Having missing teeth can affect both your oral health and your confidence, and you may be looking for a way to resolve this. With dental implants Essex, your lost teeth can be replaced to a high standard, and with a natural look.
What are they?
Dental implants Essex can be a very effective treatment when it comes to replacing lost teeth, and this is partly due to their structure. They are usually made out of three parts, the first being the implant screw. The screw is the piece that is the foundation for your new tooth. On top of this, we will attach the abutment, which holds the crown in place. The crown is the part that really makes the difference to the appearance of your smile, as it is a piece of porcelain that is coloured and shaped to look like your other teeth.
What’s our process?
When you come to our practice for dental implants Essex, it is very important that we have a consultation with you. This appointment allows us to explain all of the information about the treatment, and answer any questions you may have. After this, we will examine your mouth and take scans such as X-rays to get a better idea of your needs. It is vital that we make sure you have enough bone left in the area for your implant screw to be held in place.
Once we have had the consultation with you and you are eligible and ready to go ahead, we will book your first surgical appointment. During this appointment we will insert the implant screw, which is a simple and fairly quick process. We will then close the area back up and leave it to heal for a few months. This is a very important part of the whole process, as this healing time allows your bone to fuse with the screw.
Once the area has healed, we will invite you back to the practice so that we can attach the abutment and the crown. This is when you will really see the difference that implants can make to the look of your smile.
At Crofts Dental Practice, our team of highly trained dentists will take very good care of you before, during and after the treatment. They will always put your needs first, and make sure that you have the best experience possible whilst improving the look of your smile.
Why choose implants?
This treatment is a very popular choice with our patients when it comes to replacing their teeth, and you can see why from some of the advantages mentioned below.
Strong
One of the main things that you will notice when you get implants with us, is how strong they are. When you have your implants, you won’t have to worry about food restrictions, as they can withstand the usual forces of chewing that your natural teeth can.
Appearance
The look of your smile once we have put your implants in is the main reason why our patients choose this treatment. When you have missing teeth, it can feel embarrassing and can knock your self-confidence, so to be able to replace the tooth with something that looks and feels natural is a huge advantage.
