What treatment options are available for missing teeth?
Supported by the latest technology and executed with expert precision, Dr Mark Taylor offers a wide range of dental implant treatment options. Depending on your individual requirements, you may wish to consider one of the following treatment options:
Let’s breakdown these treatment options
Single tooth replacement options
Each tooth plays a highly important role in your oral health and appearance, and it is important to address cases of single tooth loss as soon as possible. A popular solution to single tooth loss is a crown supported by a dental implant. Dr Mark Taylor can utilise a single dental implant to form a solid foundation for your beautiful new crown restoration.
The benefits of single tooth replacement…
The great thing about this technique is that single dental implant placements are minimally invasive and should not impact on the integrity of your remaining natural teeth.
What’s more, aesthetics aside, single tooth loss can have a dramatic influence on your oral and overall health as:
- Teeth strengthen and protect the quality of the jawbone and just a single tooth lost can cause deterioration of your jawbone material.
- A single lost tooth can cause your existing teeth to migrate from position- leading to aesthetic concerns and even a distorted bite.
- Single tooth loss can also put a strain on the surrounding jaw muscles and this can lead to uncomfortable headaches and migraines.
Over dentures (Implant-Supported Denture)
Dental implants offer a way to keep dentures in place and allow you to go about your daily life with confidence. A regular denture rests on the gums and is not supported by implants. An implant-supported denture is suitable when a person doesn’t have any teeth left, but has enough bone in the jaw to support implants.
Benefits of over dentures
- Restores proper chewing, allowing a better diet and improved health
- Can improve speech and confidence
- Increases comfort with less irritation of gum tissue
- Ends the cost and inconvenience of denture adhesives
- Often we can use your existing denture
- Minimally invasive procedure
