Advanced tooth replacement, dental implants Brentwood!
We adopt so many modern day developments to ensure that we are ready and able to cope with the twenty-first century. When it comes to dental care, many of us have electric toothbrushes to make our oral hygiene more effective and efficient. There are, however, still occasions when we lose a tooth either through an accident or tooth decay. Preventive dentistry is the way to avoid losing a tooth through decay and, as the message of proper oral hygiene filters through, hopefully fewer teeth will be lost due to this cause. The dental profession has been developing new treatments, and procedures with the aid of technology and tooth replacement is no longer reliant on just bridges and dentures. A twenty-first century dental patient expects to receive twenty-first century treatment, which is why we offer up to date dental implants Brentwood treatment. 
More than just a tooth lost
To lose a tooth is quite a shock to the system and, depending on which tooth is lost, can also have a psychological effect. A front tooth is a very visible feature of your face and can therefore cause a degree of embarrassment. A rear tooth can be equally disconcerting because it affects the way that you have to chew your food and can in fact result in a diet alteration. Beyond the obvious effects, there is also the fact that when you lose a tooth your body adjusts and your jawbone starts to deteriorate. This has the knock on effect of your gums which will begin to progressively recede. Additionally, your face may take on a sunken appearance in the area of the lost tooth. Implantology is not only a way to replace a lost tooth, it also helps the body begin to supply the necessary nutrients to start regenerating the bone in that area.
Bone augmentation
The density of the jawbone is a crucial factor when considering dental implants Brentwood because creating a sound, solid platform is one of the objectives. To achieve this, it is necessary to place a titanium post into the jawbone to act as the root for the prosthetic tooth. Fortunately, bone augmentation has been developing new and effective ways of regenerating bone. This has resulted in more patients being able to enjoy the benefits of an implant.
Different adaptations
Over the decades dental implants Brentwood have adapted to be able to be used in conjunction with bridges and dentures. Placing a single implant with an abutment and a crown to match the shape and colour of the surrounding teeth is a procedure which these days is considered almost routine. A whole mouthful of teeth can be replaced with just four implants being anchored into your jawbone.
Restoring functions and diet
Once the procedure has been completed and a period of healing has expired, it is possible to gradually return to chewing naturally and comfortably. Taking care of your new teeth is also the same as caring for your natural teeth. Proper and regular oral hygiene will ensure that your prosthetic and natural teeth should last for many years to come. Our experienced and skilled dentists are here to help you find the right solution for your lost teeth problems.
