Why consider having dental implants at all?
Are you suffering from slurred speech or mispronouncing your words? Are you met with feelings of embarrassment as you are self-conscious about the current state of your smile? This may lead to lowering your self-esteem and your confidence levels may be affected as a result. If you feel that you are able to tick off any of the reasons on this list, dental implants may be a great option for you. Other factors to consider include missing teeth that may result in sunken jaws or cheeks altering the appearance of your facial construct.
These gaps may also affect what foods you consider including as part of your daily meals. Dental implants will help to restore your freedom to eat the foods of your choice and indulge in those snacks you have had to say goodbye to as a result of your missing teeth.
Improve your overall oral health with the help of an implant
While some patients feel daunted by the thought of having dental implant surgery, the positives far outweigh any concerns or fears you may have about the process. Dental implants will reward you with the peace of mind that you have added protection against dental cavities and tooth decay.
The material used to create the dental implants are able to withstand tooth decay so you can enjoy better oral health overall.
Another added benefit is that they are easy to look after and require minimal maintenance. Simply brush your teeth as you normally would and ensure that you floss and use mouthwash. The great news is that your newly fitted dental implants are able to last a lifetime with the right care.
What is involved in the dental implants Richmond process?
For those patients that worry that it may be a lengthy procedure, the good news is that the treatment time usually takes around the same time as a routine dental procedure. The process involves having the new dental implant fitted into your mouth to replace the gap. The dental implant, made from durable titanium, is placed directly into the jaw.
During the time it takes for the implant to fuse fully with the bone, a temporary restoration is placed to fill in the noticeable gap. Once the implant has been rooted, a crown is placed on top. This crown is tooth-coloured and blends naturally amongst your other teeth so the results will appear as natural as possible making your new dental implant almost invisible.
