When it comes to missing or severely damaged or decayed teeth, our team at Brimington Dental Practice will always recommend replacement wherever suitable and appropriate. We understand how much of an impact missing or damaged teeth can have on a patient’s life, and want to help treat and rectify this wherever possible.
Missing teeth can cause issues speaking and eating, and can even go onto cause multiple further oral health issues for the patient, impacting the health and stability of the surrounding healthy teeth and the patient’s overall oral wellbeing. They can also severely impact a patient’s smile and their confidence.
With dental implants, we can provide patients with the next best thing to a natural tooth. They offer the same level of comfort, stability, and security, while also promising to enhance the smile. There are several different types of dental implants available, but all are made up of at least one metal screw which is implanted into the jaw to act as the new root for a prosthetic tooth. These ‘pegs’ are usually made from titanium, a body-safe material that is highly durable and can safely fuse with the jawbone. On top of these, we’ll place the prosthetic tooth, teeth, or dentures as appropriate, for a completely natural-looking and natural-feeling finish.
Many patients also choose to replace their older restorations such as traditional dentures, with dental implants. If you’re interested in this more comfortable and versatile alternative, then please don’t hesitate to ask one of our experts about our dental implant provision here at Brimington Dental Practice.
