Don’t Let Missing Teeth Stress You

by Lucy Petterson The Mindful Dentist in London
Embarrassed about your smile because of a few missing teeth? Are your missing teeth affecting your speech, eating habits or self-confidence?

There are many individuals with single or more than one missing permanent tooth. And though one may not realize, there are numerous things that could happen because of the loss of a permanent tooth, some of which can be very serious too. These conditions can include:

• Jaw Bone shrinkage
• Increased gum recession
• Misaligned jaw 
• Gum infection and disease
• Moving or shifting of adjacent teeth
• Additional tooth loss
• Improper bite
• Looking aged
 
Worry not! These conditions can easily be prevented if you get the missing tooth replaced by dental implants. Dental implants have lots of advantages over traditional methods like dentures and bridges. For instance, unlike bridges in dental implants no adjacent teeth are grinded. Also, dental implants do not cause the problem such as slurred speech and difficulty in chewing which are commonly faced by people with dentures. 

Listed below are the top reasons why the implants are the most ideal solution for missing teeth:
Permanent - Dental implants are a permanent solution. An implant is mounted in the jaw bone. Then a tooth is placed over it. The process is such that after placing an implant in the jaw bone, over a few weeks, the jaw bone engulfs the dental implant. This way it becomes stronger and unmovable. This engulfing makes the procedure a permanent one.
 
Reliable - The implanted tooth is as good as a real one and he /she can eat anything with it without fear! Dental implants do not involve any wire, or hurt the gums, nor do they damage the remaining natural teeth. There is absolutely no pain. The replaced teeth are strong. In fact some folks with dental implants South East London also claim their experience with implanted teeth is way better than with their natural teeth! So we can say dental implants are a reliable way of replacing missing teeth.
 
Compatible - An implant looks just like normal teeth. A dental specialist would carry out a detailed procedure to examine the state of the natural teeth and then plan your implant. A lot of planning goes into ensuring the compatibility of the restored teeth with the existing normal teeth. And the end result is such that no one would be able to distinguish between normal or implanted ones.
 
Bone strengthening - Holding the teeth in position makes the jawbone strong. Teeth loss results in a reduction of the bone's strength. This deteriorating condition of the jaw bone slowly leads to the disfiguration of the face. It also puts the remaining teeth at a higher risk of falling due to a fragile jaw bone. With implants, the teeth are fixed at the exact location in the bone. This way a dental implants South East London assists in strengthening the jaw bone and preserving other natural teeth.
 
Two Types of Dental Implants
Endosteal Implants - As the name suggests, endosteal implants are the one that is "in the bone" which means they are implanted directly into the jawbone with a surgical procedure. Post the healing of the surrounding tissue, another surgery is required to connect the post to the first implant. This is followed up by the final step of attaching the artificial tooth.

Subperiosteal Implants – Subperiosteal implants are the dental implants made from metal frame. This frame is implanted in the jawbone just below the gum tissue. Over a few weeks, as the gum tissue heals, the metal becomes fixed in the jawbone. There are posts that are attached to the metal frame. These posts stick out of the gums, which are used for mounting of the artificial teeth or crowns.

Not everyone needs a dental implant, but if you do need it, then you know it is safe and also the best option for you.
