What can I do about a missing tooth?
If you have a missing tooth or loose ill-fitting dentures then dental implants could provide you with a viable and permanent solution to the personal and practical issues that this can cause.
Eating, speaking and even general self-esteem can be greatly affected due to a missing tooth and dental implants can significantly help to improve quality of life and self-confidence- helping you to feel happy about smiling again.
Depending on your overall health, implants are generally suitable for people of all ages and no matter what the condition of your teeth, there are a number of treatments available at X Dental to help restore your smile and improve your quality of life. Dental implants arelong-term solutions.
How does a Dental Implant work?
Dental implants replace the roots of your natural teeth and support a manufactured crown or bridge. Your natural tooth consists of two parts- the crown, which is what you see in your mouth and the root which is under the gum and holds the tooth in place. Dental implants are designed to best replicate this natural tooth structure – with the crown being made of porcelain to look like a natural tooth and the dental implant made of strong titanium acting as the root. Titanium is well tolerated by the body and once implanted in the jaw, bone grows onto the surfaces of the implant.
