What should I know about dental implant treatment?

Did you know that dental implants are the only treatment available that replace both the lost tooth and its root?  Implants have helped many people with missing teeth regain the ability to eat, chew and smile.

If you are interested to know more about the treatment, an article published on click4teeth.com provides eight important facts and guidance to prospective implant patients:

  • Implants are an artificial fixture placed in the jaw to support new teeth, such as single crowns, multiple tooth bridges and full dentures
  • Unlike conventional bridges, dental implants do not damage remaining healthy teeth
  • Teeth implants are the only tooth restoration method that preserve and reinvigorate bone in your jaw
  • Advances in dental implant technology offer implant patients improved treatment outcomes and long-term success
  • Dental implants need looking after in the same way as normal, healthy teeth by daily brushing, flossing and attending regular check-ups
  • You don’t need a referral for implant treatment and can directly contact a clinic to ask a question or to book a consultation
  • If you need to spread the cost, many clinics offer patient plans
  • The starting point for treatment is to arrange a free initial consultation with a local implant dentist
