Dental Implants for Missing Teeth
Dental implants can be used to replace a single missing tooth or multiple missing teeth. If you have lost a tooth and are finding difficulties with chewing, speaking or simply a loss of self-confidence, then a dental implant can improve your situation both aesthetically and functionally.
Our patients in Staines are sometimes surprised to hear that dental implants may be a better option for them over the likes of dentures. While traditional dentures can provide some relief from the issues associated with missing teeth, they cannot match the stability and permanence of real teeth.
When it comes to replacing missing teeth, dental implants offer a long-lasting and reliable solution. Not only do they provide unparalleled stability and comfort when compared to traditional dentures, but with the right maintenance, they can stand the test of time and serve you for a lifetime.
Will a dental implant look like my natural tooth?
Dental implants are a fantastic option for replacing a missing tooth. Their design aims to replicate the appearance and sensation of natural teeth.
Unlike dentures, which may shift or move around, dental implants are securely fitted in your mouth. Once the implant has completely healed, you can expect it to be comfortable and blend seamlessly with your existing natural teeth, making it virtually undetectable.
Why dental implants are so popular
Dental implants are strong and reliable making them an ideal solution for replacing a missing tooth. Unlike loose dentures, they securely attach to the jaw bone, ensuring stability and preventing any slipping or shifting.
Another advantage of dental implants is that they eliminate the need for a false upper palate. This allows for a more natural and comfortable experience when eating, speaking and smiling.
Chewing with implant-supported teeth can also be better for your bone health compared to other alternatives like dentures. Dentures can sometimes lead to bone loss and other dental issues. Plus ill-fitting dentures can cause discomfort while eating and also have negative effects on your overall oral health.
Is dental implant treatment an alternative to dentures?
In addition to the reasons mentioned above, implant dentistry could be a game-changer for patients with several missing teeth who thought dentures were their only option.
Dental implants offer a strong and stable foundation for attaching artificial crowns or bridges. With implants, you can achieve a natural look and feel that closely resembles the existing teeth.
One appealing aspect of dental implant treatment is the exceptional stability and support, surpassing that of removable partial dentures or complete dentures. This makes them an attractive choice for individuals seeking effective solutions to common denture problems.
What does dental implant treatment entail?
In the process of placing single tooth implants, the gum in the designated area is carefully cut and lifted, creating access for the dental treatment.
A small hole is then drilled into the jaw bone with precision at the exact location where the implant will be inserted.
After carefully inserting the titanium implant into the socket, it is firmly secured. The gum is then stitched back over the implant to ensure proper healing.
This crucial step allows the implant to integrate with the jaw bone over 6 weeks to 6 months, allowing for a strong and stable foundation. The bone tissue has the remarkable ability to securely attach itself to the rough surface of the implant.
The health of your teeth and gums will be assessed by your dentist before any oral surgery can go ahead. This is to ensure there are no signs of gum disease which would need to be treated first.
Nervous patient?
We specialise in treating nervous patients and can provide conscious sedation where necessary. Dental implants are usually fitted under local anaesthetic but sedation can be used if requested.
