Preston Tooth Implants: Teeth That Look, Feel and Function like Your Own Teeth

The loss of a tooth, due to gum disease or a misfortunate accident , can have traumatic effect on a patient. Dental implants are the revolutionary technique enabling you to replace the missing tooth/teeth; recapturing the aesthetic nature of your smile and tooth function.

Implant therapy is a proven cosmetic solution that uses a man-made titanium "tooth root" That fuses to the jaw bone to form a secure foundation for tooth replacement.
This process is known as osseo-integration. Implants can be used to replace a single lost tooth or several missing teeth. By any measure be it appearance, comfort or function, when state of the art Dental Implants are combined with modern dental procedures, the result is likely to exceed your expectations.

The results achieved at our Preston Implant Centre with dental implants are amazing; they are by far the most natural alternative to your actual tooth. Patients who have lost teeth are able to regain their confidence with a beautiful, natural smile that will last a lifetime.

Dental Implants Versus Alternative Options

Depending on your particular problem, implants can be more costly than the alternatives ;{ bridge or over-denture}. While the upfront cost for implants can be more than for other types of restorations, the investment can pay off in the long run. You do not necessarily need an implant for every missing tooth. Your cosmetic dentist in Preston ; Dr. Tehranian can discuss how many implants you will need. Implants are the effective replacement for lost teeth that place into your jaw to hold a false tooth or bridge. As anchors in the jawbone, dental implants form a stable foundation for permanent attachment of the crown. These implants are more teeth saving than traditional crown and bridge, , grinding of adjacent teeth does not take place, and loss of bone tissue by atrophy is prevented, since implants, as "artificial dental roots", transmit the chewing forces into the jawbone.

A single implant as root substitute is the most elegant way of achieving a cosmetically ideal closure of the gap.In completely edentulous jaws, tooth implants are a secure fixation method for removable full dentures and so spare the patient the usual disadvantages of conventional "False teeth" and allow you to speak and eat with comfort without the worry of misplaced dentures.Other benefits of implants provided by your cosmetic dentis include:

• Feel - Because implants are embedded in your bone, they feel more like your natural teeth than bridges or dentures.
• Convenience - You will not need to worry about denture adhesives or having your dentures slip, click or fall out when you speak.
• Nutrition - You will be able to chew better with implants. Chewing can be difficult with regular dentures, especially ones that don't fit perfectly. A regular upper denture also covers your palate, which can reduce your sense of taste.
• Self-esteem , Because implants are so much like your natural teeth, you will think about them less. Your self-esteem and confidence will be improved because you will not have to worry about denture problems or people noticing that you have missing teeth. Regular dentures also can affect your speech, which can make you less self-confident when talking with others.

Tooth Implants - How long do they last?

Two of the major questions that people ask when it comes to dental implants is, "What is the long-term success rate? and "How long will they last?
The simple answer to the long-term success rate of dental implants is that dental implants can fail, but fortunately very infrequently. Failure rates vary depending on the site in the mouth, whether they are placed into natural or grafted bone and whether the patient smokes. The overall success rates in natural bone is 95%, though this falls to between 85 and 90% in grafted bone. If a patient smokes it has been shown that they are statistically two and a half times more likely to have an implant failure than a non-smoker.
As to the longevity of dental implants, honestly at the present time we cannot answer this question. At the moment we can only say that the first patient who had dental implants placed in 1965 still has his original implants in function today.
With that being said, undoubtedly, the best steps to take avoid encountering ailing or failing dental implants are to maintain meticulous oral hygiene, and evaluate the dental implant both clinically and radiographically at frequent recall visits with your cosmetic dentist in Preston.
