Valplast Dentures Treat Missing Teeth For Patients Near Ealing

December 27th, 2012

Cosmetic dentures are one of the best options for people who need to replace teeth that have been extracted or have simply fallen out. Teeth can fall out or need to be extracted for a number of reasons from dental decay to an accident or injury; it could also be due to medication taken. Teeth are not guaranteed to last forever even if you take good care of them. There are a number of dental treatments available to treat missing teeth and one of these options is Valplast dentures.

Valplast dentures

Valplast dentures have been designed and created with various levels of colour and translucency so that they leave you with a natural and young-looking smile. They fit in with the rest of the natural teeth offering a discreet and natural look to the mouth.

Durable material

What sets the Valplast denture design apart is the unique design. The strong material fits securely around the existing teeth, for ease and comfort. Because the material is translucent, it picks up on the tones of the core tissue and is virtually impossible to see. It also has the benefits of strength and durability. Unlike many partial dentures, they do not have metal clasps and are therefore more pleasing aesthetically.

The procedure for fitting the dentures is non-invasive and means less time spent in the chair than with other treatments. The cost of the treatment depends on the needs of each patient; a number of payment plans are available. If you have missing teeth and are interested in Valplast dentures then please contact the team at Sparkle Dental Boutique near Ealing.

Patients Near Kew Wish Mickey Mouse Happy Birthday!

November 15th, 2012

One of the most recognisable figures in the world to both young and old will be 84 on 18th November. He has perhaps the most famous silhouette in history and he has worked tirelessly from birth, becoming the timeless star of hundreds of animated films. He is of course Mickey Mouse and at 84 he is certainly old enough to have multiple missing teeth.

The Problems with Missing Teeth

The gum bone that used to support the missing tooth needs a tooth to sustain its thickness and structure. Without a tooth the gum bone has no reason to maintain its thickness and will begin to thin. This can cause a sagging or drooping of the face around that area. Surrounding teeth don’t get away scot-free though. They have a tendency to rotate, tilt and drift into the opening left by the missing tooth. It can be difficult to keep the teeth clean and problems such as bad bite and gum disease can develop.

Sparkle Multiple Missing Teeth Solutions

Multiple missing teeth are not only unsightly; they can create a multitude of problems. Each missing tooth does not have to be replaced with an implant, although that is possible. Traditional oral bridges use the surrounding teeth as anchor points, reshaping those existing teeth to accept each end of the bridge. With implant bridge restorations at Sparkle Dental Boutique near Kew, the surrounding teeth can maintain their original shape and position. Dental implants bridges are typically attached to two implants. The implants stop the surrounding teeth from moving and the oral bridge is able to span multiple missing teeth. Implant bridge restorations provide a lasting completion to any smile, sometimes providing an improved aesthetic in comparison to the previous teeth.

Dentures To Replace Missing Teeth For Patients Near to Hounslow

September 10th, 2012

Teeth are extremely durable and, in many cases, they last a lifetime. However, there are many ways you can lose teeth, and if you have missing teeth, this can have implications for your confidence and self-esteem; as well as the aesthetics of your smile and the functionality of your mouth. Dentures are an effective treatment for missing teeth. Not only do they enhance the aesthetics of your smile, but they also restore full functionality to the mouth, enabling you to eat, speak and drink without any worries.

Causes of tooth loss

There are many possible causes of tooth loss: most people lose teeth when they get older, as a result of the teeth becoming weaker and more prone to damage and decay and dentures are most commonly associated with older people. Other possible causes of tooth loss include accidents, sporting injuries, fighting and decay.

Replace missing teeth

It is always a good idea to replace missing teeth, whether you have lost a single tooth or a full set of teeth. The teeth have important roles in the body: they allow us to chew and grind food and they are also instrumental for clear speech. If you have missing teeth you may find it difficult to eat, especially hard or chewy foods, and your speech can also be affected. Missing teeth can also increase the risk of dental diseases and there is a risk of damage to other teeth, as the gaps may cause neighbouring teeth to move.

Modern dentures

Many people are put off dentures because they have an outdated view of what dentures are. If you are still thinking of ugly, bulky sets of false teeth that sit in a glass by the side of the bed, think again. Modern dentures are light, comfortable and very lifelike, and they are a very effective solution for people with missing teeth. Dentures can be used to replace a full set of teeth (complete denture) or a small number of missing teeth (partial denture) and they are designed to look and function like natural teeth. Contact the team at Sparkle Dental Boutique near to Hounslow for more information.

Stabilising Your Loose Dentures with Dental Implants for Patients near Kew

July 26th, 2012

Loose dentures are a burden to many. Ill-fitting dentures rub the gums and cause sores, swelling and even bone degeneration. After time this continual wearing will mean you have to replace your dentures, which will cost you extra money on top of your initial treatment each time.

What can be done about my loose dentures?

Many people attempt to stabilise loose dentures with fixatives or pastes, none of which provide any long-term effect. However, patients now have the option of dental implants for their loose dentures, which not only keep the dentures in place but also prevent bone degeneration.

What are dental implants?

Dental implants are titanium posts that are inserted into the jawbone. Once these posts have fused with the bone to form a secure foundation a denture, crown or bridge can be attached depending on the level of tooth loss you have suffered.

If you wear dentures and would like stabilisation several dental implants will be strategically placed in the mouth, which will then be attached to the denture to keep them firmly in place.

What are the benefits of dental implants for denture wearers?

  • Added stability-dental implants enable patients to laugh, smile and eat with the complete confidence that their dentures will stay in place. Dental implant treatment is often a life-changing procedure; enabling patients to find the confidence they have lost and enjoy the foods they couldn’t eat.
  • Prevents bone degeneration-dentures rub the gums and the bone underneath, leading to bone degeneration, which causes the bone to recede. After time this will mean the dentures needs replacing and the problem will continue as long as the person is wearing loose dentures. With dental implants not only is bone degeneration prevented, the bone is encouraged to bond and grow, so you will be left with a healthy jawbone.

If you are interested in having dental implants for the stabilisation of your dentures please call the practice today. We provide services for patients near Kew and throughout the UK.

How Dental Implants Work to Replace Missing Teeth for Patients near Hounslow

July 5th, 2012

Dental implants are fast becoming the restorative treatment of choice, swiftly outranking loose dentures and bridges for the replacement of missing teeth.

What are dental implants and how can they help repair my smile?

Dental implants differ from other replacement treatments as they not only restore the missing tooth or teeth but also the missing root. This provides the new tooth or teeth with the added security they need and makes them ideal for eating, speaking and laughing.

What does the dental implant treatment involve?

First you will be assessed to gauge your suitability for treatment. Your dentist near Hounwlow will need to check the health of your gums and surrounding teeth (if you have any) and also the density of your jawbone. If you are found suitable for treatment you will return to the practice to have your dental implant or implants fitted.

Your dentist will fit the implant into your jawbone using a drill and will then stitch the gums back over to allow for healing. It will take between 3 to 6 months for the dental implants to completely fuse securely with the jaw, after which you will come back to the practice to have the abutment fitted. Crowns, dentures or dental bridges can then be attached to restore the appearance and function of your smile.

How many teeth can dental implants replace?

If you are missing a single tooth then you can ask for dental implant treatment and if you are missing all of your teeth you can likewise do the same. Implants can last a lifetime and are the perfect treatment for stabilising loose, painful dentures.

Taking care of your dental implant in the same way you take care of your teeth will ensure the longevity of your new teeth and will enable you to smile, eat and talk with confidence for years and years to come.

Creating a New Smile for Patients Near Ealing in just One Day Using All-on-4 Dental Implants

June 25th, 2012

There are a number of issues that come with wearing dentures, from the inability to eat the things you want to low self-esteem and impaired speech.

If you are suffering with denture problems then the All-on-4 treatment could provide the answer you have been looking for. This revolutionary new technique allows for a full set of, upper or lower, teeth to be permanently fixed via just 4 dental implants.

What are the benefits of All-on-4 dental implants?

There are a number of benefits of the All-on-4 system such as there is no need to mess around with adhesives or powders ever again. Speech is made that much easier as the replacement teeth feel more natural due to less movement, which means you can eat whatever you like without worrying they may become loose or fall out. Permanent, non-removable teeth are fitted in just one day and self-esteem is boosted by the instantly beautiful smile and confidence that comes with a fixed set of teeth.

Because this treatment only requires 4 dental implants per arch the likelihood of requiring bone grating is greatly reduced. Prior to traditional dental implant procedures some patients have to undergo lengthy, painful bone-grafting operations in order to ensure there was adequate bone for the dental implants to be embedded into. This is generally not the case for All-on-4 dental implant patients.

The new arch of teeth is locked into place on the four dental implants that have been fitted. These prevent the arch from moving and give you the confidence to eat and speak freely. If you are struggling with your dentures it is worth asking your dentist near Ealing about the All-on-4 system. It could very well be the new lease of life you and your mouth have been waiting for.

Long-Lasting Tooth Replacement for Patients Near Brentford with Dental Implant Treatment

June 18th, 2012

People with one or several missing teeth are forced to search for solutions that can restore their smile and mastication. Full implant restorations are some of the most recommended alternatives for these patients. These implants have several advantages over similar restoration techniques and their durability and sturdiness are some of their main strong points.

What are the benefits of dental implants?

Normal chewing, speaking and smiling functions can be successfully restored with the help of dental implants. The implants perfectly imitate the aspect and also the uses of one’s natural teeth. They are considered to be the best tooth replacement solution for patients who have one or several missing teeth. They can also be efficiently used to secure dentures. Elderly patients can have their entire mouthful of teeth replaced with the help of these dental implants.

The dental implant procedure

The full implant restoration process is not a highly complicated one, but it does presume several different steps that the dentist needs to follow. The first preliminary step the patient is going to have to take is getting a dental appointment. An assessment of the mouth will be carried out, including x-rays. This way the dentist can decide the exact position of the future implant.

Next comes the fixing of the dental implant into the patient’s jaw. The dental implant is actually a post made of titanium and its small dimensions and high sturdiness make it like a natural root structure. After the implant is placed into the jaw the abutment follows in about 2 to 6 months, so that the bone can grow around the implant.

The abutment is the attachment used to connect the dental implant to the crown. Once the process is completed and the crown, denture or bridge is successfully fitted the abutment will not remain visible.

Bridges, dentures and dental implants

Bridges and dentures can also be used for patients from Brentford who are missing several teeth, with the restoratives fixed onto the implant abutment. Elderly patients who no longer have any natural teeth can also have removable or fixed restorations. Implants and implant bars help a dentist achieve the support you need to restore your smile.

Dental Bridges for Replacing Your Teeth for Patients Near Ealing

June 2nd, 2012

Dental bridges can be used to deal with these sorts of issues for patients near Ealing and throughout the UK and unlike dentures they are a permanent fixture. They are made from dental grade porcelain and will be linked to the surrounding teeth to keep them securely in place.

The process takes about two appointments. During the first a mould is taken of the mouth, which will be used to create your personalised bridge. In the interim a temporary bridge is fitted. The second appointment occurs about a week later when the custom bridge has been created. The temporary bridge is removed and the permanent bridge is securely fixed into place.

The types of dental bridge

There are three main types of dental bridge and each is used to deal with different issues and areas of the mouth. A Maryland bridge is generally used when only a singular tooth needs to be replaced. The restoration is made from dental grade porcelain and has two metal wings. These wings are then bonded onto the rear of the adjacent teeth so there is no visible link and the tooth looks completely natural.

The next type of bridge is the cantilever bridge, which is usually only used at the front of the mouth. Again this type of bridge is best suited to replacing a single tooth. The restoration is fixed to one of the adjacent teeth to keep it in place. Due to the single fixing these are only used where less stress and force is likely to be used.

The last option is known as a traditional fixed bridge. This option usually consists of at least 3 porcelain restorations and the adjacent teeth on both sides will be prepared in order to have the bridge permanently fixed to them into place. Like crowns bridges can last for an average of around ten years, provided they are properly cared for.

Revolutionary Methods of Replacing Lost Teeth for Patients from Hanwell with Damage Smiles

May 11th, 2012

Teeth can be lost or broken just by biting into our favourite hard snack, after which we are left holding our mouth in despair! It is a well known fact that a lot of us will have missing teeth during childhood and adult life no matter what the reason. Whilst some of us go to the dentist to get this looked at, others bury their heads in the sand and try and forget those missing teeth hoping that the problem will just go away.

Why replace missing teeth?

However, if you don’t replace missing teeth the problem will affect the health of your mouth and your dental hygiene. A missing tooth affects how you bite, which adds strain to the rest of your teeth.  Big gaps in your mouth also mean that any foods you eat will become trapped, which then breeds bacteria that cause gum disease.

There are also other problems that missing teeth can cause, such as ageing the look of your face, distorting the shape of your jaw and mouth, changing how you smile and also affecting how you speak.

What solutions are there?

One solution to tooth loss is a dental bridge, which can replace missing teeth using the remaining healthy teeth to support the new teeth for patients from Hanwell. The teeth on either side are crowned for full, long lasting support, with a pontic holding the replacement teeth sitting in between.

Another solution is dental implants. Cylinder shaped titanium rods are placed into the jaw, to provide a strong, stable foundation for a replacement tooth. Implants are also a great solution if you have dentures, as they keep them in place and prevent the sore gums and bone degeneration that loose dentures can often cause.

Dentures are removable and are created to look like your natural teeth using the latest dental technology. Dentures can also treat teeth that try to move because of the gap the missing tooth has created.
