What are Dental Implants?
Dental implants serve as artificial roots, placed into your mouth, that support fixed or removable tooth replacements. Implants can be used when one tooth or several teeth are missing, or when the whole jaw is completely without teeth.
Dental crowns and bridges are then produced as your replacement teeth. They are individually designed to look and feel like your natural teeth. These crowns and bridges are then placed on to the tooth implant, to create a fantastic new smile.
Matt the dentist from the first time I turned up to my last appointment has done an incredible job, I cannot thank him enough for giving me my smile back. What an amazing team!
If you have a phobia of the dentists, then this video is a must watch for you! Our amazing patient Karen sits down to discuss her fears of the dentist and how, together with principal dentist Matthew Lamb and the Glendair Team, she has managed to transform her confidence! Karen has had four upper dental implants and she explains what this process was like as a nervous patient and how the experience has made her able to smile again!
“When I had to have a denture I hated it! As much as I persevered I just couldn’t get on with it. I’d have to take it out for meals and it spoiled my social life. I decided to have dental implants with Matt at Glendair and I’ve never looked back. It’s a lot of money and a long procedure but it was so worth it in the end. I feel like I have my mental health and my life back. We went out the other week and I ate steak again! Matt is wonderful and easy going and you can be yourself. Jo and Ruth are very nice and all of the team are really supportive. If it comes to having a denture or implants, think long and hard. Dentures are the easier option but implants outweigh them. Implants are just like having your own teeth and the investment is for your wellbeing – money well spent! It’s the best thing I’ve ever done.”
“My experience spans many years of having problems with my teeth and gums, from painful infections to teeth becoming loose and eventually falling out, along with the expense and difficulty of getting treatment that often felt like only a temporary fix.
I lived in almost constant anxiety and stress, and at times serious pain and discomfort. By the time I decided to consider implants, I was told this would not be advisable unless I gave up smoking. Fortunately, with e-cigarettes becoming available, I managed to quit with relative ease. I had also moved from Dorset to Derbyshire and, again fortunately, found Glendair and specifically, Matt.
By 2016, aged 58, implants were no longer just an option to consider; they were essential to my wellbeing, both physically and mentally. Yes, it is expensive. However, I was already spending upwards of £2,000 a year maintaining dentures and the ever-fewer teeth I had left.
Facing another ten years of the same, only to end up with full dentures, made it an easy decision for me — especially as repeated infections were eating away at the bone. Furthermore, and this was critical to my decision, I had complete confidence in Matt. As for the procedure itself, yes, it takes time, and yes, at times you feel a little battered and bruised. But at no point was I ever in pain, which was a very pleasant and welcome surprise.
After nearly nine years, I have more than recouped the initial expense. My implants are strong, the bone has healed, and they’re easy to care for. Most importantly, I’m free from the anxiety and stress that plagued me for over a decade before the procedure.
(I can even chew on an American Hard Gum, I tried one as a test, something I hadn’t been able to do confidently since losing a filling in my twenties!)”
