Transform your smile to its best with dental implants Navan

Why visit a dentist?

Oral health is an important aspect of an individual’s overall health. It is just as important as physical and mental health. In order to take care of teeth and gums it is advisable to visit our dentist at least once a year to make sure that they are sufficiently maintained. If you are experiencing oral health issues, it may be necessary to visit our dentist more often to get your teeth and gums back to being sound and fully functional. Our dentist will recommend the best possible solutions and treatments for any dental health problems, so that you will experience relief from distress and discomfort that can arise from having poor dental hygiene.

Why is dental hygiene important?

Dental hygiene is important because it plays a large part in boosting a person’s appearance and overall health. Good dental hygiene means that an individual doesn’t need to deal with bad breath, discoloured teeth, cavities and toothache on a scale that many of us do. These conditions can cause a litany of problems that have a negative impact on a person’s life. It can be difficult to lead a productive life when dealing with toothache. Bad dental hygiene affects a person’s confidence and therefore their quality of life. Maintaining good oral hygiene also helps an individual to be free of debilitating dental health problems which can ultimately result in the loss of teeth.

What are some common dental treatments?

There are a variety of dental treatments available, those offered differ according to the dental issue faced by a patient. Some of the most common types of dental treatments include braces, crowns, veneers, fillings and gum surgery. However when someone loses a tooth or teeth we, as a dental practice, have to look at restorative treatments for this patient. These can include bridges, dentures, crowns and oral implants. Dental implants Navan are one of the most widely used dental treatments to provide our patients with a solution to missing teeth. Our dentist will advise you whether it is the best option or treatment for you after a thorough examination of your dental health and asking about any other medical conditions which might affect the efficacy of this treatment.

What is a dental implant?

Dental implants Navan are small titanium screws that are surgically placed into the jawbone to support a dental prosthesis which may be a crown, bridge or denture. This treatment is commonly prescribed for individuals with missing teeth in order to replace them. A dental implant is almost indistinguishable from a natural tooth, furthermore, it doesn’t affect any of the nearby teeth as some prostheses do and therefore is one of the best options around. The fact that the tooth root is replaced means that the jawbone is stimulated and is stopped from resorbing adding strength to the facial structure.

The fact that a dental implant is made using titanium means that it integrates well with the bone without causing infection or disease. Dental implants Navan have an impressive success rate and therefore are one of the most accessible, practical and feasible options available for individuals with missing teeth. Even if an individual has a single tooth missing, this is one of the most viable treatment options for them. One of the key aims of a dental implant is to restore the function of the missing tooth or teeth as well as restoring its aesthetics. Plus it is not necessary to provide one implant per tooth. A number of teeth can be attached to one implant using a bridge or dentures, but meaning that they are securely fixed.
