Dental implants have revolutionised cosmetic dentistry since their introduction and lost teeth can now be effectively replaced without the need for a denture or bridge. They can be used on their own to replace a single tooth or several may be used to support a bridge or retain a denture. The prosthetic tooth is crafted to look just like your natural teeth, matching them in size, colour, contour, and shape of your natural teeth.
Replacing missing teeth promptly is essential to your overall dental hygiene. A gap leaves the remaining teeth unsupported, and if left untreated, the remaining teeth may move along the jaw line. They can become weaker, making brushing and flossing more difficult and can jeopardise the integrity of the jaw line and change the shape of your face, making you look older and less healthy.
With our expertise we can replace any number of missing teeth (even all your teeth) permanently. An anchor, such as a metal screw, is attached directly to your jaw bone. Once your jaw and gums have fully healed a prosthetic tooth is attached to the anchor. You smile will be fully restored and eating may well be easier. If you are interested in Implants please ring us for a no-obligation consultation appointment so your individual circumstances can be assessed and discussed in more detail.
