Dental Implants

Implants - a second chance for teeth

Dental implants are a substitute for the root portion of your tooth and made from high quality titanium. Here at Smile Design Dental in Buckinghamshire we use only the latest Nobel Biocare and Astra dental implant systems. Dominic is a highly experienced implantologist with a great deal of experience in advanced implant procedures such as bone grafting and sinus lifts should they be required.

Dental implants offer the most stable and aesthetic solution for missing teeth, making dentures and unsightly gaps a thing of the past. They form a solid foundation for permanent replacement teeth that look great, fell natural and work like your natural teeth.

Missing teeth can severely undermine your self-confidence and quality of life. The consequences of this are often reflected in bad eating habits, altered appearance and an ultimate deterioration in your health that can lead to all kinds of associated problems. In particular ‘denture sores’ and unstable dentures can be a real source of social embarrassment and can become so overwhelming as to avoid any social contact and even result in varying levels of depression.

Dentures are used when most or all the teeth are missing. They are usually loose and uncomfortable as well as causing embarrassment. But more importantly they can cause damage to adjacent teeth. By fixing loose dentures with dental implants or mini dental implants, we can give greater stability, support and retention to dentures and spare you the misery of the many problems associated with traditional false teeth. Many of our patients are amazed in the difference to the quality of life that dental implants can make giving them the confidence to enjoy solid foods again without any discomfort.

Another serious consequence of tooth loss is the compromise to your facial structure. When a tooth is lost, the bone that previously surrounded the tooth is eventually starved, leading to premature ageing and weak muscular support. Dental implants will preserve the bone by providing stimulation that was previously provided by the natural tooth roots, thereby maintaining the integrity of your facial structures and preventing premature ageing.

Dental implants can improve your quality of life!

Dental implants:

• Are the closest replacement possible to natural teeth
• Eliminate the pain and looseness of ill – fitting partial and full dentures
• Maintain the integrity of facial structures
• Do not destroy adjacent teeth – no need to grind teeth for a bridge
• Allow for superior long term aesthetics
• Restore lip support and can minimise wrinkles around the mouth
• Are stable teeth for eating and smiling with confidence
