At Liverpool Smile Studio, we want to help you enjoy a beautiful, healthy smile for the whole of your life. If you look after your teeth carefully and if you visit our dentist Liverpool on a regular basis then your teeth can last for the whole of your life. Poor dental hygiene and poor lifestyle choices alongside avoiding the dentist are the main causes of tooth loss amongst adults. Poor dental hygiene causes tooth decay and gum disease which weakens the teeth and gums resulting in missing teeth. If you want to avoid missing teeth then you need to be visiting our dentist Liverpool at least once every six months, undergoing regular dental health examinations as well as hygienist appointments, to make sure that plaque and tartar are unable to build upon your teeth. Plaque and tartar stick to the surface of your teeth and house millions of bacteria which secrete acids and toxins that can damage your teeth. Regular visits to the hygienist helps remove plaque and tartar from the surface of your teeth and visiting our dentist Liverpool helps identify any dental complications earlier so that they can be treated quickly and effectively before any damage is done.
If you have lost a tooth as a result of poor dental hygiene or avoiding the dentist then you need to speak to our dentist here at Liverpool Smile Studio and find out about replacing the missing tooth as soon as possible.
A missing tooth alters the appearance of your smile and can have a huge impact on your self-confidence and self-esteem. It can affect the impression you make on other people and it can even cause social anxiety, especially when younger patients are missing front teeth.
Dental implants with our dentist
Our dentist can put together an individually tailored treatment plan for you. One of the most popular methods of replacing missing teeth at Liverpool Smile Studio is with dental implants. Our dentist prefers dental implants because they are a permanent solution for replacing missing teeth. Once in place they can last for the whole of your life.
Dental implants can be used for a single missing tooth or they can be used for multiple missing teeth, depending on your individual dental requirements. Here at the practice, we can replace all of your teeth with approximately 4 to 6 dental implants per arch. We will carry out a thorough examination of your remaining teeth and gums, as well as your jawbone to make sure that they are strong and healthy and any dental treatment that is necessary will be carried out beforehand. Once you are ready you will be booked in for dental implant surgery which is an invasive, but safe, procedure carried out under local anaesthetic and sedation. Once the implant is in place it takes about 4 to 6 months and you can replace your missing tooth with a beautiful custom-made crown or a set of partial dentures or full dentures. This will restore the appearance of your teeth and the function of your mouth and allow you to carry on with your life as normal. Speak to us at Liverpool Smile Studio today to find out more.
