Why are dental implants so popular to replace missing teeth?
An excellent choice for patients who have lost natural teeth and are looking for a suitable option to replace them is to have dental implants Windsor. Not only do dental implants Windsor offer relatively long-term value, these dental prostheses are also desirable as they directly contribute to overall quality of everyday life.
At Old Windsor, our dental practice looks to those forward-thinking dental treatments and procedures including quality dental implants Windsor that offer patients a high rate of efficacy. We also strive to provide a patient-centred approach to dental care so that patients enjoy a positive patient experience, this is very important if patients are to maintain a proactive approach towards their oral health.
There are a few areas of concern when patients lose natural teeth. These include the impact on the look and function of the mouth, leading patients to feel embarrassed every time they open their mouths to speak or to smile. This awkwardness can be easily avoided with tooth replacement implants that stand as the next best thing to having natural teeth. We take a look at all those reasons why this is so.
Reasons patients opt for dental implants
The natural look of tooth replacement implants makes it so that it is nearly impossible to tell them apart from real teeth. It is this ability that gives patients their smiles back and the confidence to socialise and engage with others.
Not only do they look like real teeth, but artificial tooth implants also function like them too – it all comes down to the simple yet highly effective design. There are two parts to the tooth implant system; the dental crown that sits visibly above the gum line and the metal abutment (metal rod-like tooth root) that is placed surgically into the jawbone and which anchors the crown to the jaw.
When looking for natural-like solutions, look to nature and this is precisely why dental implants work so well. This life-like design gives the dental replacement stability and long-term, lasting value. Patients can eat, speak, smile and laugh without any worry of embarrassment so long as they care for their implants.
Tooth replacement implants serve another sought-after function – they protect dental health by preserving jawbone quality and preventing natural teeth adjacent to the lost tooth site from moving out of position. Like actual tooth roots, the metal abutment in implants serves to stimulate the jawbone, maintaining its growth. If this stimulus is lost when teeth fall out, the jawbone density starts to deteriorate and the face adopts a shrunken, aged look.
Another huge plus in favour of implants is how incredibly easy they are to care for. Maintaining dental implants is just as easy as it is to look after natural teeth – the trick is in a consistent and meticulous dentist-approved oral hygiene regime at home, daily brushing and flossing. We also strongly advise keeping to scheduled check-up appointments with our friendly dentist.
The first step to determining whether dental implants are the right solution for you is to give us a call at Old Windsor to arrange an appointment with our very experienced implant dentist. We will provide a professional consultation to assess your oral health situation and address any further questions you may have about the treatment.
