 Losing teeth can negatively impact dental health and can make you feel self-conscious when talking and smiling. Dental implants are the most advanced and modern way to replace missing teeth, providing a long-lasting solution, and with the proper care, they can sometimes last for life. What are Dental Implants? When we remove a tooth, we take out the entire tooth, including its root. A dental implant artificially replaces the tooth and the tooth root. It is self-supporting, consisting of a small titanium post inserted into the jaw where it soon becomes fused in place. The implant is then strong enough to support a new, replacement tooth. When to Choose Dental Implants? If you have lost one or more teeth, dental implants are frequently a good solution. Treatment is versatile as implants are wonderful for replacing single teeth. They can also restore multiple missing teeth using a dental bridge that fits over the implants. We can even replace complete arches of teeth in this way. Ano...

 Your wisdom teeth are the last adult teeth to appear, usually during the late teens or early 20s. They are the third set of molars to come through, and often, there is insufficient room for these teeth to erupt normally. Consequently, wisdom teeth can create problems by becoming impacted, where they get stuck underneath the adjacent teeth or may try to emerge sideways through the gum. Other times, a wisdom tooth may partially erupt, so it remains partly covered by gum and is very difficult to keep clean and more at risk of becoming infected. Wisdom teeth can also damage the adjacent teeth, causing issues with overcrowding and increasing the risk of these adjacent teeth becoming infected. When wisdom teeth cannot erupt properly, we do need to remove them. Do Wisdom Teeth Always Cause Problems? Some people will have no problems whatsoever as their wisdom teeth push through, and it is always useful to have another set of molars. Therefore, we do not automatically remove wisdom teeth ...

  What Is Invisalign? Invisalign is an orthodontic system that helps straighten teeth using clear aligners made from BPA-free plastic. These will precisely move your teeth into positions predetermined by our dentist. The aligners are removable and will form a tightly fitting plastic ‘skin’ over your teeth that are virtually invisible. You simply need to wear each set of aligners for two weeks, ideally only removing them for meals and for brushing and flossing. It is possible to leave the aligners out for special occasions, but we don’t recommend doing this too frequently as it could delay your treatment. Every two weeks, you will begin wearing a new set of aligners that will continue to move your teeth until they are straightened. Who Can Have Invisalign? Invisalign is designed to treat a wide range of problems that include overcrowding and crooked teeth, as well as underbites, overbites, open bites and crossbites. It isn’t designed to treat complex orthodontic problems. If your te...
