Issues that can be solved with dental implants

Tooth loss can have a devastating impact on a person. It can cause them to feel very low regarding their appearance, which can result in withdrawing from mixing with others. The once sociable person can find themselves becoming isolated and this can be very detrimental to their mental health.

Fortunately, dental implants in Herefordshire can prevent these issues from occurring and give the patient a new lease of life. Here, we explain what they are and what is involved. In addition, we explore the kinds of issues that can be resolved as a direct result of this treatment.

What are dental implants?

Dental implants are the modern solution to tooth loss. They are a means of directly replacing the original roots of the teeth using a material called titanium. Titanium is a metal that has been proven to become a safe and effective part of the human body and is also used to help fix and replace broken bones.

Implants are placed into the jawbone of the patient. After a period of healing has taken place, they are topped with abutments. These abutments then act as a base onto which the artificial teeth are securely fastened.

Loss of confidence

This is arguably the most significant issue faced by people who experience tooth loss. They may feel self-conscious about talking or smiling, and this can make them feel very down. Implants can restore a patient’s confidence to the extent that they are able to socialise and feel good about how they look. The results of this can be life-changing and mean that the patient feels much happier and more content with life.

Concern about ageing and facial structure

When a person has teeth missing and does not have them replaced using implants, then there are gaps in the gums where the roots used to be. This results in the gums shrinking to close the gaps and can alter the structure of the face, giving a sunken look that can be very ageing. Dental implants prevent this from occurring, which means that the patient can stay looking at their very best youthful self for longer.

Do not have time for multiple dentist appointments

The patient who has their missing teeth replaced using dentures will have to make regular visits to the dentist. This is because the dentures that fitted when the teeth were first lost will not be the correct size a few months down the line. This is due to the fact that the roots of the teeth remain missing, and the gums change shape to accommodate that.

The patient who has their lost teeth replaced with dental implants does not have such an issue. Implants last for many years, and in lots of cases, can remain in place for a lifetime. This means that the patient does not need to continually return to the dentist for any treatment other than the usual check-ups. The result of this is that they do not have to spend hours in the dentist’s chair and can get on with enjoying their life.
