Missing teeth? Could dental implants be for you?
If you’re missing a tooth (or more than one), or you know someone who is, this message is for you.
Because in days gone by, losing a tooth usually meant having to compromise – maybe using a denture.
And while there’s absolutely a place for that solution, modern dentistry has come a long way in the last few years, with dental implants leading the way when it comes to replacing lost teeth.
Now, there’s all sorts of information around about dental implants, some of it accurate, some of it less so, and with that in mind, I thought we’d just unpack the subject a little, to give you the information you need to work out whether they’re right for you or not.
What are dental implants?
Think of dental implants as the foundations for rebuilding smiles where teeth have been lost.
The implants themselves are small titanium posts placed gently into your jawbone, acting as replacement tooth roots.
Over time, they join with your bone (super clever, right?), giving a rock-solid base for a brand new crown that’ll look the part.
Whether you’ve lost one tooth or many, implants can step in and make it feel like you never lost them at all.
What are the main benefits of dental implants?
They look (and feel) like real teeth.
Seriously – you’d never know. Each replacement tooth is custom-made to match your natural ones in colour, shape and size.
They help you look younger.
When you lose a tooth, your jawbone starts to shrink, which over time can lead to that sunken, aged look.
Implants help keep your jawbone healthy by encouraging it to stay strong and full, which means a fresher, more youthful you.
They improve your confidence
With dental implants, you don’t have to think twice before biting into an apple, speaking in public, or laughing at your favourite series.
They stay put – no slipping, no clicking, no awkward moments.
They last and last. And last.
Implants are built to go the distance. With the right care (just like you’d give your natural teeth), they can last for decades – sometimes even a lifetime.
So while they may feel like a big step, they’re also a smart long-term investment in your smile and quality of life.
Completely comfortable
No more taking dentures out at night. No more sore spots or adhesives. Dental implants are fixed in place, and because they become part of your jawbone, they feel completely natural. After a while, you’ll probably forget they’re even there.
