Missing teeth can compromise your health and self-esteem in many ways. Not only can they make you feel self-conscious while eating, speaking, laughing or socialising, but they can also create health problems if not replaced. Luckily, modern dentistry has come a long way and, today, dental implants can give you replacement teeth that look, feel and function as naturally as your original teeth.

How dental implants work?

Dental implants are artificial tooth roots, surgically placed into the jawbone. Made of titanium that is compatible with bone tissue, dental implants fuse with the jawbone to support replacement teeth such as crowns, dentures or bridges.

Advantages of dental implants

Unlike dentures, dental implants do not slip or become loose over time. They are permanent, giving you the same stability and security as your natural teeth. Dental implants prevent jawbone deterioration and encourage the growth of bone tissue. Unlike bridges, they do not rely on neighbouring teeth for support and do not compromise tooth structure. Dental implants do not require a lot of maintenance – you can brush and floss them the same way you take care of your natural teeth. Finally, dental implants are the ideal cosmetic solution for missing teeth since they prevent jawbone deterioration that leads to a sunken, aged facial appearance.

Am I a good candidate for dental implants in Hampshire?

Generally, patients with healthy teeth and gums are eligible for dental implants as long as they have enough bone tissue left in their jawbone to support them. If your jawbone has already deteriorated significantly, then bone tissue can first be restored with the help of bone grafts. Sometimes, chronic illnesses like diabetes and heart disease can interfere with the healing time of dental implants. It is therefore always advisable to let your dentist know of any health problems you have.
