If you dread any social interaction because you are embarrassed about your teeth and hide your mouth with your hand when talking or smiling, then a trip to see us at Farnham Road Dental Practice could just be the thing for you!
One of our many different solutions for a whole array of dental problems is that of dental implants in Guildford. As we get older it can become harder and harder to grow old gracefully with a beautiful smile if you have teeth missing from decay or from a sporting accident. But just how do implants work and are they the best option for your needs?
How dental implants work
If you have knocked out a tooth by accident or even have one missing due to gum disease, your dental practitioner may suggest dental implants in Guildford as a solution for you. Modern day implants look like natural teeth and can last, if looked after well, for a very, very long time.
Vintage is the groovy trend at the moment, but not when it comes to a nice set of pearlies! But don’t panic, super modern implants are in fashion now! And the procedure couldn’t be any simpler. A small, strong post, generally made from titanium, is placed into the jaw bone and then the artificial tooth is connected to it. Even if you have a number of teeth missing, it is possible to attach more than one tooth onto the implant, so that you get your normal functioning teeth and happy smile back. You will also need to be prepared to make regular trips back to your dentist before the actual implant is finally secured in your mouth, as our technicians will need a little time to craft the parts that are needed.
Oral health is the name of the game!
Everyone should have a good home oral health care regime and this is no different after you have had implants. Artificial teeth actually promote healthy bone growth and caring for them couldn’t be simpler. It’s easy, just make sure that you floss to prevent bacteria and plaque building up and brush your teeth twice a day.
Goodbye gaps and hello new pearly whites!
Once you have come and discussed your needs with us and we have laid all your options out on the table, you will be at the beginning of your new dental journey. We will ensure that we are with you every step of the way, this support will ultimately help you to reach your goal, allowing you to regain your confidence and boost your self-esteem.
With a regime of good home oral health care, combined with regular check-ups on your artificial teeth from your dentist, a brand new smile should last for many years to come.
So get with the trend of modern, magnificent dentistry and enjoy your life again, laughing and chatting…and all without your hand in front of your mouth!
