Things have moved on a lot since your granny lost her teeth and had to replace them with dentures that everyone knew weren\u2019t real teeth. Remember them? The gums were too pink, the teeth were too white and perfect for an old lady, and they clicked and whistled when she spoke.<\/p>\n

\"DentalIf you\u2019ve been dreading having to have dentures yourself, then dread no longer, because you don\u2019t have to. You can have dental implants in Windsor<\/a> instead, from us at The Old Windsor Dental Practice<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve never heard of dental implants in Windsor, then count that as a good omen. Whereas everyone knows about dentures because they have become comedy gold, dental implants are subtle and discreet and so like real teeth that they have no comedy value whatsoever.<\/p>\n

In fact, all around you, people are going about their daily business with dental implant-retained teeth filling in for the ones they\u2019ve lost and no one else is any the wiser, which is what you want from false teeth really.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how dental implants in Windsor work<\/strong><\/p>\n

Dental implants are little titanium posts or screws that are inserted into specially made channels in your jawbone. Once they are in, you can\u2019t chew on them straightaway. You have to give them 2-6 months to fuse with your jawbone.<\/p>\n

In that time, your jawbone will grow new bone tissue all over the surface of the implants, eventually holding them in place as firmly as natural teeth in their sockets. Once this process is complete, you will be able to eat anything you fancy, with no fear of your teeth wobbling or, heaven forbid, falling out.<\/p>\n

One dental implant can hold up to 3 crowns on a bridge, so you don\u2019t have to replace every tooth root. In fact, there are ways to replace entire arches of teeth on just a few carefully positioned dental implants. One technique is called All-on-4.<\/p>\n

Maintenance<\/strong><\/p>\n

Taking care of your dental implants in Windsor<\/strong> is as easy as your normal diligent dental care routine: brushing, flossing, mouthwashes and regular trips to the hygienist to get plaque removed. You can expect your dental implants to last for at least 15 years, possibly decades.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
