Due to an accident in my mid teens my front
upper left tooth was damaged. Over the years the tooth
was repaired several times.
However, in 1997 it deteriorated and had to be removed.
I realised that this rather large gap had to be filled(for
comfort and appearance reasons). My main concerns were
that its replacement should look natural and be as permanent
as possible.With visions of a false tooth falling out
at inappropriate moments, limited diet or it looking obviously
false the choice of replacement was critical.
I was offered various methods of replacing the tooth and
after some deliberation I realised that a dental implant
would provide the natural look and strength I required.
Although the procedure to fit an implant is more involved
than other methods it is definitely worth it. The time
span involved is monthly to allow the mouth to repair
and grow around the implant naturally which produces a
natural looking strong tooth. Every stage of the implant
was fully explained to me so I understood what was going
to happen and I felt involved with the whole procedure.
I have lived with the implant for almost four years now
without any problems, despite living an active life and
a very varied diet!
Thank you. |
