Dental implants Windsor: Making you smile your best smile!
It’s more common than you might think: missing teeth. Many people lose one or more of their teeth and it can have a negative effect on their confidence, self-esteem and their smile! At The Old Windsor Dental Practice, we want you to be happy – happy to smile and happy to have a smile that is the best it can be. If you have one or more teeth missing, dental implants can be the next best thing to your natural teeth.
Can I get dental implants Windsor?
Implants are titanium screws which are attached to your jaw bone. Once the screws are fixed securely, crown and bridges can be attached to them. The screws act as an artificial root for your replacement teeth to be fixed to and this enables the teeth to act like your natural ones as they are securely fitted in place. At The Old Windsor Dental Practice, we are here to make this happen for you.
What are the benefits of having dental implants Windsor?
Unlike some other options for replacing missing teeth, we think implants are an aesthetically pleasing and practical solution. If they are looked after properly, they could last for many years to come and may not need replacing at all. They are easy to maintain as well; you simply need to brush twice a day and floss regularly. Another major benefit is that you can eat and drink what you like and you won’t risk dislodging your teeth meaning that people should think that they are your natural teeth.
Choosing implants can be an important step in reducing the chance of your jaw bone shrinking. When you lose teeth, your gums and jawbone can start to resorb. By having implants fitted, you are protecting your mouth from this damage and you are less likely to have issues with your other teeth as they won’t be as exposed to bacteria as they are when teeth are missing. The other benefit is that your face won’t have a shrunken appearance if you don’t have any gaps in your smile.
Is it a major operation?
You may be relieved to hear that many of our patients require nothing more than local anaesthetic to have implants fitted. Sometimes a bone graft may be required if there has been bone loss in the jaw. Once the screws are fitted, you will have temporary replacement teeth fitted to give the jawbone time to grow and attach itself to the screws. After this, you will return to the practice to have your permanent replacement teeth adhered to the screws. If you are a nervous patient, we also offer sedation, so either way, there’s no need to worry about the idea of pain as you shouldn’t be able to feel anything.
There’s no need to be lacking in confidence, when it comes to your smile. You don’t have to put up with missing teeth and worry about what people might think. Come to The Old Windsor Dental Practice and let us help you live your best life with your best smile!
