Dental implants are an ideal solution if you have missing teeth as they look very similar to natural teeth. An individual may lose a tooth due to accident, gum disease or even due to poor oral hygiene. Hence, it is very difficult for anyone to tell the difference between a real or fake tooth. They are generally made from titanium as it is an orally compatible material nd also integrates with your surrounding bone tissue, thereby creating a stable support for the addition of a new tooth.
There are many advantages of having dental implants. They not only help to add to a person’s beautiful smile, but also help to improve various other aspects such as speech and self-esteem. Some other advantages of dental implants are as follows:
- Eliminates the possibility of further loss of teeth.
- Restores the integrity of your jawbone and also your surrounding gum tissue.
- Improves chewing ability.
- Improved aesthetic results.
- Avoids tooth reduction, with regards to adjacent teeth.
- Improves a person’s level of self-esteem and confidence.
Dental implants are functionally much more effective compared to dentures and conventional bridges.
Dental Implants are a good long term solution to replace your missing teeth. Effectively, they are artificial teeth which are positioned in place of missing teeth to replac or fill gaps. The aesthetic advantages of dental implants mean nobody can usually tell the difference between an original tooth and a dental.Unlike Dental Bridge and Crownwork which has traditionally been used for replacement of missing teeth by dentists , dental implants do not rely or affect adjacent teeth which is why they are gaining in popularity.
If you have a missing tooth or several missing teeth and have suitable oral bone structure to support a dental implant, this is may be a suitable and good long term option you could consider for replacement of your missing tooth or teeth.
Advantages of a dental implant include better establishment of original chewing and eating habits and improvement of speech and appearance which in turn leads to greater self esteem. Moreover, there are fewer restrictions to specific types of food and you should generally be able to eat anything you like, including solid foodstuffs.
Dental implants look virtually identical to your natural teeth and they are manufactured in such a way that they can be integrated and fused into underlying oral bone and gum tissues in the mouth and help restore your jawbone.
Dental Implants are made to integrate into your mouth’s bone structure and their placement can also help to minimise other dental problems which can sometimes occur with dentures or crown and bridgework such as oral bone loss and gum recession. For this reason, dental implants are often a popular and preferred choice for people looking to replace missing teeth.
A perfect smile has the power to work wonders. You can’t stop talking or smiling just because you’ve got a broken tooth following an accident, so what do you do? Fortunately, advances in cosmetic dentistry have now made it possible for you to take advantage of the benefits of many cosmetic dental treatments.
One of the most requested procedures from our dentists in Derby has been patients wanting dental implants for a missing tooth or several missing teeth.
Dental implants are a good long term solution for replacing missing teeth. You may have to have a tooth removed due to decay or damage or you may have lost a tooth through an accident and you wish to replace it with a ‘new’ tooth.
Titanium and its alloys are widely used in dental implants because they integrate and adapt well into the mouth and have no side effects.
Dental Implants are available in a variety of types and prices, depending upon their quality.
If you have decayed teeth, your dentist may remove the tooth or teeth in question. A dental implant may be one of the choices of treatment offered to you to replace the missing tooth/teeth. Dental implants do require some maintenance, the same care and attention you would pay to your other teeth.
Do make sure that you get your dental implants done by a reputable dentist as dental implants are a particularly specialised area of cosmetic dentistry.
A new dental implant may give back to you the freedom to laugh and smile again, without your needing to feel self-conscious about your appearance.
Below are some tips straight from our dentists in Derby on why dental implants are a consideration for people who have lost teeth:
- No More False Teeth or Dentures
- Enhanced physical appearance
- More Comfort
- Permanently fixed in your mouth
- Greater confidence with eating and when speaking
When you loose one or several of your teeth, it can have a major impact on how you look, your confidence levels can be knocked and your daily eating habits and speech can be affected too.
Furthermore, losing your teeth can also lead to the lower region of bone in your mouth to start slowly collapsing. Dental implants may involve bone grafting if you have insufficient jawbone and the upside is once this is built up and restored and your implants have been placed, you may even look younger!
Restoring self esteem and confidence by replacing missing teeth cannot be underestimated.Loss of teeth can make it difficult for people to laugh, smile or participate and engage in social gatherings or within the workplace.
Dental implants could address all these issue and are a great choice of dental treatment for people who are exploring all their options on how best to replace a tooth or several missing teeth in their mouth.
These days, dentistry provides much more than teeth cleaning, cavity filling and root canals. Now there are several treatments and procedures that are available to enhance the appearance of your teeth and improve your smile. With the latest procedures you can fix gaps, remove stains and also correct several oral related problems. Dentistry mainly involves preventing tooth decay. A cosmetic dentist can also assist you in achieving a healthy smile through a few additional treatments.
- A dental implant is basically a titanium fake tooth which is surgically anchored in the jawbone. They are used as permanent substitutes for missing teeth. For replacing a tooth, a dental implant is often a good long term option providing you are a suitable candidate for dental implants.
- Cosmetic bonding is a method which is suitable for filling small gaps and chips between the teeth. In this process, the dentist applies a dental composite or an enamel type of resin over the surface of your teeth in order to create the required shape, colour and size. Bonding is perfect for filling the gaps between your teeth to overcome a gappy smile.
- Crowns and Bridges are mostly used to fill areas that have missing teeth. They greatly help to improve the look of the affected area and restore the bite. Crowns are commonly used to restore the appearance and functionality of damaged teeth.

A beautiful smile can make all the difference to how someone looks, but a lot of people are afraid to smile properly due to a bad set of teeth. If you aren’t lucky enough to be blessed with a beautiful smile, you can still achieve it with the help of cosmetic dentistry.
Cosmetic dentistry is increasingly popular these days, as it can fix a wide range of tooth problems including cracked, chipped or misshapen teeth. With the help of cosmetic dentistry, you can have your teeth reshaped and cracks filled in, changing the whole appearance of your smile. If you have a missing tooth then you can get implants to fill the gap. With the help of cosmetic dentistry, it becomes nearly impossible to see the difference between a fake and a real tooth.
Cosmetic dentistry offers a wide range of solutions for chipped, crooked or yellow teeth. Dental veneers and teeth whitening treatments can turn an ordinary smile to a more refined and attractive one.
Before going in for cosmetic treatment, it is necessary for you to find the right type of dentist; one with enough professional experience to help you get the results you desire.
A damaged tooth can sometimes require specialist dental treatment such as root canal treatment to repair damage and restore it to a healthy condition.
Root canal treatment is usually performed by a dentist when the damaged tooth has broken down or experienced decay.A specialist dentist may need to carry out the treatment if it is a difficult case, the infection is severe and widespread
and there are potential dental complications associated.
The tooth nerve may have been damaged or there may be infection present which leads to the severe toothache and pain that is often associated with this dental condition. The discomfort and pain is mainly caused due to infection in
the nerves and therefore, the problem needs to be addressed at the root of your tooth to treat it and also to prevent infection from spreading further.
If infection of the nerves is not treated in the early stages of the condition and left to worsen, the spread of infection can occur into oral bone which can cause further dental complications. To address and treat this type of dental problem and infection, root canal treatment may be necessary. This dental treatment involves removal of the tooth crown on the infected tooth followed by treatment of the infected tissue and through cleaning of the surrounding area too.
Root canal treatment should also prevent recurrence of the infection as the dentist fills the infected area and then covers it with a new crown which acts as a seal on the treated tooth. Root canal treatment required ongoing follow-ups, both with the dentist and a dental hygienist.
Root canal treatments are not always as painful as they are sometimes portrayed.The treatment can often be completed on a one visit appointment to the dentist although more complicated cases with greater and extensive tooth damage may require more time and appointments. Whichever the case, root canal treatment from a good dentist will go a long way in restoring unhealthy teeth to better dental health and protecting your teeth in the long run.
We now have a specialist dentist at our derby dental practice providing specialist root canal treatment.
Everyone, at some point in their lives, has white(or almost white!) .But over time and as you age,tooth colour can change and one of the most common complaints we have when patients say they want nice teeth is ‘my teeth are yellow but they never used to be, why has that happened?!’
Ageing of teeth is one of the main reasons as even the whitest of teeth loose their brightness over time. Also, depending the types of food you eat and whether you smoke or drink lots of red wine and/or coffee, the colour of your teeth will be affected by such lifestyle choices. Teeth will become yellow, dull and discoloured grey, yellow. Smoking is a major cause, not just of yellowing teeth but also of poor dental oral health.
Teeth whitening can be an effective way to reverse the discolouration of yellowing teeth and restore the natural whiteness and brightness of youth. It may not completely change the colour of your teeth but you can expect your teeth to be lightened by various shades to a much whiter one. The bleaching process uses oxidising agents like carbamide peroxide or hydrogen peroxide to lighten the colour of teeth.
Bleaching is generally effective if you have yellow, discoloured teeth but it may not work on severley discoloured teeth or discolouration caused by eg:tetracyline staining. Tooth whitening carried out by a cosmetic dentist is a fast, safe and effective method to whiten your teeth and is one of the most popular and asked for cosmetic dentistry procedures.
New X-Factor judge Tulisa Contostavlos of N-Dubz fame has followed in the footsteps of Cheryl Cole and transformed her look with cosmetic dentistry . Tulisa’s new image transformation included dental treatment which has reportedly cost her £12,000.
Simon Cowell, whose name is now synonymous with XFactor and gleaming white teeth, has no doubt had some influence over Tulisa’s new look. Simon Cowell, who is clearly a fan of cosmetic dentistry, reportedly encouraged X-Factor finalists to improve their appeal factor and image by undertaking cosmetic dentistry back in 2008.
Whilst 25 year old Tulisa did not originally have bad teeth before her dental treatment, they weren’t completely perfect and straight. Tulisa understandably may have wanted to look her very best for her new role as an X Factor judge and chose to boost her confidence and have a complete image makeover for the show.Her cosmetic dentistry treatment is believed to have involved undertaking dental veneers and teeth whitening.
The N-Dubz singer who is happy to admit she wouldn’t rule out cosmetic surgery if she ever felt she needed it in the future has been compared to previous X-Factor judge Cheryl Cole on a number of occasions. Before appearing on The X-Factor, Cheryl also underwent cosmetic dentistry treatment worth £9,500. Her dental treatment included an invisible brace and six to eight veneers . Her teeth and smile are clearly very important to her and Cheryl reportedly has a dental budget of £8,000 a year on her teeth, in addition to £1,500 on teeth whitening treatments.
