If you’re missing a tooth or teeth, you’ll be all too aware that a gap in your smile can affect your confidence and self-image. The loss of a tooth can also impact the function of your bite and may even result in the neighboring teeth shifting or becoming more vulnerable to decay, chipping, or cracking.
Dental implants offer a fixed, long-term solution to replace missing teeth. They have been in use for over 60 years. An implant is a titanium fixture that is placed into the jaw that supports either an implant crown, or if more than one is used it can support a bridge of multiple teeth.
Dental implants can:
Implants look, feel and function just like real teeth, and can last a lifetime with proper care.
Choosing between implants and traditional dentures (false teeth) is more than a dental decision, it’s a lifestyle choice.
Dentures can be seen as an easy solution , however they come with drawbacks. They often require messy adhesives (such as Polident) to stop them moving in the mouth, but many patients describe the embarrassment of having them falling and moving when speaking, laughing, or eating with friends and family.
Dentures also lead to jaw bone loss as the bone is not stimulated with chewing forces, and can cause a sunken in look that makes patients look much older than they really are. Implants stimulate the bone similar to teeth, so a lot less bone shrinkage occurs.
Stimulates the jaw bone, maintaining bone health and preserving facial structure, preventing changes overtime.
Offers enhanced comfort without the need for denture adhesive, and no dentures pushing down into the tender areas of your gum.
Anchors a full set of teeth on just 4 implants, providing stability that mimic natural teeth.
Allows a more natural bite and a wider range of food choices compared to dentures, enhancing the overall eating experience.
Can result in a remarkable improvement in quality of life, providing a boost in confidence for many patients.
