Has it been a long time since you felt happy with your smile? Whether you have misaligned, missing or discoloured teeth, our orthodontist Stoke-on-Trent can help you get your smile looking and feeling great again. We also have a range of facial aesthetic treatments to complete your look, treating your whole face to a makeover. One of our popular dental treatments for missing teeth is dental implants; it is arguably the next best thing to having a full set of natural teeth. Our orthodontist Stoke-on-Trent will be able to examine you to assess whether this is the right treatment for you.

Tell me about dental implants!

Dental implants are screws that we can place into your jawbone and form the posts on which your replacement teeth can be attached. The screws become firmly embedded as your body’s tissues heal around them. You can replace a single tooth, several teeth or a full set. The replacement teeth that are added to the screws will depend on how many are being fitted. If you are replacing a single tooth, we will use crowns; for several teeth, we will use bridges, and for a whole set, dentures.

Why we have dental implants

Dental implants allow replacement teeth to remain in your mouth 24-7, just like your natural teeth. They also act like natural teeth too. When you eat, you don’t need to avoid chewy or hard foods, for example, and you can clean your teeth easily by simply doing what you do best – have you got your toothbrush, paste and floss ready?! You won’t need to worry about doing anything special to take care of your dental implants, but you will need to remember to have your regular dental checkups. If you do this, your dental implants may last you a lifetime!

Another reason our orthodontist Stoke-on-Trent may recommend dental implants is that it offers a discreet solution to completing your smile. When you are chatting, for example, you won’t need to worry about your dental implants loosening, and nobody will be able to tell that you even have dental implants; your replacements will look just like any remaining natural teeth that you have.
