That\u2019s why it\u2019s so important to take care of your smile, and ensure it\u2019s strong, healthy and bright. In this post, we\u2019ll talk about missing teeth and how to get your teeth back on track, by way of a treatment called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.the-smile-centre.com\/dental-implants-liskeard.html\"><strong>dental implants<\/strong>. <\/a>Whether you\u2019ve heard a bit about it or you haven\u2019t come across it before, we promise you\u2019ll be much more in the know by the end of today\u2019s post!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>So, what are dental implants?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>These clever false teeth are strong, durable and matched to the rest of your smile. Tooth implants are crafted from porcelain and aluminium and are placed in the mouth under local anaesthetic in two parts: the metal root, then the ceramic crown. The mouth is given time to rest and heal in between this.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How long do tooth implants last?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>With the right care, and with regular check-ups at our Liskeard dental practice, you could enjoy your dental implants for a lifetime. They\u2019re the closest thing to a like-for-like replacement for your missing tooth (or teeth) and have so many wonderful benefits.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What are some of the pros of having dental implants?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>First of all, you\u2019ll be replacing your missing tooth (or teeth), which fills any gaps in your smile. Not only can this give you a more aesthetic appearance, but it can also prevent movement of the surrounding teeth, keeping your smile more uniform.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Multiple missing teeth in one area can also contribute to gum and bone loss, as there\u2019s \u2018nothing there\u2019 to help apply pressure when biting and chewing. And, with lots of gaps comes greater potential for oral health problems such as a build-up of plaque and bacteria \u2013 so your dental implants can contribute towards a healthier smile.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Are there any negatives?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Cost can be a barrier for some, but at our Liskeard dental practice, we offer competitive pricing that reflects our dentists\u2019 care, expertise and skill. We might also be able to offer interest-free finance options through Medina, which allow you to spread the cost of your treatment over a longer period.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How do I look after my new tooth implants?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s simple \u2013 regular brushing, flossing and check-ups will go a long way to keeping your mouth in tip-top condition. But, should you notice anything unusual \u2013 blood, swelling, loose implants, or anything else \u2013 get in touch to see how we can help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What\u2019s my next step?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Book a consultation at our friendly Liskeard dental practice.
