We know losing a tooth or multiple teeth is never an enjoyable thing to live through, as it is always a painful event that often happens suddenly. Losing a tooth or teeth will also leave a lasting impression that can lead many to change the way they use their mouth, as some people may organise their eating habits in order to avoid tougher foods such as steak, while others may stop smiling in order to evade embarrassment. This is especially true of those who have lost teeth at the front of the mouth.

Many people who have lost teeth go on to look into the various solutions that are available on the dental market in the United Kingdom, often choosing to replace lost teeth with dental bridges or dentures in cases of extreme tooth loss. However, neither of these options offers a fixed-in-place solution to tooth loss and both can come with their own challenges.

Domingos Mamede understands that many patients at our practice who have suffered tooth loss want a replacement that is permanent and firmly fixed in place, this can be achieved by treating patients with dental implants Cambridge.

The treatment

Dental implants Cambridge are replacement teeth that are fixed permanently into the area of tooth loss within your mouth. They will look like your natural teeth and you will be able to use them comfortably throughout your daily life.

First, a titanium screw will be inserted into your jawbone by us to create a strong base for your new tooth to sit on, this new tooth is created from a ceramic crown. The crown is shaped and coloured to allow it to blend in with any remaining teeth in the area that it is placed, over time you may not be able to identify the replacement tooth, as it should look and feel just like your other teeth.

These replacement teeth are extremely strong and should last any patient receiving them from us an entire lifetime, with the correct care. Caring for these replacement teeth is simple, as there are no new dental hygiene routines to learn. Just keep cleaning your teeth twice a day and floss as recommended by our dental professional, that’s once in the morning and once in the evening.

The hope is that following treatment you will feel that you have your own teeth back and can once again use your mouth in the way you used to and without any concerns.

A return of your lost tooth or teeth

Following your treatment you should feel that you have regained your lost tooth or teeth, this will then mean that you can go back to your old ways. There will no longer be a need to worry about how tough the food you want to eat is, as your new teeth will be more than capable of dealing with tougher food such as steak.

As for those people who have lost teeth at the front of the mouth, you will be able to banish the fear of feeling embarrassed and start smiling once more.Dental implants Cambridge really do represent the best solution when it comes to tooth replacement treatment, as it gives our patients a permanent solution to their loss.
