Dental Implants – A Permanent Solution To Missing Teeth

Missing teeth can make you feel embarrassed and ashamed to smile. Denture wearers often complain that their dentures are uncomfortable, loose, stop them eating what they want and generally make them feel old.

Along with the obvious psychological effects that missing teeth and dentures can have on your confidence including overwhelming embarrassment and the need to cover your mouth when you laugh or smile, there are also negative physical effects.

When you lose a tooth you are left with a hole in your jawbone where your root once was. The bone around this area slowly begins to disappear and this can change the shape of your jaw forever. Bone loss is an even bigger problem for people with dentures and this bone loss can cause the mouth to sag and make you look much older than you really are.

Dentures also have a tendency to drop off at the most inconvenient times. A patient (who will go unnamed) once told us that she was out with friends at a restaurant one evening having a good time and something funny made her laugh out loud and as she tilted her head back, her denture dropped off her gums in full view of everyone around her. She said she cried herself to sleep that night.

This touching story is why we are so excited about dentistry today. After being treated at our clinic, this patient can now laugh out loud without fear, no longer covers her mouth with embarrassment, eats the food she wants, says she feels younger and enjoys a new-found confidence with natural looking teeth. The answer to all her teeth related problems were dental implants.

So What ARE Dental Implants?

Dental implants are often referred to as 'the gold standard' of tooth replacements. The Smile Dentist considers them to be the ultimate solution to the problems of missing teeth.

Dental implants are made from titanium and in a nutshell, act an artificial substitute for the tooth's natural root. The dental implant is placed into the mouth and naturally fuses with the jawbone to create a strong and natural bond. This then acts as the support for a crown or bridge to be fitted on top of the implant giving you teeth which look and function like natural teeth.



Unlike other conventional solutions, dental implants are permanent and are kept clean like regular teeth. Denture wearers no longer have to worry about messy adhesive or having to remove their false teeth in the evening. Once you've had dental implants fitted, you can go on with your life as if you had your regular, natural teeth again. No matter the cause of you losing your teeth, dental implants can help. Whether you're about to lose your teeth, have just lost them, or have been without teeth for years. Dental implants can give you your teeth back.

Some Major Benefits of Dental Implants

Get Your Teeth Back – Dental implants look and function like natural teeth and are currently the closest you can get to the real thing. What's great about implants is that once they are fitted, you can go on with your life like you had your regular teeth.

Enhance Your Quality of Life – Dental implants can help you look and feel younger and more attractive which will allow you to be more confident in social situations and you can enjoy smiling, laughing and talking to others.

Have Natural Looking Teeth – If done correctly, dental implants should be almost indistinguishable to look at compared to real teeth. After the treatment, we often have patients who still have some of their natural teeth say they can't tell which teeth are real and which are in fact the implants.

Help Prevent Bone Loss – When you lose your teeth the site where the tooth once was will experience bone loss as the bone around this area slowly wears away. This means that every day that you continue to have missing teeth, or are wearing dentures, you experience bone loss which can cause your face to sag and in turn will make you look much older than you are. This is especially important when all the teeth have been lost, because the lower third of the face can collapse. Dental implants can help prevent this by preserving the bone around this area and can even help promote new bone production and growth.

Look & Feel Up to 10 Years Younger – Dental implants help prevent sagging of the face caused by bone loss which in turn causes wrinkles and an older appearance. Along with the aesthetics being improved, dental implants can make you feel younger too. Missing teeth can make you feel old and especially so for denture wearers. With dental implants you can bin those old fashioned dentures and feel confident and complete again with natural looking teeth.

Throw Away Your Annoying Dentures – a common solution for missing teeth is a denture. These bring with them a whole host of problems as anyone who is a 'denture sufferer' will be able to tell you. Our patients tell us that their dentures drop off in public, feel uncomfortable, never seem to really fit, make them feel old and generally make them feel self conscious. With dental implants you can say goodbye to these problems and say hello to a new you.

Help Support Any Remaining Teeth – Dental implants also help take the pressure off your remaining teeth when chewing, as the pressure is displaced evenly around the mouth. Dental implants will not compromise or damage your remaining teeth.
