Revitalising your smile with oral implants
My tooth is missing
When your smile becomes broken as a result of tooth loss, it can lead to unhappy thoughts about your self-image and how your smile appears to the world. However, tooth loss is common and although image does play an important role, there are other more pressing problems that can occur as a result of a lost tooth.
Due to the gap within your smile, your teeth can become harder to clean which in turn leads to a higher risk of infection. The plaque can begin to build up around the area where the tooth is missing and in time create further problems, including an increase in risk to the surrounding teeth. After all, as one tooth goes missing the structure of the smile can become compromised.
For those looking to restore their smile and make it structurally sound again, dental implants Windsor would be a perfect solution. Read on to uncover how they can restore your smile and how to get the wheels in motion.
Completing your smile
When missing a tooth or multiple teeth, having access to a popular tooth replacement procedure is what everyone wants. After all, dental implants Windsor could be the answer to perfecting your smile whilst protecting it from further tooth loss or tooth misalignment.
Oral implants are small titanium screws which are inserted into the jawbone to create a stable, artificial root. Once the screw has been added, the area is left to heal and the surrounding jawbone regenerates, enabling the bone to fuse to the implant. Once the artificial root is securely in place the new prosthetic, whether it be a crown, bridge or denture, is then attached to the root ensuring that your smile once again faces the world without unnecessary gaps.
Investing in your smile can not only be beneficial in terms of your appearance, but can also be highly beneficial when it comes to your overall mental health. The impact of a healthy smile is a significant one and therefore, should you think that dental implants Windsor are for you, continue reading.
