If you have ever lost a tooth or several teeth, then you will know all about the lasting impact that lost teeth can suddenly have on your mouth. This loss may have led you to change some of the ways you use your mouth to compensate for the missing teeth. You may have decided to avoid some foods, such as nuts or steak, as they have become too difficult to consume. Or, if you have lost teeth at the front of your mouth, you may try to avoid smiling as a way of lessening any embarrassment you may feel.

Most of the tooth loss cases in the United Kingdom are not caused by poor oral health but rather injuries due to traffic or sporting accidents.

You may be one of the many adults who go on to investigate tooth replacement options after suffering tooth loss, and this may have brought you into contact with devices such as bridges and dentures. However, such devices do not offer patients permanent and fixed-in-place solutions to tooth loss.

Dr Domingos Mamede has helped patients permanently regain their lost teeth using dental implants Cambridge, allowing them to enjoy the benefits of having full sets of teeth once again. With this treatment, you will not have to be concerned about eating tough food and can start to show your smile to others around you once more.

Just like having your own teeth again

The hope is that with dental implants Cambridge, Dr Mamede can give you replacement teeth that will look and feel just like the natural teeth you have lost, allowing you to enjoy and experience a full set of teeth. Once in place, your new teeth will last you a lifetime, as they are extremely hard-wearing, provided that you care for them correctly by brushing your teeth twice a day as recommended to maintain high levels of oral health and hygiene.

Here’s the outline for the procedure for replacing a single tooth.

First, a titanium screw is inserted into your jawbone with the tip being placed above the gum line; this helps to create a strong base for your new replacement tooth to be attached. Your new replacement tooth is created using a ceramic crown that is shaped and coloured to match any existing teeth that are surrounding it. Once attached to the titanium screw, the crown will be firmly fixed in place.

The process for replacing several teeth may vary slightly, so for more details, consult Dr Mamede, who will be able to offer tailored advice to match your case.

Reaping the benefits

Once you have had treatment with dental implants Cambridge, you should start to reap the benefits of treatment almost immediately. You will be able to enjoy hard foods once more and can show off your beautiful smile again without fear of embarrassment. Your new teeth will be strong enough to cope with the rigours and stresses of daily life while you can enjoy the experience of having a full set of teeth again.
