Dental implants have become the gold standard for replacing missing teeth, providing unparalleled stability, aesthetics, and functionality. In this comprehensive guide, we explore the key aspects of dental implants in the UK.
Dental Implant Components:
Dental implants consist of three main components – the implant fixture, abutment, and prosthetic restoration. The implant fixture is crafted from biocompatible materials, they integrate seamlessly with your jawbone and serves as a substitute for the natural tooth root. The abutment connects the implant to the prosthetic restoration, which can be a crown, bridge, or denture.
Osseointegration:
One of the defining features of dental implants is osseointegration. This process involves the fusion of the implant fixture with the surrounding bone tissue, providing a solid foundation for the prosthetic tooth. Osseointegration contributes to the stability and longevity of dental implants.
Natural Appearance:
Dental implants closely mimic the appearance of natural teeth, offering a seamless, comfortable and aesthetically pleasing result. The customised restorations are designed to match the colour, shape, and size of your existing teeth. We tailor our treatments to suit your unique needs.
Preservation of Jawbone Health:
Unlike traditional tooth replacement options, dental implants actively stimulate the jawbone, preventing bone loss. This preservation of bone density is crucial for maintaining facial structure and preventing further dental issues.
Enhanced Functionality:
Dental implants restore full chewing functionality, allowing you to enjoy a diverse and nutritious diet without concerns about slipping or discomfort. The stability of implants is comparable to that of natural teeth.
Long-Term Solution:
With proper care and maintenance, dental implants offer stability and durability and have the potential to last a lifetime with proper care. Routine dental check-ups and good oral hygiene practices are essential for ensuring the longevity of your implant-supported restorations.
