Dental implants a twenty-first century solution!

For thousands of years the problem of losing teeth has elicited attempts at a variety of solutions. Pieces of shell were shaped and put into the socket of a lost tooth, bamboo has been tried and many other variations. In the 1950s an orthopaedic surgeon managed to devise a treatment that has proved to be extremely beneficial. Modern dentistry has further developed this therapy and our skilled team uses this modern system of dental implants Windsor to help provide our patients with stable tooth replacements. Modern bridges and dentures have been the standard way to replace missing teeth, but they lack one advantage that dental implants Windsor can contribute. When you lose a tooth, your body identifies that there is no longer a need to supply that tooth with nutrients and minerals and redirects that supply elsewhere. The result is that a process starts referred to as resorption and that part of the bone where your tooth was begins to lose density resulting in a sunken appearance to your face. Replacing your lost tooth with a titanium post which is inserted into your jawbone alerts your body and the bone starts to regenerate. dental-implants-windsor

Bone density

The density of your jawbone is a vital factor in determining your suitability for an implant. Incredible advances have been made in bone augmentation, which has resulted in a larger number of dental patients being able to enjoy the benefits of an implant. Using two main methods jawbone density can be increased by a bone graft and bone augmentation. Bone grafting is a way of helping to stimulate and encourage bone healing when you have had a tooth removed. Ridge augmentation is the process of forming and shaping the bone that has grown.

A traumatic event

We are all becoming increasingly more aware of the importance of our teeth and to lose one makes it quite a traumatic event. Teeth can be lost either through accident or tooth decay. Losing a tooth from the back of your mouth may not be as conspicuous, but it will result in changes to how you chew. The gap left by the lost tooth will also cause the teeth next to it to move. Losing a front tooth can cause you to feel self-conscious and embarrassed. To be able to receive a permanent, stable replacement that looks and feels like your normal tooth is mentally uplifting. We are fortunate to have a dental clinician in our team, who has the experience of over thirty years of replacing patients’ lost teeth with dental implants Windsor. You can, therefore, draw confidence from his knowledge and skill.
