Are you wanting to replace missing teeth <\/a>\u00a0but the think that\u00a0a denture is the only option you have? The Good news is that with all the advances in modern dentistry<\/a>, you have many options potentially available to you today.<\/p>\n

Dental implants <\/a>\u00a0are titanium substitutes for missing teeth but they look and function like real teeth.<\/p>\n

They are strong and hard wearing and are widely used to replace a\u00a0missing tooth or teeth.<\/p>\n

For patients considering replacement of missing teeth with\u00a0one(or several)\u00a0 implants, here are some guidelines to help you:<\/p>\n

Speak\u00a0to your Implant Dentist<\/strong> who can assess your dental condition before advising if you are suitable to receive a dental \u00a0implant.<\/p>\n

He\/She will need to make sure you are a suitable candidate for dental implants and have enough bone density and structure\u00a0in your jaw to support this.<\/p>\n

It is important to get advice from a dentist who deals in dental implants<\/a> as it does require additional and further dental training.<\/p>\n

Insertion of\u00a0the dental implants<\/a>\u00a0:<\/strong><\/p>\n

The implant is placed into the socket of your tooth where it is drilled into place to meet the bone in your jaw. This is important because the implant needs to be held in place and stabilised by surrounding bone which will grow and integrate around the implant. Implants are usually made of titanium because this material merges well into the jawbones.<\/p>\n

The Healing Process :<\/strong><\/p>\n

Once the dental implant has been placed, it is essential to allow time for the bone to grow around and merge with the implant to stabilise it in your jawbone- this can take many months.<\/p>\n

Placement of\u00a0the post<\/strong> :<\/p>\n

The jawbone needs to\u00a0merge with the implant; Once this has occurred,\u00a0a post can be attached to hold in place the new crown or artificial tooth<\/p>\n

Placement Of Crown<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

The gums will need to heal after the post has been positioned.When they have healed\u00a0completely, an impression of the tooth can be taken by\u00a0your implant\u00a0dentist. This impression allows the dentist to make a new crown <\/a>to be placed on the post.<\/p>\n

Dental Implants need looking after and caring for in the same way as normal teeth. You will need to carry out daily brushing and flossing of your implant and attend regular dental check-ups.<\/p>\n

Looking after your teeth and gums and keeping a healthy mouth will ensure good oral\u00a0bone support which in turn should help you keep and maintain\u00a0your dental implants\u00a0for many years<\/p>\n
