Minimally invasive dental implants Richmond
Losing a tooth is an experience to be avoided but sometimes accidents happen and a lack of proper dental care will lead to this inevitable event. There are several solutions to replacing a lost tooth and dental implants Richmond is one of those solutions. Dentistry is constantly developing minimally invasive procedures to improve patients’ comfort during treatment.
Comprehensive analysis of the condition
No two patients are the same, and while they may present with similar conditions, the treatment best suited to one patient may not be ideal for another patient. At Sheen Dental Implants, our experienced team will conduct a thorough examination of your mouth using some of the most advanced x-ray and digital equipment to create a 3D image of the entire interior of your mouth. Your condition and all possible treatment solutions will be explained in detail. Some patients may have insufficient jawbone density to conduct dental implants Richmond, but we are usually able to provide a solution. A bone graft may be the solution to improve jawbone density, which will ensure a stable base. Once the treatment is completed, it will provide a solid foundation for the titanium post, which acts as the root for the crown.
Technology a new era in dentistry
Dentists today have to be technologically aware because technology plays a huge part in how dental implants Richmond procedures are conducted. Using surgical treatment plan software, we can precisely establish the position, angle and number of implants required. In certain circumstances, the drilling technique used will employ a drilling guide, which consists of a plastic template with the exact location of the drilling points. These techniques reduce the amount of discomfort to the patient and allow us to work quicker and more accurately, resulting in a more rapid healing time.
No need to live without teeth
In the twenty-first century, there is no need to suffer the embarrassment of a lost front tooth or experience the difficulty of trying to eat with back teeth missing. A lost tooth can affect a patient in a number of ways, psychologically feeling self-conscious, practically, not being able to chew food properly, and it can also create a speech impediment. It is possible to provide a replacement tooth in one day by performing the dental implant procedure and attaching provisional artificial teeth. We can replace four teeth in a row on one dental implant, and a full set of teeth can be replaced using four or six implants, depending on the patient’s jawbone condition.
A more natural solution
Dentures and bridges provided a solution for many years and were the best solution at the time, but as with anything in life, progress produces better solutions to problems. Dental implants provide solutions based on the way our natural teeth work. A titanium post is inserted into the jawbone to act as a root. Titanium is a material that the human body naturally accepts, and the fusion creates a solid stable platform for the artificial tooth or crown to be fixed onto. Our teeth exert an enormous amount of force, and the stable root created by the titanium post allows us to chew naturally without damage. Dental implants are now the treatment of choice to replace lost teeth. The technology now available also allows for a crown to be produced that accurately compares to the colour and shape of natural teeth.
