Dental implants for replacing missing teeth
Tooth loss as an adult can be a traumatic situation to find yourself in. If you have lost a tooth then you need to speak to us at Smilecare Dental Centre and find out about replacing the tooth as soon as possible to prevent more missing teeth. Missing teeth can have a huge range of consequences. Not only does it affect the appearance of your smile, it can affect the appearance of your whole face and make you look much older than you actually are. Missing teeth also have negative connotations, people may assume that you do not look after yourself properly and many people may find you less attractive than those with healthy teeth. It can affect your self-confidence and your self-esteem. The sooner you speak to us at Smilecare Dental Centre the quicker we can put together a tailored treatment plan for you. We can also help reduce the complications that you will face.
Effects of tooth loss
A missing tooth can quickly affect the rest of your teeth. They can become crooked or wonky as they try to fill the gap left by the missing tooth. Gum recession and bone decay can cause the teeth to become weak and soon you will notice that they also become wobbly and you may be affected by further missing teeth. Tooth loss can also affect the way you eat and speak. You may not be able to eat all your favourite foods anymore and you may not be able to pronounce all your words correctly. This can be embarrassing and again can lower your self-confidence. Overall, missing teeth can have a negative impact on all aspects of your life. You need to speak to us at Smile Care Dental Centre and we will decide on the best tooth replacement option for you.
Dental implants may be the solution
Here at Smilecare Dental Centre we prefer dental implants Archway for replacing your missing teeth. Dental implants Archway are small medical grade titanium screws that are designed to replace the root of your missing tooth. Dental implants Archway are biocompatible which means they integrate into the jawbone without causing any adverse reactions or side effects. Rather they become a permanent fixture in your mouth. Dental implants have been used for over 60 years. They have a success rate of approximately 95%.
We will make sure that dental implants are suitable for you. To do this we will carry out an X-ray as well as an intraoral scan of your mouth, making sure that there is sufficient healthy jawbone to hold the implant in place. Where necessary you will be given a bone graft. This will help strengthen your mouth further and will hold the implant in place for the rest of your life. Dental implants restore the appearance of your smile and your face. At the same time they restore the full function of your mouth. There are significant advantages of dental implants in comparison to other restorative dental treatments, which is why they are the treatment of choice here at Smilecare Dental Centre.
