So with that in\nmind, here are a few signs that you may need dental\nimplants in Richmond<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are dental implants?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before we begin,\nhere\u2019s a quick summary of what this procedure involves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For patients\ncoming in for dental implants in Richmond<\/a>, they are essentially having a prosthetic tooth\ninserted below their gum line and into the jawbone. The tooth is usually made\nfrom porcelain or a variation of ceramics and it\u2019s held in place with a\ntitanium screw that\u2019s been sterilised to prevent any infection from occurring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over time the\nbone will heal back over the screw and this should provide a stable and sturdy\nplatform for your newly implanted tooth. At Sheen Dental<\/strong>\nour team will fit your new implant in a quick and safe procedure with minimal\ndiscomfort involved where possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crooked or crowded teeth<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As we age our\nteeth can naturally move around in our mouths and in some cases this can lead\nto crooked or crowded looking teeth. Aside from making you feel self-conscious\nwhen you smile, these misaligned teeth can also cause plaque to build up in\nhard to clean places, which can lead to gingivitis and other oral health\nissues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where an implant\ncan help is when we can insert a single prosthetic tooth or multiple prosthetic\nteeth to provide you with a straightened out smile.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gap filled smile<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Much more\nnoticeable than crooked teeth, having gaps can cause all sorts of problems of\ntheir own aside from ruining your smile. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As an example,\ngaps between teeth can cause them to become weakened and loose. So implanting a\nprosthetic next to them will allow us to strengthen their base and provide a\nrigid support they can lean against. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Difficulty with speech<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another sign you\nmay require an implant is if you\u2019re struggling with saying certain phrases or\nif you have a pronounced whistling noise whilst speaking. Implanting a\nprosthetic tooth may help fill in any gaps that your tongue may be tripping\nover or where air might be whistling through.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chronic jaw problems<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In closing we\nhave one last symptom to keep an eye out for, chronic jaw pain or an aching\nfeeling. This can appear because as we eat, our jaw muscles apply pressure in\nour mouth that our teeth equally distribute across our mouth. But, if you have\nany gaps or misaligned teeth the force being applied becomes unbalanced and you\ncan start to experience an aching pain in parts of your mouth where the\npressure is building up unequally.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These are just a\nfew of the signs that you may need to come into our practice for implants. If\nyou are still not sure if you require them, then ask our team on your next\nvisit to the practice, to see what we can do for you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
