Considering dental implants in Brentwood for long-lasting results?
Make a lasting change to your smile
Here at Coptfold Dental, we know that for those out there who live each day missing either one or more of their teeth, life can be challenging to say the least. We also know, however, that by choosing to get dental implants Brentwood from our efficient and professional practitioners, we can fully reverse all dental problems and discomforts which are associated with missing teeth once and for all.
Most people who have missing teeth tend to opt for treatments such as bridges or dentures to fill the space – however these treatments do not provide a permanent solution and can cause growing discomfort the longer time goes on.
What actually are dental implants Brentwood?
Although we’ve been providing dental implants to our patients for several years now, there are still many people out there who aren’t aware of what implants actually are. Dental implants as we know them today first emerged in 1965 after breakthrough discoveries were made about the biocompatibility of titanium and human bone.
Before this time implants had existed in some capacity for thousands of years, but had never been as permanent or life changing until this point. Principally dental implants have an advantage in the way they work, which is just like a natural tooth, as they can be embedded inside a patient’s jawbone permanently.
What this means is that those who choose dental implants Brentwood from us here at our practice can not only improve how their smile looks, but also how it feels – as dental implants are the closest thing in terms of functionality and comfort to having a whole set of natural teeth.
Because they are fused within your mouth permanently, the process of getting dental implants involves a relatively simple dental surgery – although despite being a somewhat more invasive treatment than dentures and bridges, the benefits of getting dental implants speak for themselves.
What does getting implants involve?
If you or someone close to you has either a single or multiple teeth missing, regardless of their age or how long ago the loss happened, it is always worth speaking with one of our professional practitioners here at our surgery.
The first stage for those who are interested in getting implants involves a no-obligation consultation and preliminary assessment of your oral health. This is a great way for anyone who is interested in implants, but unsure about the specifics of the treatments, to ask any questions they may have and it also lets our practitioners establish if your oral health is in fit enough shape for the treatment to be successful.
After this consultation, and if you are deemed eligible, we can then schedule you in for the surgery. This surgery involves inserting a titanium-alloy tooth socket into your jawbone, before closing it and leaving it to fuse with your bone tissue.
Once the socket has had time to fuse together with your jawbone it can then be utilised as a fixed point to attach a prosthetic to – thus replicating how a natural tooth is embedded and completing the implant process.
