Dental implants which are made of titanium are inserted into the bone. Once in place they are used to provide a stable support to mount replacement teeth onto.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why is it important to replace missing teeth?<\/strong><br \/>\nNot having all of your teeth often reduces self-esteem and confidence.<br \/>\nTooth loss affects how well you chew and what foods you are able to eat.<br \/>\nLosing teeth can lead to changes in your speech. This also can affect your self-confidence.<br \/>\nWhen teeth are lost, the area of the jawbone that held those teeth starts to dissolve.<br \/>\nThe loss of teeth can change your bite, the way your teeth come together, which can lead to problems with your jaw joint.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Why choose a dental implant?<\/strong><br \/>\nImplant supported teeth are the closest thing possible to natural teeth.<br \/>\nDental implants allow you to eat all the foods you like, just as with natural teeth.<br \/>\nDental implants provide a long-term solution to your dental problems, often lasting a lifetime.<br \/>\nDental implants can be placed without impacting other healthy teeth unlike certain bridges.<br \/>\nDental implants avoid the potential bone loss problems caused by bridges and partial dentures.<br \/>\nDental implants can be used to replace a single tooth, a few teeth, or all the teeth.<br \/>\nImplants are fixed in place and aesthetically more pleasing than dentures.<br \/>\nImplants are easy to keep clean and floss just like natural teeth.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What happens during dental implant surgery?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The first stage \u2013 under a local anaesthetic a small cut is made in the gum and a titanium screw is placed inside the bone. It takes approximately 8 -12 weeks for implants to fully integrate.<\/p>\n<p>The second stage \u2013 once the implant is fully integrated a mould is taken to create a custom-made abutment designed for your tooth, after which a crown is fitted to resemble your missing tooth.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":11741,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-12003","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/princesdental.co.uk\/practice\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/12003","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/princesdental.co.uk\/practice\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/princesdental.co.uk\/practice\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/princesdental.co.uk\/practice\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/princesdental.co.uk\/practice\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=12003"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/princesdental.co.uk\/practice\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/12003\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":12465,"href":"https:\/\/princesdental.co.uk\/practice\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/12003\/revisions\/12465"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/princesdental.co.uk\/practice\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11741"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/princesdental.co.uk\/practice\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=12003"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
