Let Sheen Dental Implants in Richmond get your smile in a better shape
A guiding hand
There are fewer things the practitioners here, at our practice, enjoy more than witnessing the fruits of their labour in the form of a beautifully crafted, healthy smile on a patient’s face. At Sheen Dental Implants Richmond, we’ve helped countless patients who have lost either one, some or all of their teeth, rediscover their true smile through the powerful and life-enhancing effects of getting dental implants.
Why get dental implants?
Here at Sheen Dental Implants Richmond, we know that especially for those who may have lost one or more teeth several years ago, cheaper treatments like bridges, dentures or crowns may seem like the easiest option. However, although these treatments are effective in their aesthetic improvement of your smile, they can lead to some worsening dental problems over time, as well as increase the likelihood of gum problems developing.
This is largely due to the fact that all other treatments besides dental implants get their support from a person’s existing teeth, which means that – over time – if your teeth move out of place it will affect the treatment and may cause irritation or discomfort.
There are other problems that these treatments present in terms of their structural capacities, in that certain cosmetic treatments for lost teeth may not withstand the pressures of eating tough foods over a prolonged period.
Dental implants are the best option for anyone who wishes to not only correct how their teeth look by filling in any gaps or spaces, but also wants to restore the power and strength of the tooth or teeth they have lost. Additionally, because the implants offered here at Sheen Dental Implants Richmond are physically attached to every patient’s jawbone, they are a permanent and lifelong treatment for lost teeth, unlike crowns or bridges which typically require dental maintenance over the years.
How do implants actually work?
The reason that dental implants are generally considered to be the best option for replacing lost teeth in the long term is the fact that they are extremely durable and thus probably the only treatment you’ll ever need to solve the issue of missing teeth. Implants work through the bonding of a titanium-alloy metal cylinder with the bone tissue of a patient’s jawbone, in the gap where they are missing one or more teeth.
This titanium-alloy cylinder, once given time to fuse with a patient’s bone tissue, acts as a brand new tooth root onto which our expert implant specialist will attach a custom-made and colour-matched prosthesis that will perfectly blend in with your other teeth. Because dental implants are fixed inside your mouth in the same way a natural tooth would be, it means they are far stronger and more durable than other treatments for missing teeth, as well as being far more comfortable and natural feeling within your mouth.
If you are missing some or all of your teeth we strongly recommend reaching out to our understanding and supportive team here at Sheen Dental Implants and arranging a consultation. By doing so we may be able to turn your dental prospects around entirely and restore your smile so you can enjoy it for a lifetime.
