What are the pros of dental implants?
It is only when we lose our teeth or aren’t able to bite and chew without pain or smile with confidence that we begin to really appreciate the huge role teeth play in supporting a good quality of life.
At Abbey Road Dental, our experienced and professionally-trained dental practitioners provide quality dental care that is focused on helping preserve the health of natural teeth for life, but in the undesirable event of you losing natural teeth, we have available modern and effective missing teeth replacement solutions including dental implants in St John’s Wood to restore complete mouth function.
There are a few reasons why dental implants in St John’s Wood make for a superior choice in missing teeth replacement solutions. We highlight some of the more noteworthy reasons why we favour a treatment plan that incorporates dental implants in St John’s Wood.
Why dental implants are fast becoming the preferred choice
Thanks to its forward-thinking design that replicates that of natural teeth, dental implants offer a number of distinct advantages that cannot be gained on other traditional missing teeth replacement treatment plans.
Of top concern for adult patients is dental appearance and with oral implants, you get a pleasing appearance of natural-looking teeth. Dental implants are so designed as to blend in seamlessly with the rest of the mouth. In fact, they are so perfectly matched to natural teeth that it is very difficult to discern the difference between the two.
Next in importance to improved aesthetics, is enhanced mouth function. Once again, due to their design, tooth implants are able to offer the same stability and confident masticatory function as natural teeth. Patients need not fear their device will fall out and cause embarrassment when eating out or become ill-fitting after a few years of service. There is also no worry of the device being damaged (as long as good oral hygiene is maintained) or lost.
Dental practitioners prefer implants because they help to preserve the integrity of the mouth. The metal stem that is implanted into the jawbone to serve a similar function to that of natural tooth roots, helps to keep the jawbone strong and healthy. When these natural tooth roots are lost due to dental loss, the jawbone loses the stimulation it needs to keep on growing. Traditional missing teeth replacement solutions do not offer this root-like feature that is found on the dental implant device.
Important considerations on dental implant treatment plans
Dental implants are designed to offer a relatively long life of service. But to encourage the longevity of dental implants, you are required to look after your oral hygiene. This means that brushing and flossing teeth daily is non-negotiable.
Along with good oral hygiene is keeping to scheduled dental check-ups. It is only the knowing eye and experience of a professional dentist who can reliably determine oral health or diagnose issues that need to be treated.
If missing teeth have ruined the quality of life you once enjoyed, opting for dental implants may be the answer to give you back your smile. You will need a comprehensive consultation when considering dental implants to determine your suitability for this treatment plan, so why not book your appointment with Abbey Road Dental today?
