Byfleet Dental: we can provide you with dental implants!
Have you got missing teeth? Do you wish that your smile looked more attractive or are the missing teeth causing you difficulties with eating and speaking? Perhaps you have developed an older looking face as a result of losing the structure in it, where your teeth are missing? Whatever your issues, the solution could be dental implants. Dental implants are a convenient and reliable solution to replacing missing teeth. They look completely natural and are arguably the closest thing to having your original teeth back again.
How do dental implants work?
Dental implants are screws which our dentist in West Byfleet will attach to your jawbone, where you have missing teeth and need your replacement teeth to be. We can use crowns, bridges or dentures as replacements and which type we use will depend on how many teeth you are replacing. A single tooth is normally a crown, several is often a bridge and a whole set requires dentures. They are securely fitted and won’t need to be removed at night, for example, because the body’s tissues fuse around the screws, holding them firmly in place. This means that you can continue to eat normally, talk as much as you wish and you shouldn’t have to worry about your teeth loosening.
Who can have dental implants?
Dental implants are a suitable treatment for most patients who are looking to replace missing teeth. However, our dentist in West Byfleet will need to examine your mouth to ensure that your jawbone has enough bone density for the implants to be fitted to it. Sometimes, when there are missing teeth, bone density can become depleted if left untreated. If we feel that there isn’t enough bone density, however, there’s no need to despair. We may also be able to offer you a bone graft first, so coming in to see us for an initial consultation to discuss treatment options is always an important part of the process to getting you the right treatment for your specific requirements.
Will my replacement teeth look different to my natural teeth?
At our dental boutique, we pride ourselves on ensuring that replacement teeth are made to complement any remaining natural teeth that you may have. We ensure that the shape, size and the colour of your replacement teeth are a great match to your natural teeth, so you won’t need to worry about anyone realising you don’t have a full set of natural teeth. You may choose to get teeth whitening for your remaining natural teeth first, and have a smile makeover too! We can then match your replacement teeth to your lighter and brighter teeth – the choice is yours!
