Dental Implants Bury & Manchester

Having missing teeth can not only have a detrimental effect on your smile, but also on day to day life. Do you find yourself covering your smile when you laugh? When you go for a meal do you order what you know you won’t struggle to eat, not what you would like? Luckily there is a solution.

Tooth loss can result from a number of things, but most commonly an accident or gum disease. Luckily the old methods of replacing missing teeth, such as a denture or a bridge, are now no longer needed and a cosmetically pleasing, permanent replacement is available for patients in the form of dental implants. When opting for dental implants none of the adjacent teeth are used giving you the most natural look possible.

A dental implant is a small titanium screw that is placed into your jaw. The bone in your jaw then grows around the screw integrating it into your jaw just like a natural tooth root, your dental implant will feel and behave exactly as a natural tooth would. Teeth replaced by dental implants are fixed just like natural teeth freeing you from the pain caused due to the shifting pressure of partial dentures or tooth preparation procedures for bridgework, allowing you to eat whatever you like whilst enjoying the texture and crunchiness of foods to the full.

When a patient looses a tooth the jawbone shrinks away, research shows that wearing dentures speeds up this process, and can result in loss of muscle tone and support of the cheek and lips. This creates an aged appearance in the patient. Dental Implants will stop any further shrinkage of bone and keep intact the muscle and support framework of the cheek and lips.

It has even stopped people from furthering their career as they have not wanted to go to job interviews or speak publicly.
