Dental implants as the best option for replacing missing teeth

Dental implants Ryde are a long-lasting solution to replacing missing or irreversibly damaged teeth. Here at Spa Dental Ryde we recommend dental implants as opposed to other tooth replacement methods. Dental implants Ryde are strong and reliable and they are permanently embedded into your jawbone to act as a strong foundation for replacing a single tooth or multiple teeth. Other options for replacing missing teeth such as removable dentures and bridges are still very helpful, however, there are significant advantages of dental implants Ryde in comparison.

Many people are seeking to replace their removable dentures with dental implants and implant-retained dentures. Traditional dentures can become loose, they can restrict what you can eat and they cover the palate of your mouth, which means that sometimes they can affect your sense of taste and may become uncomfortable if worn for long periods at a time. With dental implants you can feel reassured that they are fixed in your mouth, they do not affect your choice of food or drink and they do not affect your enjoyment of food detrimentally. They also feel and they look like natural teeth.

Previously a bridge was one of the most popular methods of replacing missing teeth. The issue with bridges is that they require significant modification of the healthy teeth on either side of the missing tooth and this can lead to dental complications in the future, such as nerve damage or root canals. In comparison if you have a dental implant then your healthy teeth remain untouched which is a significant advantage.

Dental implants for tooth replacement

Dental implants have a success rate of more than 95% and they are suitable for adults of all ages. To find out if dental implants are suitable for you, there is the option to book a consultation here at Spa Dental Ryde where you will undergo a thorough examination of your teeth and gums to begin with. Our dentist will look for any underlying dental issues which may need to be addressed before you are ready for dental implant surgery. You will have an X-ray of your mouth so that we can assess your bone health and we can measure the extent of the healthy bone to decide whether or not you require bone grafting. We will also be able to calculate the width and length of the dental implant required for you. Dental implants are small titanium screws and they are placed directly into the bone socket of your missing tooth.
