If you suffer from missing teeth, you may have to consider the idea of dentures. In the past, dentures have been linked to the elderly and were prone to dropping out in the middle of meals or conversations, making them a very embarrassing prospect. However, implant retained dentures eliminate the chance of losing your teeth for they anchor your new prosthetics directly into your jaw just like the roots of your natural teeth.
The dental implant procedure
As the procedure does contain some element of pain, a local anaesthetic is given to you in order to numb the area so you won’t feel a thing. The gum is then opened and a titanium screw in secured into your jawbone. Once this has been stitched and the wound has healed, your new prosthetic tooth can be secured in place. The tooth is carefully designed to closely match the natural colour of your other teeth so that no one will realize it is a prosthetic tooth. Once complete, there is little chance that the implant will fall out so implant retained dentures are a permanent fix to missing teeth.
The advantages of dental implants
At Liverpool Dental Spa the implants are incredibly stable and durable so it’s unlikely that they will ever fall out. Also, the fact that they are screwed into your jaw allows for improved function when eating, as the teeth won’t move. Other dentures can sometimes affect your speech but this is not the case with dental implants so you have no worries in that area. They are a simple procedure that can actually improve the health of your other teeth. Missing gaps can lead to bone loss around the area so by filling the gap, implants can prevent this from happening so you can enjoy healthier teeth for longer.
