Recreate your missing teeth with dental implants
When many of us lose a tooth or several teeth we don’t automatically think of the fact that modern dentistry may be able to help us replace them, this is because most of us become more concerned with the negative effects of the loss and how it will change the way we use our mouths going forward. When we lose teeth many of us may find that we can no longer enjoy some of the foods we wish to, as steak may prove too difficult to chew and nuts may cause a large amount of discomfort in our mouths. If we lose a tooth or teeth at the front of our mouth we may decide to avoid smiling as a way not to expose the loss and to prevent any embarrassment we may feel.
After the loss of teeth, many people begin to seek out ways that they can replace them. This often leads them to visit a dental practice to ask about devices such as bridges or dentures that will simulate the teeth, but do not offer a fixed-in-place solution to tooth loss. However, there is a solution that can give patients the stable long-term results that they are seeking, as dental implants in Plymouth may be an option many people may wish to consider.
At Smile Care Cosmetic Centre we have the expertise to help any of our patients who have experienced tooth loss to regain their missing teeth in a way that feels natural, giving them new teeth they can use in daily life and that they will feel comfortable with when in place in their mouths.
Giving you back your teeth
Having your missing teeth restored with dental implants in Plymouth is an ideal way to receive replacement teeth that you will be completely comfortable with, as the replacements will look and feel like they are your own natural teeth.
Your new teeth will be put in place in your mouth in two stages. First, a titanium screw will be inserted into your jawbone as a way to create a strong and steady base for your new tooth to be fixed to, the tip of the screw will be positioned above the gum to allow the replacement tooth to be attached. Your new tooth will be created using a ceramic crown that is coloured and shaped in ways that allow it to blend in with any of your existing teeth that are surrounding it.
Your new tooth or teeth will be extremely strong and will be capable of coping with the rigours and stresses of daily use, this means they will not be easily damaged by the acids and sugars that are found naturally in the food and drinks we consume. You must however care for new teeth in the correct way, but there is no need to learn any new cleaning routines, simply cleaning your teeth twice a day will be enough to ensure your replacement teeth stay in a suitable condition for your use.
