They’re a premium solution for replacing one or two gaps in your teeth, and we highly recommend them to patients seeking the most long-term and preservative mode of treatment.
Implants are the only tooth replacement treatment that are surgically anchored into the jawbone. This surgical process induces a healing period, during which the jawbone and tissue grow around the implant, so they become integrated with your jaw in the same way a natural tooth root is.
The benefits include:
Implants support jawbone preservation, as they’re set within the jawbone. This prevents unwelcome aesthetic changes to the structure of the lower third of the face, which can become angulated as a result of jawbone loss.
In preserving the shape of your jaw and face, you can feel confident not just about your smile, but about your face’s overall appearance too.
If you’ve been without a tooth for a while, you might have noticed how debilitating this has become when you chew foods, especially tougher foods like steak, baguettes, and sticky foods like toffees and caramels – perhaps you avoid chewing on one side of your mouth altogether. Replacing even just a single tooth can rebalance the chewing pressure in your mouth, which will stop tooth wear in the future, and make eating an enjoyable experience again.
