Overview: Dental Implants are the Cadillac of replacement teeth. From a few missing teeth to a full replacement, Denturists at Linda Veal Denture Clinic in London, Ontario offer this best-in-class option in dentistry. But before you get your million-dollar smile… what EXACTLY are Dental Implants?
Unlike regular dentures, implants look and feel most like natural teeth and they are custom designed for each individual’s mouth. Implants are securely rooted into the jaw. This means you won’t need to worry about loose dentures, cavities, breakage, or the embarrassment of them falling out.
This began with the Mayans as far back as 600 AD but the Linda Veal Denture Clinic in London has perfected the procedure! After consultation with your denturist, they will develop a plan and a schedule for your new teeth. The number of implants will vary from patient to patient depending on the number of teeth being replaced.
Dental Implants begin with titanium posts being surgically placed into the jawbone. The base looks like a screw and holds tightly to the bone as the jaw grows around it. Once this heals, your new permanent and natural-looking ‘teeth’ can be attached.
How Do I Care For My Dental Implants?
To keep your smile beautiful and healthy, you’ll care for your new Dental Implants in the same way as you do your real teeth:
You should
- Brushing
- Flossing
- Regular check-ups with your dentist
No need to
- Relining
- Rebasing
- Repairing broken dentures
Bottom Line: Regular dentures need to be replaced every 5-7 years and require periodic adjustments. Because Dental Implants behave like natural teeth, they are more cost-effective in the long term. The investment in denture implants compounded daily will pay off with a great smile, confidence, and comfort!
