FAQs

Yes, dental implants are designed to function like natural teeth, allowing you to eat a wide variety of foods without restrictions. They provide a strong and stable foundation, making it easier to chew and enjoy your favourite meals.

Caring for dental implants is similar to caring for natural teeth. Regular brushing, flossing, and routine dental check-ups are essential to maintain the health of your implants and the surrounding gum tissue.

Dental implant procedures are usually performed under local anaesthesia, so you should not feel pain during the surgery. Some discomfort and swelling may occur after the procedure, but this can typically be managed with over-the-counter pain medication and usually subsides within a few days.

At Chelmsford Dental, we offer several options for replacing missing teeth, including dental implants, dental bridges, and dentures. Each solution is tailored to meet individual needs, ensuring both functionality and aesthetics are restored.

Failing to replace a missing tooth can lead to several issues, including misalignment of surrounding teeth, increased risk of gum disease, and potential bone loss in the jaw. Addressing a missing tooth promptly can help maintain oral health and prevent more complex dental problems in the future.
