Missing Teeth and Facial Collapse
Most of the patients that come into us at Seapoint Clinic always say the same thing, that they have perfected the art of covering their mouths with their hands!
However, something you may not have thought about is how having no teeth or wearing a denture can completely alter the structure of your face.
The repeating rubbing of a loose denture can exacerbate bone loss, leading to facial collapse and an aged appearance. However, there is an alternative to traditional dentures and a way to prevent further tooth and bone loss.
Dental implants are the modern solution to this problem and will help maintain your appearance, as they stop facial collapsing. Thousands of patients at Seapoint have been through the dental implant process and have never looked back. We have a range of options to suit all needs, from Click-tite to Teeth in a Day, we will find the right solution for you.
Huge advancements and developments in dental implant technology in recent years, means that we can place implants in patients who have previously been told they were not suitable candidates for the procedure.
Our implant dentists and onsite lab team will ensure you are involved in every stage of the design process of your brand new, fixed teeth. Carmel, a patient at Seapoint, speaks about her experience at the clinic
“I was always terrified I’d end up with the unnatural-looking Hollywood smile! But working with the Seapoint team, we were able to design a shape that suited me, I was even able to pick the exact shade of white I wanted!"
