Smile again with dental implants in Emsworth
Have you ever been left wondering, what are the benefits of dental implants? Well actually, first of all, what even are dental implants exactly? What does the process consist of? These are all great questions so let’s have a look at the answers.
What is a dental implant?
You may never have thought of dental implants in Emsworth as an option for yourself and this might be because you don’t really know what it actually is. Don’t worry who would expect you to be the expert. When it comes to this procedure your dentist will be the one you want to talk to. At your consultation, they will be able to guide you through the treatment from start to finish. So let’s leave the specific details to the dentists, but in short dental implants are fixed to your jawbone, or if this isn’t stable enough then your cheekbone to provide an anchor point that a replacement false tooth can be fixed to. These solid, permanent anchor points provide a smile that is fixed firmly in place.
How will I actually benefit from dental implants?
What will you see in terms of benefits from choosing to have dental implants in Emsworth? Well, let’s have a look.
Missing teeth can, but shouldn’t, be ignored, as teeth don’t stop moving. Missing teeth run the risk of a sunken face caused by a receding jaw. Your teeth can fall out of line and become brooked or overly gapped. Implants then can help promote a younger fresher appearance
Eat what you like, well within reason. While you should always maintain a healthy and balanced diet, especially for the sake of your oral health, with dental implants you don’t have to rule out food or drink because of your dentures, missing teeth or comfort.
They provide a long term solution. In fact, in imitating natural teeth they are practically permanent with the proper level of care from you and your dentist.
It’s a speedy, sometimes same day, solution to a host of dental issues.
Would anything limit me in getting dental implants?
It cannot be stressed enough that the first step really should be to discuss these things further with your dentist. They may be able to identify some potential hurdles and help you address them prior to treatment. You want this solution to be long term and effective and so do they so it may mean addressing things such as uncontrolled type 2 diabetes, smoking habits or gum disease. Addressing these issues before you have your treatment will allow your new teeth the very best chance of success and minimise the risk of any potential complications.
