What are dental implants?
Dental implants are a revolutionary solution for replacing missing teeth, providing unmatched stability, functionality, and aesthetics. Unlike traditional dentures or bridges, dental implants are surgically placed into the jawbone, acting as artificial tooth roots. This not only restores your smile but also helps preserve bone structure and prevent further dental issues.
Reasons for missing teeth
We understand there are various reasons why someone might have missing teeth. One common cause is prolonged tooth decay resulting in eventual tooth loss. Gum disease, such as periodontitis, can also result in tooth loss if left untreated. Accidents or trauma to the mouth can knock out teeth, whether through sports injuries, falls, or accidents.
Additionally, genetic factors can play a role, predisposing some individuals to dental issues like congenitally missing teeth. Furthermore, certain medical conditions such as osteoporosis or autoimmune diseases may contribute to tooth loss.
The Scottish Centre for Excellence in Dentistry recognises that losing teeth doesn’t just cause physical discomfort, it can cause mental distress. Often having missing teeth can prevent people from sharing their smiles and from enjoying certain foods. Whatever the reason for your tooth loss, we will never judge you and will do all that we can to restore your teeth to be fully functional and aesthetically pleasing so you feel more confident to share your smile once more.
Cost of dental implants
At NEDI, we understand that the cost of dental implants can be a concern for many patients. That’s why we offer flexible finance options to help spread the cost of treatment, with our finance partner Medenta, making it more accessible. We believe that no one should have to suffer from missing teeth, and our team is dedicated to helping you achieve the smile of your dreams.
