Dental implants offer the most advanced technology available for replacing a missing tooth due to extraction or hypodontia.
Dental implants are widely considered the gold standard option for replacing a missing tooth.
Not only do dental implants look like the real thing, but they can also provide the necessary functionality, structure and support that a natural tooth would. At present, dental implants are also the most advanced technology available for addressing missing teeth, as they are placed into the jawbone and can last indefinitely.
However, their clear advantages also mean that dental implants can be significantly more expensive than other options such as dentures or bridges.
Cromer House offers dental implants as part of our wide range of services. We treat patients from across the Liverpool and wider North West area of the UK.
If you are considering dental implants as a solution to a missing tooth, these are some of the top benefits to know about.
Improved appearance
Research by Forbes suggests the average adult in the UK smiles 20 times a day. Although this can be up to 50 times a day for the happiest among us!
However, the simple fact is that if you aren’t happy with your smile due to a missing tooth, you won’t feel confident when you smile. If you are especially self-conscious about the issue, this can even lead you to smile less.
When you don’t like your smile, you may also feel uncomfortable having your picture taken. Therefore, a missing tooth can negatively affect your life in multiple ways.
The beauty of a dental implant is that it is custom made to look like it belongs in your mouth in terms of its size, shape and colour. As a result, your implant will complete your smile and will remove any noticeable gaps for good.
When you are happy with your smile, it cannot be underestimated the benefits this can have on your confidence, happiness and overall wellbeing.
After all, life is too short not to smile! Whether this involves spending time with friends or family, or even attending a special event.
Many patients also comment how improving their smile has enhanced their professional lives, especially when it comes to things such as job interviews or public speaking.
Better oral health
A missing tooth can create many problems for your oral health. This includes problems you might not be able to see because they are happening below the gum line.
Common issues when there is a missing tooth can include bone loss or movement of your other teeth.
However, adding an implant works to provide structure and support to the rest of your teeth and gums. As a result, the implant can prevent any existing issues from getting worse. Ideally, getting the implant fitted at the recommended time can also help avoid the above issues entirely.
For example, if you are having a tooth extracted then your dentist can advise you about getting an implant to prevent bone loss. Another benefit of swiftly installing an implant is that your smile will instantly be restored.
Strength and longevity
Dental implants harness phenomenal dental technology. With the correct care, they can last for decades and potentially a lifetime.
The actual implant is the name given to the titanium screw which is placed into the jaw. The reason why titanium is used for surgical purposes is due to titanium being strong yet lightweight. Titanium also has excellent biocompatibility. What all of this means for your teeth is that titanium provides an excellent foundation for the daily biting and chewing your implant will need to withstand.
Porcelain then makes up the visible part of your implant. As a high quality material, porcelain can also offer incredible longevity for your dental implant, while also boasting aesthetic appeal.
Overall, the winning combination of titanium and porcelain is going to set you up for many years of comfortable chewing, biting and smiling.
In contrast, opting for an inferior option may solve some issues you experience with a missing tooth but also create other challenges.
Easier living
When you are living with a missing tooth, you will know all too well the difficulties you can experience every time you speak and eat.
Compared with leaving the missing tooth as it is, an implant is designed to make it much easier to carry out your daily activities.
As we’ve already established, dental implants offer the closest available substitute to the natural tooth in terms of providing structure and functionality. This also avoids the pitfalls of other options such as dentures which can move around depending on how well they have been fitted.
Since dental implants are attached to the jaw, they can offer a more permanent solution.
When you consider how important it is to live your daily life with ease, comfort and confidence, dental implants can offer a truly transformative solution across the board.
