The \u2018sunken\u2019 look often associated with people who wear dentures is avoided because of the integral relationship between the implants and the jawbone. Here\u2019s how it works.<\/p>\n<p>After a detailed consultation with one of our dental professionals, and the careful construction of your treatment plan, you will be ready for your dental implants. Dental implants are small titanium posts that are inserted into your jawbone during a minor surgical procedure, carried out under local anaesthetic. The implants stimulate the jawbone to grow new bone to mesh around them. This creates a stable bond, which once the replacement teeth are attached on top, stimulates the jawbone in the same way natural teeth would. This is what keeps it healthy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Any age, any situation<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>People with all kinds of tooth loss can benefit from <strong>dental implants in Edinburgh<\/strong>. Sporting mishaps can leave a gap in your front teeth that causes a drop in self-assurance. Or it might be that you\u2019ve lost several teeth over the years and you haven\u2019t got round to sorting them out yet. Whatever the extent of your tooth loss, and whatever stage of life you\u2019ve reached, missing teeth put your oral health at risk. Implant dentistry is a modern remedy that will reduce this risk, while enhancing the appearance of your smile.<\/p>\n<p>Contact the team at <strong>Polwarth Dental Clinic<\/strong> and we\u2019ll be happy to get you on your way to having a healthier smile.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At Edinburgh\u2019s Polwarth Dental Clinic, patients with missing teeth often want a solution that looks and feels better than removable replacement teeth like traditional dentures.
