Dental Implants
Dental Implants are a fantastic alternative to traditional methods of replacing missing teeth.
They can look and feel like your own teeth.
What’s more, Dental Implants don’t place the strain on the adjoining teeth that a dental bridge would do.
Although Implants can be more expensive initially, money is saved through protection of the original adjoining teeth. And although dental bridges look good when first fitted, the gum and bone underneath and around the area will shrink over the years and leave gaps and depressions in the gum.
Dentures are a complete pain for many of our patients, particularly lower dentures – but we’ve also met a lot of patients who don’t wear their upper dentures either, mainly because due to an ongoing gag reflex. It’s a shame to go through the hassle, only to find that you end up not solving the problems and so we don’t like to recommend them – unless they’re implant retained dentures.
Implants are different, and have a much higher overall success. They are based on a titanium ‘root’ which is immune to decay and ultra strong. Many Implants placed 25-30 years ago are still giving good service to this day, with much less hassle than the alternatives.
The end results are impressive, and we now also offer sedation to make the time fly for any nervous patients.
Dr Andrew Fennell has a broad experience in implant techniques to the point where Winning Smiles now deliver these advanced services not just for their own patients, but as partners for other dental practices.
