Dental Implants Glasgow
Dental implants are now becoming a more popular treatment to replace missing teeth. Here at Martin Dental Care, we can provide Dental Implants for your dental solutions.
They provide a longer-term solution, slow down bone loss and preserve nearby healthy tooth tissue. People lose teeth all the time, either through trauma when teeth are knocked out (athletes such as rugby players and boxers commonly experience this) or due to decay, gum disease or old age. Whatever the reason for loosing your teeth they need to be replaced both for aesthetic and functional reasons.
What are dental implants?
A dental implant is made from titanium and is essentially a substitute for a natural root. It is directly placed into the jaw bone to act as an anchor to support one or more crowns or a denture.
Dental implants are the most stable, natural-looking way to replace missing teeth. At Martin Dental Care we offer advanced dental implants that look, feel and function like your own natural teeth. In addition to looking great, dental implants can help prevent bone loss, gum erosion and other oral problems for patients in our Shawlands Practice.
Dental implants are designed to provide a foundation for replacement teeth that look, feel, and function like natural teeth. The implants themselves are tiny titanium posts that are placed into the jawbone where teeth are missing. The bone bonds with the titanium, creating a strong foundation for artificial teeth. In addition, implants can help preserve facial structure, preventing the bone deterioration that occurs when teeth are missing. The person who has lost teeth regains the ability to eat virtually anything and can smile with confidence, knowing that teeth appear natural and that facial contours will be preserved.
Who can have implants?
We will carry out a thorough examination, taking appropriate x-rays to see if your case is suitable. If you have good dental health then dental implants will almost certainly work for you.
What does the treatment involve?
Placing of the implants is carried out at our practice. It involves a simple procedure which is carried out under a normal anaesthetic. After the procedure you should experience no more than mild discomfort. I.V. sedation is available for nervous patients.
Let Martin Dental Care take care of your oral health and have confidence that our Shawlands practice on the Southside of Glasgow will look after you. We understand that you want someone to listen to your concerns and that some people often find it difficult to even make the first step because they may be afraid of the dentist or what treatments may involve. Rest assured that at Martin Dental Care you will be seen by one of Scotland’s most experienced Dentists.
