There are many reasons why patients have missing teeth. You may have missing teeth because of an accident, poor oral hygiene, an illness, medication, or smoking. Whatever the reason for you having one or more missing teeth, you will need to replace them to ensure that you maintain good oral health. Missing teeth have also been linked to other health issues, such as heart disease, so it is really important to address the problem. At Smilessence, we have an award-winning dentist, Dr Karen, who delivers the dental implant treatment, using the latest technology and techniques to achieve excellent results. As a judge for the dentist awards, and a key opinion leader for Dentsply Sirona, a large dental manufacturer, Dr Karen is renowned in her field for her work in dentistry, particularly in restorative treatments such as dental implants. Finding a dentist in Molesey is certainly an easy task with Smilessence in town!
Dental implants
Dental implants are used by our dentist in Molesey to securely and permanently fit replacement teeth of crowns, bridges or dentures. With dental implants, you won’t need to worry about removing the implants at all. This is because they consist of metal screws that are attached securely to your jawbone, when your gums heal around them. The replacement teeth may then be attached to them, using an abutment. This allows you to have a natural looking smile that acts like one too, because you won’t need to worry about avoiding hard food, for example, or watch out for your teeth loosening, while you are talking. Dental implants could just be the next best thing to having natural teeth.
Easy to maintain
Dental implants are not complicated to look after for patients. Once they have been fitted, during a first appointment, where you will be given local anaesthetic, you will have temporary replacement teeth added to them. Once the gums have healed, you will then return to us for your permanent replacement teeth to be fitted. To ensure that these teeth last you as long as a lifetime, all you need to do is brush, floss, and come to see us for your regular routine dental check-ups. If you are able to maintain these high standards of oral care, your teeth could serve you well for years to come.
Health benefits
The great thing about having dental implants is that it can markedly improve your speech if you struggled with this when you had missing teeth. You may also find that chewing your food is much easier with a full set of teeth, and that any jaw pain you may have had will be reduced or gone completely. You could even find that you look younger by replacing the missing teeth as it adds the structure to your face that the skin needs to be supported and smooth.
