Teeth don\u2019t fall out all together as a team. You may get one knocked out when you are young. If it\u2019s at the front you probably get it replaced, but if it\u2019s at the side, you probably leave it as no one can see it. But, then your neighbouring teeth start to come out of place, tip into the gap and one day another one comes loose and falls out.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-612\" src=\"https:\/\/www.oldwindsordental.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/replace-missing-teeth-1.jpg\" alt=\"Dental Implants in Berkshire\" width=\"325\" height=\"217\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.oldwindsordental.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/replace-missing-teeth-1.jpg 325w, https:\/\/www.oldwindsordental.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/replace-missing-teeth-1-50x33.jpg 50w, https:\/\/www.oldwindsordental.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/replace-missing-teeth-1-200x134.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 325px) 100vw, 325px\" \/>Or perhaps, night time tooth grinding finally takes its toll on your teeth and two at the side come out and now you can\u2019t chew on that side. Or maybe, your teeth are just not that strong and they are starting to fail one after the other.<\/p>\n<p>However your teeth are falling out, rest assured that there is a way to replace them that will give you back what you have lost, with no added hassle. At <strong>The Old Windsor Dental Practice in Windsor<\/strong>, we can restore your mouth to its former glory with dental implants.<\/p>\n<p>That may sound like a big promise, but 30 years of dental implants being available has shown that people really do get the full functionality of their mouths back with this treatment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why dental implants are so great<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The most important difference between dental implants and dentures or fixed bridges is how they are fixed into the mouth. Dental implants are replacement roots that go into the jawbone. Neither of the other 2 methods replaces the root of the tooth as well as the crown.<\/p>\n<p>The dental implant is the replacement root. It is a titanium screw or post that we fit into a channel that we make in your jawbone.<\/p>\n<p>Once it is in, it will take several weeks for the bone to grow new bone cells and blood vessels all over the surface of the implant. Once this process, known as osseointegration, is complete, the implant is as firmly anchored as a natural tooth is. You will be able to bite into your food just as if you had your own teeth. Nothing will be off the menu.<\/p>\n<p>To find out more, please call and make an appointment for a consultation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Life is not always tidy, and neither is tooth loss.
