Why replace missing teeth with dental implants?

After losing a tooth, you might be weighing up your options and wondering if, and why you should replace missing teeth with dental implants.

 

Aside from the fact you might have a visible gap, dental implants can also play an important role in supporting your jaw bone where your missing tooth once was. They’re an effective way to replace the feeling of a missing tooth, and to restore your natural-looking smile.

 

Dental implants also offer a long-lasting solution with non-invasive treatment that doesn’t require any drilling into neighbouring teeth. And aside from how they look and feel, which should be similar to a natural tooth, dental implants can also improve your oral health too.

Why You Should Consider Investing in a Dental Implant

 

Better oral health

 

Most dental implants are made from titanium, which is compatible with the body and creates a healthy environment for your implant. Dental implants can’t develop cavities, so they can help you to maintain better oral health with adequate care.

 

Aesthetically pleasing

 

Dental implants are a great way to restore your natural smile and get an aesthetically pleasing look. They are a permanent tooth replacement solution that can give you the confidence to smile again. With dental implants, you can have a beautiful and healthy smile that will last for years to come.

 

Comfortable and long-lasting

 

With proper care and maintenance, a dental implant can last a lifetime, providing you with improved oral health and an attractive smile. Investing in a dental implant now can save you time and money in the future by preventing additional procedures such as bone grafts or additional tooth replacements.

 

Great alternative to crowns and bridges

 

Dental implants are much more comfortable compared to dentures or bridges. You can expect improved stability, better oral health and greater aesthetic appeal. Dental implants also allow for easier chewing and speaking compared to other tooth replacement solutions.

 

What are Dental Implants and How Do They Work?

 

Dental implants are a type of dental prosthesis, which is designed to replace missing teeth. They’re inserted into the jawbone through a surgical procedure.

 

Made from a titanium screw and fitted with a realistic-looking crown, a dental implant acts and looks just like your missing tooth. 

 

What Does the Procedure Involve?

 

Dental implants with Face Teeth Smile will take around 3 months from start to completion, depending on the patient’s circumstances. The process involves a set of complex steps to make sure the implant is properly set in place.

 

At Face Teeth Smile, we use the latest in digital technology to make the process accurate and precise. First, we complete a pre-implantation examination using a 3D cone beam CT scan to see a detailed view of your jaw. Using that and a 3D scan of the teeth, we ensure that the implant will be safely placed around any anatomy.

 

When it’s time for the implant to be fitted, a titanium screw will be placed into the jawbone as a replacement for the missing tooth. This will require some time to heal, since we need to make sure it’s securely bonded to the bone before a crown can be used to replace the missing tooth.

 

Our techniques combined with the latest technology ensure surgery and healing times are quicker, with minimal risk of incorrectly placing the dental implant.
