Why are dental implants good for family photos?
These days there is no doubt that we are taking more photographs than ever before. The advent of the smartphone has made us all into amateur photographers. We can’t help ourselves and we take snaps of things we never bothered with in the past. Another innovation has been the selfie and any opportunity to take a picture with our family or friends on a special occasion or with a celebrity whenever possible. This has meant that we have become more aware of our appearance, especially our smile. Dental implants Windsor provide more than just a practical, functional solution, in addition when we apply them we pay attention to your aesthetic appearance as well.
Will a dental implant help me?
A good dentist will, in the first instance, always aim to save a tooth by whatever means available. Sometimes, however, it is not possible to save a tooth that has been chipped or broken as a result of an accident or that is so badly decayed that it will eventually require removal anyway. An implant may not be the best or only solution in every case and we will advise on the best course of treatment after a thorough examination.
Why dental implants?
Dental implants Windsor may be the best solution that will suit you. No decision regarding your dental well being is taken lightly and only after a careful examination and consultation with you will we make our recommendations. A lost tooth affects far more than just your appearance, you will automatically change your eating pattern, which in turn can affect your health. If for example you are unable to chew your food properly that can lead to digestion issues further down the line. Bridges and dentures are an alternative but they have limitations in how many teeth they can replace. Implants are a very versatile option because you can have one or more depending on the number of teeth you have lost. They are more stable than dentures and because they simulate your existing teeth they are more comfortable.
What is involved?
In order to see if you are suitable to have dental implants Windsor, we will conduct a comprehensive examination and take X-rays and 3D scans of your entire mouth including teeth, gums and jawbone. Apart from everything else the two important things we need to establish are where exactly on your jaw the missing tooth or teeth were originally located and also the health of your jawbone. Because we need to drill into your jawbone we need to know precisely where to drill and if it is necessary to strengthen your jawbone with a graft. If your jawbone is healthy enough there is no need to perform a graft. We will discuss every detail with you, creating a detailed treatment plan which will include specific timelines. Some people take longer than others to heal and we monitor your progress every step of the way to ensure that the results are exactly as you would expect.
