Implants

Even if you stick to a strict oral hygiene routine, at some point in your life, you may lose a tooth for one reason or another. A missing tooth or gap in your smile can have a significant impact on your appearance, your self-confidence, and the types of food that you can comfortably eat. Although there a few different solutions available, dental implants are now by far the most popular option favoured by our patients here at Kiln Lane Dental in St Helens.

What are dental implants?
Unlike traditional dentures and bridges, dental implants offer a secure and permanent solution. They are typically made from titanium and consist of both an internal screw, that is placed directly into the jaw bone, and an artificial yet realistic tooth.

This artificial tooth is held in place by the screw and it is designed to perfectly match the shape, shade, and size of the rest of your teeth.

When it comes to tooth replacement procedures, titanium dental implants in St Helens are now regarded as the ‘gold standard’. They are a strong and natural-looking substitute, that can be used to replace single or multiple teeth, and they are incredibly easy to clean. Nobody will ever know the difference and they can last for 20 years or more, which means you can finally get your smile and confidence back!
