Dental implants Melbourne to reverse the effects of missing teeth

Dental implants Melbourne are small titanium screws that are used in the replacement of missing teeth. They are inserted directly into the bone socket of the missing tooth so that a crown or a set of dentures can be fitted to replace that tooth. If you have been affected by tooth loss either as a result of an accident or an injury or due to dental health complications, you need to speak to us at high dental implants Melbourne sooner rather than later. Dental implants Melbourne become a permanent fixture of your mouth; this is because titanium is biocompatible. Bone cells form around the titanium implant in a process known as osseointegration, after which the implant can only be removed by fracturing the bone. Therefore, dental implants Melbourne are a permanent solution and more beneficial than other tooth replacement options.

Effects of tooth loss

Tooth loss can cause a range of complications which is why it is important to get in touch so that we can put together an individually tailored treatment plan for you. Tooth loss can cause issues with the appearance of your smile which can affect your self confidence and your self esteem. It can be embarrassing and uncomfortable and some patients even develop social anxiety. Tooth loss can cause difficulties speaking, especially if you lose your front teeth. Missing teeth can cause difficulties with chewing, and you may not be able to enjoy your favourite foods any longer. Worryingly, tooth loss can also affect your remaining teeth; it can cause misalignment issues of the teeth, it can weaken the adjacent teeth, and it can cause further tooth loss. Tooth loss also results in bone decay or bone resorption which has other complications as well.

Benefits of dental implants

Dental implants Melbourne are able to reverse all of these issues. Firstly, dental implants restore the appearance of your smile. With dental implants most people will not even notice that you have undergone dental surgery or that you had missing teeth in the first place. Dental implants are hidden from view therefore the prosthetic will appear just as your natural teeth. This helps restore a youthful appearance and, more importantly, this will help restore your self confidence and your self esteem. Any difficulties with speech or biting and chewing will also be reversed when you replace your missing tooth with dental implants. This may not always be possible with other tooth replacement options especially for example removable dentures where you need to be more aware of what you eat, avoiding hard or chewy foods. Also you will be pleased to know that dental implants not only prevent complications with your remaining teeth but also help strengthen your remaining teeth including the bone. This prevents further tooth loss and it also improves your dental health for the future.
