Implants are small metal screws that are placed into the jaw during a minor operation. As the jaw heals, the blood vessels and bone mesh around the metal, holding it firmly in place. When they are stable, the implants can be used as a base for dentures, crowns or bridges and anchor them to the gum in the same way as the root would for a natural tooth. They can be used to replace just one tooth or a whole set, so having <a href=\"https:\/\/www.oldwindsordental.com\/dental-implants-in-windsor\">dental implants in Windsor<\/a> is a flexible option for everyone.<\/p>\n<p><strong>New techniques<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We are proud to offer All-on-4 <strong>dental implants in Windsor<\/strong> and have seen how they can dramatically enhance the quality of life for our patients. This is a great new method where a whole arch of teeth can be fitted to just four dental implants in a day. Any existing teeth are removed, the implants are placed and high-quality fixed temporary teeth are fitted. After six months, during which the jaw heals, a durable, permanent bridge with a titanium framework is fitted. This avoids the problems of dentures or bridges that are insecure, poorly fitted or painful.<\/p>\n<p>You can take the first step towards a brighter smile and a more enjoyable future when you get in touch with us today in Windsor.
