Are you constantly experiencing difficulty and embarrassment when trying to chew your food with missing teeth? Do you wish that you could smile without being embarrassed by your missing teeth? The restorative procedure of dental implants can help greatly improve the quality of your life by solving the serious problem of missing teeth. Dental implants are a highly successful high tech procedure that will restore comfortable, natural looking teeth for you to give you a better quality of life. Dental implants can help you eat, speak, and smile with confidence again because you will have a full and happy set of teeth once more. A dental implant recreates the root of your tooth using titanium. The titanium root is then fused to the bone of your jaw. An artificial tooth is then placed over the implant. The replacement tooth looks and functions just as a natural tooth would. Multiple dental implants are not a problem. Your dentist in Epping will be able to help you restore your smile with this great beneficial procedure. The procedure of dental implants does not result in any damage to your jaw bone. Also, unlike traditional bridgework, dental implants cause no damage to your surrounding teeth. Patients with dental implants report that the quality of their lives improve drastically. These are some of the reasons why dental implants are the best option for replacing your missing teeth. Call 01245 268 494 for a free consultation at Advance Dental Clinic in Chelmsford.

One of the problems with having anything false fitted inside the mouth is the worry that it may fall out at the most in-opportune of times. Dentures and partial dentures are specifically prone to this- even the best laid plans of using strong fixatives do not always do the job. Dental bridges are also at the mercy of cements and can also fail at the best of times. It has then come as an incredible relief to people who have had to suffer this for years that the mini-implant has come of age and it’s even come to Colchester. Laser surgery has made the fitting of the ‘mini’ extremely easy for dentists to carry out- in fact, the procedure can be done and dusted in a day. Once the titanium implant has been located into the jaw, it can be used to strengthen the fitting of the bridge and aid the cement and resins used to hold the fitting in place. But it’s denture wearers that have benefited most from the development of the mini-implant. The dentures have to be adapted before being fitted, but once done and five or six implants have been set into the jaw, the dentures simply locate onto the implants, holding the fitting stronger in the mouth than ever before; combined with a fixative, it can be like winning the lottery for denture wearers. The even better news is that technology combined with the ease of fitting has made the treatment widespread and because of demand and supply, a very competitive option to go for.

Tooth loss can affect people for a variety of reasons. The advanced stages of gum disease are a significant cause as the gums are unable to hold teeth in place any longer. If dental decay progresses to a certain point then teeth can be lost or need to be removed. In other cases, accidents involving heavy impact to the mouth can lead to a tooth coming free from its housing.

In order for the mouth to stay functional as a unit of its different parts, it is vital that any lost teeth are replaced and replaced effectively. To this end there are a number of options available from United Kingdom dentists. Dentures are relatively affordable and can be removed if that is the preference of the patient. They are also easily fitted. Dental bridges consist of false teeth being attached to remaining teeth which surround the gap.

Dental implants are the most permanent and secure of all the option though. Rather than being removable, or attaching a replacement to existing tooth, dental implants are secured in the mouth underneath the gum, directly to the jaw bone. They are secured in an incredibly stable and enduring fashion because the implant is specially made from titanium which naturally fuses with live human bone.

To accomplish this, your Maldon dentist will need to make an incision in your gum, carried out under local anaesthetic. Thus dental implants will not be suitable for everybody. If you are in poor health or have condition that might affect your ability to heal then dental implants might not be available to you and you will have to think about one of the other worthy options instead.

Tooth loss can happen to anyone. It is, of course, common in people who neglect the health of their teeth, allowing gum disease and dental decay to take place; but accidents can happen too which might dislodge a tooth or teeth from the mouth. Your mouth needs to have a full set of teeth so that it can function as it supposed to. Try asking someone without teeth how easy they find it to eat an apple or crisps, for example. Even losing one tooth has its effect as the teeth on either side of the gap can start to shift into the space left behind.

Mini implants are an effective and permanent way to replicate a tooth where you have lost one. The miracle of these implants is that they are so permanent. A Portuguese dental scientist stumbled across the property of the metal titanium that allows it to fuse with living bone over time. He saw that this could be put to use for patients who were missing teeth. Soon replacements for the lost root part of teeth were being made from titanium and placed beneath the gums of patients and against the jaw bone.

Into the implants, dentists can then screw a false tooth, safe in the knowledge that the foundation of the titanium fused with the bone will be incredible secure. They are not an inexpensive option but once they are in place you won’t even have to think about them again. So flexible and secure are mini implants that they can be fitted anywhere in the mouth and used to support a whole bridge of replacement teeth.

It’s hard to think that once upon a time, dental implants were the domain of the exclusive few at one point and here we are in 2011 being offered the treatment in Maldon! But because of how far technology has leapt forward over the past 25 years, the old hammer and nail techniques of fitting an implant have made way for the laser and computer. The laser has also made the need for the scalpel virtually obsolete in implant procedures, physical cutting causes trauma to the gums, hence the healing times of fitting an implant could take anywhere up to 8 months to heal. But now, once the location of the implant has been assured with digital imaging, the laser can place a hole in the jaw with pinpoint accuracy, whilst doing the very little damage to the gums- in the case of mini-implants, it’s done in a day. But it’s the freedom that an implant gives to the patient that is staggering. It’s there for good once it’s in, and can be used to attach crowns and bridges to, they can also be used to replace a full mouth of teeth if required. The refinement of such treatment has made it easier to do, hence it is starting to pop up all over the country, which is fantastic for the customer, because the costs of having dental implants have plummeted of late.

When mini-implants first came on the dental scene, they were generally used as a temporary device to settle the mouth and allow the gums to heal before the larger cousin could be fitted. However, being a third of the price and just as durable, they soon found a use of their own and are used all around Colchester in a varying number of dental procedures. Unlike their bigger relative, they are a lot easier to fit into the jaw. In fact, with modern laser surgery, they can be fitted and used in the same day. Before mini-implants, fixings such as bridges and dentures were a tad fragile in the mouth, seeing as they are both exposed to the normal pressures that the mouth goes through when chewing and biting. Both relied on adhesives to keep them in place. When it comes to dentures especially, these were a constant threat to the wearer as they were always liable to fall out at the most inappropriate times, i.e. when eating a hearty meal. Mini implants have all but put a halt to those problems. Aside from using cement to secure a bridge, a mini-implant can also click it into place for extra security. But it’s their use with dentures that they have proven their worth. Along with more finite materials used in the manufacture of dentures and the adhesives available, dentures can now also be held into place with mini-implants that hold the dentures true and firm against the gums, rewarding the wearer of modern dentures a quality and freedom of lifestyle un-afforded to previous generations.

Tooth loss is something that we all try our very best to avoid at all costs but unfortunately life sometimes deals us a hand that we wish it hadn’t. A one off accident for example, might cause a tooth or teeth to become dislodged from the mouth, or a period of dental decay can have the same effect. What many people don’t know is that it is gum disease that is actually responsible for the most cases of tooth loss in the United Kingdom.

Whatever the cause, if you have lost a tooth or teeth, you will probably be wondering what is next and where you go from here. The important thing is to do something rather than nothing. The efficient functionality of your mouth requires there to be a full set of teeth. If you leave gaps in your mouth where there should be teeth then the surrounding teeth can start to shift into the gaps. In cases where a number of teeth have been lost the cheeks can sag inwards and you might look older than you really are.

One option which deserves your string consideration is that of dental implants, a truly permanent solution to tooth loss. Dental implants work by replicating the lost root part of the tooth in the form of what is essentially a socket placed into the gum. A replacement tooth can then be secured into the socket and you won’t even have to think about the fact that you once had a missing tooth.

Ask your Maldon dentist for a consultation to find out if you are a suitable candidate for dental implants. They can even support a bridge of replacement teeth because they provide such a stable foundation. Call 01245 268 494 for a free consultation at Advance Dental Clinic in Chelmsford.

Dental implants are now recognized as the real future of teeth replacement. No longer do you have to live with the shadow of dentures or partial dentures hanging over you. Once, implants used to be out of the price range of most of us living in Harlow, and dentures were the only option. But advances in micro surgery have radically changed all that- implants have become common place and hence, prices have become more competitive; what with price plans and access to treatments, implants are available to everyone and the more preferred choice to dentures. Having teeth replaced not only keeps the face aesthetically youthful and prevents it from drooping; there are a lot of health implications at stake. Having teeth, retains a healthy ‘bite in the mouth, or the occlusion, that prevents damage to the neck, head and shoulders, and if only one tooth, or a couple of teeth are lost, getting a replacement can stop movement to the remaining teeth and further problems such as gum disease setting in. An implant is for life and as strong as the root they replace and a lot less vulnerable to disease and infection. Modern surgical techniques have brought down treatment and healing times and the new teeth that are fitted onto the implants, more alluring than the teeth that were there before. If however, you already have dentures that keep moving around in the mouth, mini implants that can be fitted in a day, can be used to lock them in securely. Implants can improve your quality of life that you may well have thought you’d lost with tooth loss. Call 01245 268 494 for a free consultation at Advance Dental Clinic in Chelmsford.

If you loose a tooth it is vital that it is replaced. When you are missing a tooth talking, eating and drinking can become that bit more difficult and further oral health problems can result. The realistic replacements offered by dentures represent a solution which your Maldon dentist will be able to advise you about.

Using mini implants is a way of securing your dentures into your mouth effectively and with stability. Mini implants act as a substitute for the root of your tooth that has been lost. The titanium that the implants are made from is extremely compatible with the natural materials of your mouth. The predrilled sockets will ‘osseointegrate’ with your jaw, the fusion of titanium with bone meaning that the mini implants will be highly long-lasting. Your new dentures will be housed in these sockets.

First your dentist will thoroughly clean the area of debris to avoid contamination then undertake an xray or CT scan. Under local anaesthetic, an incision in the jaw will be made so that the mini implant can be installed, then you will be sewn back up. During a period of healing a temporary replacement tooth will be worn before the permanent denture is secured to the mini implant which will already be integrating with the jaw.

All in all mini implants offer a long term solution to problems of tooth loss. The fusing process provides an immensely secure foundation and titanium is an extremely hard-wearing material. Your realistic replacement dentures can therefore be treated just like normal teeth, without the worry of them slipping out or being difficult to clean. Contact your Maldon dentist for more information about how mini implants can permanently solve your tooth loss problems.

It is vital that you replace a lost tooth for the ease of speaking eating and drinking that it will provide. Dental implants are a long term solution to this as they will restore the aesthetics of your mouth, allowing you to smile with confidence.

You may have lost a tooth because of a variety of reasons such as an accident or trauma. Poor oral hygiene can lead to a loss of teeth through decay and sometimes simply old age can bring tooth loss. Increasingly people are turning to dental implants instead of dentures or fixed bridges to restore lost teeth. Acting as a replacement for the root of your lost tooth, dental implants are made from titanium which is extremely durable. Ultimately these implants will fuse with the surrounding bone in a process known as osseointegration that will give the tooth a support which is stable.

Having assessed the area for debris or decay which may compromise the process, your dentist will take an xray or CT scan then make an incision in the jaw while you are under local anaesthetic. Into this incision the titanium implant will be installed and then the dentist will stitch the area back up, allowing you to undergo a process of healing during which you may have to wear a temporary replacement attached to the implant.

Dental implants offer a long –term solution to tooth loss and you can clean your replacement teeth just like you would a normal tooth. They are secure enough to last a lifetime providing you care for them as you do the rest of your mouth. Contact your Maldon dentist today and find out about a solution to tooth loss that is more practical than dentures and will allow you to smile, eat and drink with confidence and ease.
