[Southampton, 24/09/2018] - Daily life can be quite challenging after tooth loss. Over time, the body will reabsorb the jawbone where the tooth roots are missing and the risk for further tooth loss is increased.

What makes dental implants in Southampton so special?

Dental implants in Southampton from Smilemakers Dental Implant Clinic are the most reliable way to replace missing teeth. As any Smilemakers Dental Implant Clinic dentist will tell patients, dental implants in Southampton replace both the roots and the crowns of missing teeth for a complete restoration.

Dental implants in Southampton from Smilemakers Dental Implant Clinic are small titanium posts, which are placed into the jawbone. Once the dental implants in Southampton have integrated with the jawbone, a Smilemakers Dental Implant Clinic dentist will attach the replacement teeth in the form of crowns, a bridge or dentures.

Health benefits of dental implants in Southampton at Smilemakers Dental Implant Clinic

Teeth are held in place in the jawbone and every time they clash together, vibrations are sent down the tooth into the jawbone. These vibrations tell the jawbone to stay strong and healthy. Unfortunately, when teeth go missing, the jawbone doesn’t receive enough stimulation and it starts to deteriorate.

Dental implants in Southampton from Smilemakers Dental Implant Clinic are placed directly into the jawbone and provide a means to the jawbone to receive that much needed stimulation from the replacement teeth. The jawbone is therefore protected and can remain strong and dense.

A Smilemakers Dental Implant Clinic dentist can attest to the benefits this has on a patient’s facial structure, which won’t be subject to the sunken-cheeked consequences of long-term denture use.

Unlike bridges, which are supported by neighbouring teeth, dental implants in Southampton from Smilemakers Dental Implant Clinic are supported by the jawbone so no healthy teeth need to be sacrificed. Furthermore, dental implants in Southampton look and feel just like natural teeth, allowing patients to eat their favourite foods and smile with confidence.
