Dental Implants – They’re The Knights In Shining Armour, Coming To Your Rescue If You Have Missing Teeth You Want Replaced And You Want Them To Look Like New!  

Are you missing a permanent tooth? Are you missing more than one? Do gaps show when you smile?

Well, what if the missing tooth or teeth in your mouth were replaced and made to look like new? Would it change things? Would you feel differently about you? Would you think others will see you differently, in a better light?

For many people, having one, two, three or more missing teeth – especially the front upper or lower teeth - is something that makes them feel really conscious about themselves. It stops them from freely interacting and simply getting on with life in a normal, uninhibited way. As strange as it may seem to others who do not have missing teeth, teeth loss can be very traumatic for some.

And on the other hand, for some who do have missing teeth, it’s not so troubling for them. Though, somewhere deep down there are some thoughts about what it would be like to have their missing teeth fixed or replaced.

So What Exactly Are Dental Implants?

In a nutshell, dental implants are nothing more than a little item made of titanium which is fitted where the missing tooth or teeth, were. The little implant item is put in place to support the root that held the now missing tooth. Once that’s in place, a replacement tooth can now be put on this new implant support, a tooth that looks feels and functions as your own!

So you can see why we call dental implants the’ knights in shining armour’! For many people who do have missing teeth, having them replaced and have them look like new, is a small miracle.

Why Consider Dental Implants For You or Someone in Your Family?

The fact of the matter is dental implants aren’t a necessity. Having dental implants isn’t something that’s decided on in a life or death way. And so maybe, that’s why most people take a certain amount of time to come to a decision about whether or not dental implant surgery is for them.

Now, dental implants really are the ideal option for you or your loved ones if you’re all in good general oral health but have lost a tooth or teeth due to a number of reasons – whether it’s the loss of teeth through an accident, a sports injury, gum disease, whether through birth concerns or losing teeth at an early age.

Also, if you or your family member wears dentures and now want to banish them for good, dental implants are a very good alternative. Depending on how you see things, having dental implants can change the lives because as mentioned, implant dentistry is considered to be the next best thing to a patient’s own teeth.

Dental Implant Costs

Many people associate dental implant treatment with high costs. Quite frankly, it really depends on how you value what having your missing teeth replaced, means to you personally. Healthy teeth are a gift we often take for granted. Amongst many things, losing one or more teeth hinders our ability to smile naturally; it diminishes our confidence, it stops us from going forward and venturing forth and in living life to the fullest.

If dental implant treatment can help remedy any or all of the above, then comparatively, the costs for dental implant treatment are fairly minimal – especially when you add the fact that the wonderful results of dental implants are to be enjoyed for years and years to come!

Now depending on what treatment and what specific procedures are suitable and appropriate to you, your actual monetary investment will reflect that. However, none of that will be known without first having a Dental Implant Consultation. This is a £95 value and will be a thorough assessment (this includes a full mouth examination, x-rays, the various treatment models, recommendations and specific implant plans based on what is found in the consultation along with detailed costs) that will show you exactly if dental implant treatment is something for you and, what the next steps are.
