They can be a durable and effective solution that provides many benefits to patients. If you are looking for a local implant dentist to help you on your journey to dental implants, then I would be thrilled to meet you. In this blog, we will discuss dental implants Cambridge and their benefits to those who use them.

So, what are dental implants?

‘Dental implants’ is a term which is often used to describe artificial tooth roots that are placed into the jawbone. However, there are in fact three separate sections which make up the implants. The implanted artificial roots (titanium screws) provide a strong foundation for replacement teeth or bridges, which are adhered to a metal rod (abutment) which connects the parts together. The implanted screw itself is made of titanium, which is considered to be a hypoallergenic material and it can fuse with the bone to become a permanent part of the jaw.

What are the benefits of dental implants?

Improved appearance: Dental implants Cambridge can improve the appearance of your smile by replacing missing or damaged teeth. They can look and feel like natural teeth and blend seamlessly with your existing teeth. This is because the visible part of the replacement tooth is most often created from material which can be adjusted in both colour and shape. Therefore, a close match to any remaining natural teeth can be achieved through these adjustments.

Permanence: Dental implants Cambridge are considered to be a permanent solution for missing teeth. They don’t move around or slip, which therefore promotes comfort in relation to your surrounding teeth and gums. With the proper care, dental implants may last a lifetime. They are deemed to be a durable and reliable solution that can help to improve your quality of life.

Improved speech: Dental implants Cambridge can help to improve your speech, this can be affected by missing teeth which can cause changes to your usual speech sounds. Often I find that those with missing teeth have found that they are losing self confidence in friendly conversation, but are especially aware of speech changes when conducting work meetings or presentations.

Confident eating: Dental implants allow you to eat your favourite foods without additional discomfort, or worry about getting foods stuck where you have gaps. They are firmly anchored to your jawbone, providing a stable chewing surface. Perhaps you have been feeling disappointed about not being able to enjoy foods as you have previously due to your missing teeth and so this is a reassurance to you.

Oral health practices: I don’t need to grind down adjacent teeth is not required when it comes to implants, as they do not use surrounding teeth as anchors. This means that your natural teeth remain intact, which is beneficial for your overall oral health. In addition to this, because implants function in such a similar way to natural teeth, you can have confidence in your dental hygiene routines, brushing with equal vigour as you would for your natural teeth.
