Having missing teeth loose dentures can really undermine your confidence and self-esteem. Eating can become a big struggle and often you will have to avoid foods that you enjoy because they are too difficult to eat. Our dental implants in Cheltenham offer a reliable way to solve the issue of missing teeth or ill-fitting dentures. Implants are just as strong as your natural teeth, and sometimes they are even stronger. We can fit implants for one missing tooth or many, and we can restore your full set of teeth if necessary. For those who have suffered with badly fitting dentures for a long time, solving the issue with dental implants can bring great relief and a renewed sense of confidence.
Think you can’t get dental implants? Think again
In some cases, people have been told they can’t get dental implants due to a lack of bone density. Here at Cheltenham Dental Spa, we could help you overcome this. Many people who have had missing teeth for a long time, or who have severe gum disease, also suffer with loss of jawbone density. A jawbone that does not receive vibrations from healthy, secure teeth becomes redundant and is reabsorbed into the body. The jawbone becomes weak, it’s no longer strong enough to hold dental implants and crowns. If you have this problem and would like dental implants in Cheltenham, we can offer you a bone regeneration treatment.
Bone grafting for dental implants in Cheltenham
We can regenerate your jawbone with bone grafting. This involves replacing an area of your jawbone with a stronger material. At first, this procedure sounds pretty scary. However, oral bone grafting is a routine, predictable and relatively low-pain procedure. In most cases, bone grafting can be performed comfortably in our practice with local anaesthetic. Bone grafts are made of a sterile material. Once we have performed a bone graft, your body will adopt the material as your own bone. The gum tissues around it will grow naturally too. Once this area has become strong, you are ready for dental implants to be fitted and crowns or dentures placed on top. Your new teeth will look natural and feel strong.
