At Broadway Dental in Loughton, our experienced implantology team can use implants to replace one, some, or even all of your natural teeth.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-74\" src=\"https:\/\/www.broadwaydentalclinic.org.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/dental-implant-e1461045390895.jpg\" alt=\"dental-implants\" width=\"325\" height=\"217\" \/>There are several advantages of dental implants over other tooth replacement products. Implants and the false teeth attached to them look just like natural teeth, meaning you will once again have a smile that you want to show off. What\u2019s more, they act just like natural teeth too, meaning you won\u2019t find your diet restricted the way that you can if you wear traditional dentures. This is beneficial for your overall health, because you will have no problem getting adequate nutrients.<\/p>\n<p>One of the most common side-effects of missing teeth is bone loss. Over time, when the tooth roots are absent, the jaw bone starts to resorb or shrink back. This is one of the primary reasons that traditional dentures are prone to becoming loose, and can cause a sagging appearance in the facial skin. Dental implants are the only way a dentist can replace missing tooth roots, and because they are made from titanium they also support bone growth.<\/p>\n<p>If you have been wearing dentures for some time you may already have experienced bone loss \u2013 but don\u2019t panic. At our <a href=\"https:\/\/www.broadwaydentalclinic.org.uk\/\">Loughtondental<\/a> practice we can carry out an additional procedure, known as a bone graft or sinus lift, to rebuild your bone density prior to implant placement.<\/p>\n<p>The high-quality dental implants used at our Loughton practice are designed to last for many years \u2013 perhaps even a lifetime. So long as you have a good oral care regime at home, and you visit your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.broadwaydentalclinic.org.uk\/find-dentists-loughton-essex.html\">dentist<\/a> and hygienist regularly, your implants and the teeth attached to them will give you many years of satisfaction.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dental implants provide a clinically-proven, safe and effective way to get your smile back \u2013 and so more besides \u2013 if you have lost some of your natural teeth.
