Your teeth do more than simply assist with chewing. They play a major role in your appearance, self-confidence, speech, and overall quality of life. A beautiful smile can enhance your charisma and positively impact both your professional and social interactions. Conversely, missing or damaged teeth can affect your food choices, limit your nutrition, and impair your speech. Good oral health leads to better general health, reinforcing just how essential it is to maintain a complete and healthy set of teeth.
Missing teeth can be replaced with dental implants in Cullompton, the current preferred method worldwide. Unlike traditional bridges or removable dentures, dental implants replicate the natural tooth root, providing a foundation for a crown, bridge, or denture that feels and functions like a natural tooth.
Millions of patients across the globe have already benefited from this elegant solution. The advantages over bridges and dentures are significant. Implants offer a natural appearance because they look and feel like your real teeth. They are highly durable and with proper care, implants are designed to last for many years, often a lifetime. Implants also help preserve bone by replacing the root and stimulating bone tissue. There is no impact on neighbouring teeth unlike bridges, as there is no need to grind down adjacent healthy teeth. Additionally, implants improve comfort by eliminating the discomfort, slippage, and sore spots often experienced with traditional dentures.
The dental implant procedure is minimally invasive and highly predictable thanks to modern techniques. First, an initial consultation provides a comprehensive assessment to determine your suitability for implants. Nearly everyone who is missing teeth is now a candidate. Then, a small titanium post is gently placed into the jawbone during a minor surgical procedure, often under local anaesthetic. Over the course of 6 to 12 weeks, the bone integrates with the implant, creating a strong and durable anchor. Finally, a custom-made crown, bridge, or denture is securely attached to the implant, restoring your smile both aesthetically and functionally.
Whether you have lost a single tooth, several teeth, or require a full-arch restoration, dental implants offer flexible solutions. A single implant supports one crown, replicating your lost tooth almost perfectly. For multiple missing teeth, implants can support a bridge or multiple crowns, replacing several missing teeth without impacting healthy ones. Those missing all teeth can regain a fixed, non-removable bridge anchored by several implants, achieving maximum stability and chewing power. Implants can also be used to stabilise and support removable dentures, ensuring a secure and comfortable fit.
The dental implant cost depends on several factors, including the number of implants needed, the complexity of your case, and the type of final restoration. Following a detailed initial assessment, you will receive a personalised treatment plan outlining the steps and estimated fees, ensuring complete transparency and peace of mind.
Just as with natural teeth, dental implants require regular check-ups and diligent oral hygiene. Routine professional cleanings and examinations are essential to ensure your new smile stays healthy and beautiful for years to come. With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime, restoring both function and confidence.
