With dental implants, a dentist has a permanent way to replace your missing natural teeth. Victoria Road Dental Clinic in Ruislip offers implant-based treatment to restore both function and aesthetic appearance to your smile. Implants can be used to replace anything from one to all the teeth in one or both jaws.
At our Ruislip dental clinic we are always keen to emphasise that any missing teeth should always be promptly replaced – ideally as soon as possible after tooth loss. When even one tooth is missing, the remaining teeth are instantly put under extra strain. These teeth also have a tendency to move into any gaps left behind, often becoming crooked and harder to clean in the process.
When several or all the teeth are missing, there are negative impacts on diet, speech, and self-confidence. At our Ruislip clinic, a skilled implant dentist can use dental implants to provide a long-term solution to tooth loss. As well as keeping your new teeth in position, dental implants help to prevent the jaw bone from shrinking, which is a common side-effect of losing many teeth.
Dental implants replace the roots of lost teeth. Your Ruislip dentist can then attach either a single crown, a denture, or an implant-retained bridge to abutments on top of your dental implants, creating a highly realistic action as well as an attractive, natural-looking smile.
By choosing dental implants you will avoid many of the problems commonly associated with traditional dentures. Because the implants and new teeth won’t become loose, you will be able to enjoy eating whatever you like, can speak clearly, and can get back to enjoying your social life without fear of your teeth slipping or falling out unexpectedly.
Most of the implant patients at our Ruislip clinic only need local anaesthetic for dental implants surgery. Your dentist undertakes extensive planning using the latest three-dimensional computer imaging software prior to your implant placement, so from a patient’s point of view it is usually a relatively simple process.
Any post-operative discomfort will be slight, and can be managed effectively with over-the-counter painkillers and ice packs.
