Benefits of having dental implants
Many people who have missing teeth in their adult years are looking for straightforward ways to replace them without the hassle of trying out multiple dental adhesives.
Over the last few years in dental care, there has been something of an upsurge in the restorative and cosmetic field of dental implants, with more dental clinics offering this option to their suitable patients, which is great!
At Coptfold Dental, we are proud to offer dental implants Brentwood as part of our restorative dental work, and we will gladly provide you with top-notch fitting, advice on aftercare and the most in-depth assessment and advice relating to your suitability.
But you may have heard that dental implants are all bark and no bite, so to speak and that many people who have had them state that they are not as great as they were initially cracked up to be. But our team, as well as our patients, found that getting dental implants Brentwood is an easy and efficient way to restore a smile.
Better bite
Many people who have missing teeth report that their bite does not feel as strong as they would like. This can be a real problem if you are a fan of eating hard foods! Luckily, dental implants Brentwood can be affixed to your jaw via surgery and fusing, and once the prosthetic teeth are placed on top of them, they will not move, allowing you to bite with more strength.
Better oral health
Gapped teeth are not only a problem for your smile; they can also act as a breeding ground for plaque and bacteria, meaning that any surrounding teeth in your mouth will be at a higher risk of decay. As dental implants close the gaps and do not provide a way for bacteria to get underneath them, they can reduce the chance of you developing tooth decay and gum disease.
Better digestion
Your teeth are part of your digestive system, meaning that they are required to grind down food. If you have some parts missing, any food you eat is less likely to be broken down to the correct size, meaning that it will be harder for you to digest. Dental implants remove this issue, and you will likely experience fewer issues with heartburn or acid reflux as the food you eat will be more thoroughly broken down.
Better look
Dental implants, or rather the prosthetics attached to them, can be of any colour, shade and shape to blend in with any surrounding teeth you have, so nobody will know they are prosthetic. Of course, if you have implants fitted to have an entire set of dentures attached, you can go for the phosphorescent Hollywood grin if you wish to, but either way, they will offer an advanced and pleasing aesthetic look.
Better longevity
With correct aftercare, which is simply brushing twice a day, flossing and visiting our team for check-ups, dental implants can easily last for 20 years or more. Please be aware that gum disease is one of the leading causes of failed dental implants, so you will need to keep an eye out for this.
