Although the number of people who are seeking dental implants in Richmond<\/a>\nfrom us here at Sheen Dental Implants<\/strong>\nare rising, there are still a vast amount of people who are unaware of the\nbenefits of such treatment, and the negative impact that not seeking treatment\ncan have. A recent study found that as many as 27 million adults across the\ncountry live each day with one or more missing teeth within their mouths. Here\nat Sheen Dental, we feel it is our duty to inform and educate those who suffer\nfrom an untreated missing tooth with why it is paramount they seek out the\ntreatment they desperately require. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A hole lot of problems<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whilst those with an untreated missing tooth may\nfeel that it does not affect their daily lives too much, the truth is that they\nmay just be in the latent stages of a number of developing problems. One of\nthese issues, which can have a vastly detrimental effect on a patient’s outward\nappearance, which, in turn have a negative effect on their self-esteem and\nconfidence, is bone loss. This takes place as the bone tissue around a missing\ntooth is reabsorbed over time, if the gap is not bridged. This can result in\nthe entire facial structure of the patient being altered, and their perceived\nage being vastly increased. It is estimated that over 25% of a patient’s bone\ndensity can be reabsorbed within the first year of having an untreated missing\ntooth – which can result in their outward appearance being greatly affected in\nan almost irreversible way. Another, obvious issue which can arise from having\nan untreated missing tooth, is the loss of speech. This is an issue which is\nslow to begin, but can result in a great deal of social anxiety and self-esteem\nissues as the develops. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Filling in the gaps<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Luckily, here at Sheen Dental\nImplants in Richmond<\/strong>, we have a team of implant specialists who can\nfully restore a patient’s smile and self-esteem in a way which is far more\npermanent than crowns or bridges, through the installation of dental implants.\nImplants are a prosthetic response to patients who have irreversibly damaged\ntheir teeth, or lost them entirely. Implant treatment addresses the issue of\ngaps within a patient’s smile at it\u2019s very root rather than just at a\nsuperficial level. The initial stage of receiving dental\nimplants in Richmond<\/strong> begins with a consultation period between the\npatient and their trusted dental practitioner. This allows the dentist to\nassess and establish the patient’s eligibility for treatment, as well as gauge\nthe extent of treatment that is necessary and the positive effects that\npatients can expect it to have. Thereafter, provided the patient agrees to\nproceed with the process, the installation will begin. This initially starts\nwith a hole being surgically drilled into the patient’s jaw – whilst under\nlocal or general anesthetic – where their missing teeth are. Then, a\ntitanium-alloy socket is placed within this newly drilled hole, and is left to\nallow the healing process to begin. During the short healing period that\nfollows, fusion takes place. Finally, a replica tooth is then inserted into the\nsocket and fixed firmly in place. Thus the gap within the patient’s smile is\nfilled with an indistinguishable, sturdy tooth which will keep the patient\nsmiling to their fullest potential for many years to come. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
