Tooth loss, especially the loss of a whole jaw’s worth of missing teeth, can be a huge issue to those who suffer with it. 

Alongside this, it can cause you to limit your diet and avoid social interactions so nobody notices your smile. 

Likewise, you may also have been advised that your only treatment option is a full set of dentures, which is not always necessarily the case. 

If this sounds familiar, you might be considering dental implants as a solution to your toothlessness – but how can they help you? 

Benefits of dental implants 

The benefits of dental implants are wide-ranging and can mean that a restored bite and an even smile are achievable. 

And thanks to the focus of some providers, they are possible for more patients than ever before. 

They can replace a whole jaw’s worth of missing teeth 

Considered a viable denture alternative for patients with many failing or missing teeth, full mouth dental implants can replace an entire upper or lower jaw (or both). 

They use dental implant screws to fix a bespoke prosthesis, restoring 10-12 teeth per jaw, depending on the solution chosen and a patient’s anatomy.  

This advanced process reduces procedure and healing times and allows patients to get back to their normal day-to-day much quicker. 

No dentures

Some dental implant solutions, sometimes referred to as ‘smile in a day’ implants or ‘same-day smiles’, can fit a prosthesis on the same day as the implant screws themselves. 

This means that unlike some options which have a 3-month healing period and require the patient to wear dentures, you can skip this altogether and leave the same day with functional teeth. 

Ready to enjoy a full variety of meals and smile broadly when the moment takes you. 

You won’t need any preparatory treatments

Although sadly not the case across the board, some dental implants can be fitted in even complex cases, including those:

• With low bone levels who have been told they need bone grafts 
• Who need sinus lifts 
• Needing upper jaw implants with pre-maxilla, pre-mandible, and pterygoid implants
• Who are living with gum (periodontal) disease 
• That already have substantial bridges and crowns

This means that patients who only thought they could consider full-mouth dentures can actually look at other options, including dental implants in Kent.
