Tooth loss
Tooth loss can occur as a result of many different factors. The most common factors are bad oral hygiene and avoiding the dentist. Missing teeth can be avoided by having a good dental hygiene routine in place and making sure that you visit the dentist frequently so that any dental issues can be detected early on, treated successfully and further complications can be prevented in the future. Sometimes tooth loss cannot be prevented. You may have been in an accident or you may have had an injury to your mouth which has resulted in the loss of a tooth or multiple teeth.
Whichever situation you have found yourself in, speak to us today to learn more about dental implants and how they can help replace your missing teeth in a long-lasting and natural-looking way.
How do dental implants work?
Oral implants are suitable for replacing one lost tooth or replacing multiple missing teeth and even for replacing all of your teeth, depending on your dental requirements and your personal preferences. You will first need to undergo a thorough examination of your mouth to make sure that your remaining teeth and gums are clean and healthy. Another important factor in dental implant surgery is that you need to have sufficient healthy bone for the procedure to be carried out successfully. Sometimes tooth loss can result in bone decay, therefore it is important that you visit the dentist as soon as possible to prevent complications later on. If you do not have sufficient bone for implant surgery then you may require bone grafting to ensure the process is carried out successfully.
Dental implants are generally made up of three parts. First, you have a small titanium screw which is inserted into the alveolar bone of your jaw. The next part is the connector post which is joined to the implant and finally, you have your choice of prosthetic, either a crown, a bridge or a set of dentures depending on the number of teeth that need replacing.
