Dental implants are the only permanent method by which your dentist can replace your missing teeth. At Capital Dental in Hampton<\/a> our implant team is highly skilled and experienced. They can treat even complex implant cases, where bone loss has already started to happen.<\/p>\n

\"dental-implants\"The benefits of dental implants<\/strong><\/p>\n

There are many benefits of using dental implants<\/a> to replace missing teeth, not least that they enable your dentist to create restorations that look just like natural teeth. At our Hampton dental practice we can replace a single missing tooth with one implant and a crown, or several or all missing teeth with a number of implants and either implant-retained dentures or a bridge.<\/p>\n

As well as looking like natural teeth, restorations attached to dental implants act like natural teeth too. Gone are the problems of dentures that become loos and unwieldy as your jaw bone starts to resorb; because they are placed in direct contact with the jaw bone (in a minor operation at our Hampton clinic) implants form a stable base on to which your new teeth are then attached. This means that you can bite and chew all your favourite foods with confidence, and you won\u2019t be restricted to a liquid or soft-food diet.<\/p>\n

Because they are made out of titanium, which supports bone growth, implants help to prevent bone loss, a common side effect of having several missing teeth. Bone loss can make dentures loose and can also cause a sagging, aged appearance to the face.<\/p>\n

If you are interested in treatment with dental implants at our Hampton practice, we invite you to join us for a consultation with an implant dentist. They will assess your suitability for treatment and will check you have adequate bone density to support implants. Don\u2019t panic if you lack bone density; we offer additional procedures designed to rebuild your jaw bone, too.
