Missing teeth? Not anymore with dental implants Windsor!
We all become older, and as a result, dental care is becoming more and more important than ever before. Unfortunately, there are some of us who will have suffered tooth loss either as a result of an accident or tooth decay. In the past, the solutions were limited to bridges or dentures. Now, we at Old Windsor can offer you dental implants Windsor, a stable and safe solution to the problem of tooth loss.
Many years of development
First discovered in the 1950s, dental implants Windsor procedures and techniques have been improved and are now considered the treatment of choice to replace missing teeth. The equipment used has evolved with dental science and technology combining to provide you with a comfortable and safe procedure that is durable. The concept is to mimic your natural teeth by providing a stable platform just like your root so that your tooth does not move around.
Preventive dentistry is still the key to maintaining your teeth
At Old Windsor, we are great advocates of preventive dentistry and continually educate our patients on the correct method of brushing and flossing. We can also help with the selection of the correct toothbrush that matches your teeth and gums. Introducing your children as early as possible to our dental surgery is still high on our list of preventive dentistry. The earlier we can educate your children to take care of their teeth, the better it is for them in the long run.
Unfortunately, tooth loss does happen
It is a fact of life that some of you will lose a tooth over your lifetime through either tooth decay or an injury, and trying to cope with a lost tooth can sometimes be challenging. If a front tooth is lost, that can affect your self-confidence and make you reluctant to smile. Losing a rear tooth can make chewing food difficult and cause you to reluctantly change your diet to softer, more easily digested foods.
Implantology to the rescue!
We have performed many implantation procedures and are confident that we can restore your self-confidence and ability to eat the foods you would like to eat. The technology that we have today allows us to accurately identify the exact location of your new prosthetic tooth. This ensures that the placement of the dental implants Windsor is in exactly the same place as the tooth you have lost.
We will make a small incision in your gum and place a titanium post into your jawbone, which acts as the root. We use titanium because it easily fuses with the bone, providing a stable base for the crown. We will allow a 6-month healing period for the titanium to fuse properly with your bone. During your next appointment, we will insert an abutment onto the titanium post, which adds an extra level of stability. The crown, which is shaped and coloured to match your natural teeth, will then be placed onto the abutment. Your missing tooth has now been replaced.
Return to dental normality
After a few weeks, you can return to eating and drinking as you did before you lost your tooth. We can replace up to four teeth in a row on one implant or your entire set of teeth supported on just four implants. You must brush and floss just as you would with your natural teeth. This procedure is one of the most amazing innovations in dentistry, and you can enjoy many years of dental health afterwards.
