouth and be able to assess if this is the treatment you require. Sometimes, patients don’t have enough bone density in their jawbone to have this treatment, however, there could be the option of a bone graft to address this.

Do implants hurt?

When you have your implants fitted, you shouldn’t feel a thing as the whole procedure can be done under local anaesthetic. It isn’t major surgery and you will only need two appointments. The first is to have the screws fitted and temporary replacement teeth attached. Once the gums have healed, you can then return to have your permanent replacement teeth attached instead.

So, why miss out on a wonderful smile you can be proud of, when you could be able to have dental implants?
