Nobody likes going to the dentist, but Drury Dental’s patients are more than happy to book in for whatever procedures they need attending to, and this month we talk about dental implants.

Implants are a permanent replacement option for missing teeth, and Drury Dental’s options include implant bridges, implant dentures, dental crowns, and dental veneers. Implants are root-like structures placed within the bone of the missing tooth, to which porcelain veneers and crowns are attached. This looks natural as the teeth appear to come out from your gums, and is a long-lasting tooth replacement option.

Dental implants are a natural-looking tooth replacement option generally replacing the tooth root with a surgical grade titanium screw. Onto this natural looking crowns and bridgework can be constructed. In many cases dental implants are the optimum treatment option to replace a tooth or teeth lost following an accident or through gum infection or decay. Dental implants can
replace a single tooth or multiple teeth without damaging or affecting adjacent teeth, or can be  used as “anchors” or supports for dental bridges or replace a partial denture.

Implants can provide you with increased confidence and freedom by restoring that gap in your smile or that denture which is always moving or difficult to eat with. In many cases dental implant teeth can be made to look and feel like your own teeth. With the correct maintenance programme and when conditions are right, dental implants can last a lifetime. On-going studies show that dental implant placements generally exhibit predictable and excellent success rates.

At Drury Dental they strive to use only those techniques that bring about best results with minimum patient discomfort. After your thorough examination conducted by your dentist, they will put forward to you all possible treatment options, explaining the benefits and drawbacks of each procedure so that you can choose the option that best suits you.
