What are dental implants?

With the global spotlight being shone onto dental implants, it is hard to believe that so many people are unaware of what they actually are.

The dental implants in Windsor that we offer our patients are comprised of two main parts; the implant and the prosthesis.

The implant(s) are typically small, titanium screws that are attached to the jawbone and must be deemed to be secure by your dentist before the prosthesis is fitted. This can take up to two months to confirm and includes multiple X-rays and scans, so you must have a patient disposition.

Depending on the amount of natural tooth loss you have, you may need fewer or more implants attached to your jaw for the fitting of the prosthesis.

The prosthesis that is fitted can vary from a single tooth, to partial bridge or an entire upper and lower set of dentures, to provide you with your desired, finished look.

Advantages of dental implants

The popularity of dental implants is climbing; with more patients than ever seeking them out across the UK to improve their smiles and confidence, there are other advantages of having dental implants in Windsor fitted, that stretch far beyond cosmetic appearances.

Improved bite

When you lose multiple natural teeth, your bite may become weaker and you will find it harder to bite into more solid foods like apples.

When dental implants are fitted, they improve the strength and precision of your bite, so you are able to bite into as many apples or pears as you desire without worry.

No rubbing or blisters

Dentures and bridges can and often do come loose, causing issues like rubbing and blisters to form on your gum line.

As prostheses are attached to the secure implants, they are unable to move and do not cause issues with friction or ulcers on your gum line.

Improved bone density

When you lose a tooth or teeth, the jawbone around the missing tooth recedes. If you have teeth around the missing tooth, can cause them to move out of line.

Implants improve your jawbone’s density and therefore secure any natural teeth that you have remaining around your missing tooth.
