Have you lost all or some of your natural teeth? Bridges, dentures and flexible dentures are not the only solution, thanks to advances in modern dentistry. Have you heard of dental implants Teddington? Implant dentistry offers a clinically proven and safe solution to getting a great smile back and being able to bite and chew with confidence. This is how they work:
1.
Dental implants Teddington are small metal screws that are placed in the jaw in place of a missing tooth.
2.
Once established, crowns, bridges and dentures can be fixed onto the implants, creating a natural-looking and stable restoration
Life benefits
-
When you lose your natural teeth, your jaw bone and surrounding tissues start to resorb or disappear over time. When implants are placed in the jaw, it stimulates the remaining bone to grow and mesh around the metal, along with tiny blood vessels, preventing bone loss.
-
Retained bone structure prevents the face from acquiring a 'sunken' look.
-
Implants help restore function so you can eat, chew and bite as usual.
-
Implants are a natural-looking way to replace missing teeth.

However, you may experience some discomfort and swelling after the procedure. The dentist will typically prescribe pain medication to help manage any discomfort.

How long do dental implants last?Dental implants are designed to be a long-term solution for missing teeth. With proper care and maintenance, they can last for many years, and in some cases, a lifetime. However, the lifespan of dental implants can vary depending on factors such as the patient’s oral hygiene habits, the quality of the bone tissue, and other health factors.
