Dental implants are among our most popular restorative treatments, and it’s easy to see why – they’re incredibly effective and long-lasting, and can look like your real teeth, so your teeth blend seamlessly into one easy smile.

In this post, our dental experts will talk about tooth implants in a bit more detail, giving you all the benefits to this incredible treatment. Then all that’s left to do is book in for your treatment at our welcoming dental practice in Wakefield.

Pro 1: strong & secure

Your natural teeth are firmly anchored in your jaw through long, strong roots. Dental implants in pontefract are really no different, except they have an artificial root instead of a bone-like one. This will actually fuse to the jaw as it heals, so it’s as firmly in place as a natural tooth would be. Once ready, you can have a special crown attached (a temporary one is in place during the healing period).

Pro 2: dental implants are colour-matched

Any kind of restorative treatment has to look natural and in-keeping with the rest of your smile – otherwise, it’s immediately obvious you’ve had dental work done, which can make you appear aged. The crowns on our tooth implants are custom-made to your exact specifications, meaning they will fit in with the size, shape and colour of the rest of your teeth. No more hiding behind your smile needed!

Pro 3: a life-long solution

Dental implants in pontefract can last the rest of your life, providing you care for them effectively and regularly! Brushing and flossing is just as important with false teeth as it is your natural teeth, as a build-up of bacteria can wreak havoc with your gums and other teeth if it accumulates under the gum line.

Pro 4: cost-effective treatment

On the surface, tooth implants may seem expensive, but they shouldn’t ever need replacing or fixing – which means it’s a single cost to bear. Compare this to the cost of dentures, which may need replacing every so often, or break or stain over time, or other dental care to help your teeth.

Pro 5: boost oral health

It might seem strange to suggest that dental implants could have bearing on your oral health, but it’s true. Having that artificial root firmly anchored to your jaw encourages the bone to be used in chewing, talking and eating, and could prevent bone loss over time. In addition, filling the gap left by a tooth being extracted or falling out means your remaining teeth will stay put in their natural positions, with less chance of migration or orthodontic problems down the line.
