Dental implants in Portsmouth
Dental implants are artificial tooth roots that provide a permanent base for fixed or removable replacement teeth. They are made of titanium and are surgically placed into the jawbone. They are a popular and effective way to replace missing teeth and can also support bridges and dentures. They also provide stability for orthodontic devices. The implant fuses with the bone over time, creating a strong foundation for the replacement tooth. They are highly durable and can last for many years with proper care.
Who can benefit from Dental Implants?
Dental implants are a popular option for people who have lost one or more teeth due to injury, decay, or other reasons. Anyone missing one or more teeth and who has good oral and overall health may be able to benefit from dental implants.
Specifically, people who have:
- Lost one or more teeth due to injury or decay
- A tooth that is severely damaged or cannot be saved with other treatments such as root canal therapy
- Gum disease or other issues that have led to tooth loss
- Difficulty chewing or speaking due to missing teeth
- A desire for a permanent and more natural-looking replacement for missing teeth
- Adequate bone density and healthy gums to support the implant
However, not everyone may be a suitable candidate for dental implants. Factors such as smoking, certain medical conditions, and medications can affect the success of implant surgery. Our dentists will assess you to determine if dental implants are the right option for you.
