Dental implants<\/b><\/a> are now one of the most poplar ways to replace a missing tooth or teeth. A dental implant<\/b><\/a> <\/b>is a titanium screw that is placed into the jaw to act as an anchor for a crown<\/b><\/a>, bridge or denture<\/b><\/a> depending on the number of teeth to be replaced.<\/p>\n

Are you still unsure if dental implant<\/b><\/a>s <\/b>are the right solution for you? In this month\u2019s blog we look at the benefits of dental implant<\/b><\/a>s <\/b>to replace your missing teeth.<\/p>\n

Benefits of dental implants<\/b><\/p>\n

$\"mar18_blog_002\"$ <\/p>\n

Dental implants<\/b><\/a> are the closest possible replacement to your natural teeth and if they are cared for properly could last for at least 10 years.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
Dental implants<\/b><\/a> <\/b>have the highest success rate of any implantation treatment. However as with all implants, there is no 100% guarantee of success.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
Dental implants<\/b><\/a> can be used to support crown<\/b><\/a>s<\/b>, bridges or denture<\/b><\/a>s<\/b>. This means you may not have to have dental implant<\/b><\/a>s<\/b> to replace each missing tooth, as they can support several false teeth.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
By placing an dental implant<\/b><\/a> into your jaw it can help to promote the growth of new bone and reduce the risk of bone loss.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

\n
Over the long term dental implant<\/b><\/a>s<\/b> can provide a cost-effective solution to replace missing teeth. Denture<\/b><\/a>s<\/b> or bridges may need to be replaced over time so can easily outweigh the higher initial cost of dental implant<\/b><\/a>s<\/b>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
Denture<\/b><\/a>s<\/b> can move around when you talk, eat and smile affecting your confidence. However, teeth attached to a dental implant<\/b><\/a> do not cause this problem because they are anchored firmly into your jaw.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
Dental Implant Treatment<\/b><\/p>\n
$\"mar18_blog_004\"$ Prior to any treatment the dentist<\/b><\/a> will complete a full assessment of your teeth and gums. They will also take x-rays to determine the level and health of the bone in your jaw. If the bone is not healthy enough or there is not a sufficient amount it may be necessary to perform a bone graft prior to dental implant<\/b><\/a> <\/b>placement.<\/p>\n
Dental implants<\/b><\/a> are placed under local anaesthetic. You may experience some discomfort in the week following surgery as the bone begins to fuse to the dental implant<\/b><\/a>. This will then be left for 3-5 months to form a secure foundation and for the bone to grow around the dental implant<\/b><\/a>.<\/b><\/p>\n
Once the dental implant<\/b><\/a> <\/b>has fully healed an abutment is fitted over the top, which will support the crown, bridge or denture<\/b><\/a>. Depending on the number of teeth to be replaced it may be necessary to have more than one dental implant<\/b><\/a> to support a bridge or denture<\/b><\/a>.<\/p>\n
$\"mar18_blog_005\"$ Prior to starting any treatment, the dentist<\/b><\/a> will provide you with a full written treatment plan explaining exacting what treatment will be carried out and the estimated cost.<\/p>\n
Once in place a dental implant<\/b><\/a> should be no more difficult to look after than your natural teeth and can be cared for with a good oral hygiene routine and regular dental and hygienist appointments<\/b><\/a>.<\/p>\n
