Find Out About Dental Implants at Archway Dental Kelly Bray

It can be upsetting to lose some or all of your natural teeth. Accidents happen on and off
the sports field, but most of us lose our teeth as we age, not because of a hockey stick
swing, cricket bat or a football boot. Ouch.
Thanks to advances in modern dentistry, you are no longer limited to bridges, dentures, and
flexible dentures. Implant dentistry provides a clinically proven and safe solution for
regaining a beautiful smile and, importantly, provides the ability to bite and chew
confidently. Dental implants resemble natural teeth in appearance and function. They’re
set straight into the jaw, just like your natural teeth, so no additional supports, adhesives, or
dental creams are required, and there is no damage or discomfort to surrounding teeth or
gums.

How do Dental Implants work?

A dental implant is designed to replace a single tooth and is made in three parts:

A small titanium screw that fuses into the jaw
A connecting element (abutment), which forms a small post protruding above the gum line
Lastly, a tooth-shaped porcelain crown creates a natural appearance!

When you lose your natural teeth, your jaw bone and surrounding tissues start to resorb or disappear over time. When implants are placed in the jaw, it stimulates the remaining bone to grow and mesh around the metal, along with tiny blood vessels, preventing bone loss. In fact, dental implants will help the overall structure and stability of your mouth; the retained bone structure prevents the face from acquiring that collapsed 'sunken' look.

Dental Implants — The Lifestyle Benefits

We are passionate about helping our patients achieve the best possible oral health and quality of life. That's why we truly believe in the transformative power of dental implants. They offer a range of incredible benefits that can improve not only your oral health but your overall well-being too. That's one of the most important aspects of what we do!

For starters, it’s an investment in your oral health, which dental implants can significantly improve. Replacing missing teeth can help prevent further dental problems such as gum disease and bone loss. Unlike traditional dentures or bridges, dental implants are anchored in the jawbone, stimulating bone growth and preventing bone loss over time.

But that's not all. Dental implants also offer cosmetic benefits that can boost your self-confidence and enhance your appearance. We know missing teeth can cause embarrassment and self-consciousness, but dental implants look and feel like natural teeth, providing a more natural-looking smile and improving your overall facial appearance.

With dental implants, you can eat, speak, and smile confidently without worrying about loose or ill-fitting dentures or bridges, and no more Fixadent! You'll get time back — we love this — and your overall quality of life will be vastly improved.

And the best part? Dental implants are designed to last a lifetime with proper care and maintenance. Unlike traditional dentures or bridges, they do not require regular replacements or adjustments, making them a cost-effective and convenient option for you.
