Dental Implants, Whilst Restorative, are Cosmetic
- Dental implants are treatments for missing teeth.
- They were originally conceived to replace teeth lost due to decay, infection, or damage.
- Their main purpose was to restore the patient’s chewing ability and proper tooth function.
- Dental implants also prevent the other neighbouring and opposing teeth from tilting and moving over time into the space left by the original tooth.
Aesthetics and function
However, over the years, dental implants have evolved to serve both aesthetic and functional purposes. This is especially true for the teeth in the front of the mouth.
The main driver for the implant’s combined aesthetic and functional ability has been the loss of confidence felt by those with missing front teeth. When teeth are lost, they can also lead to deteriorating self-esteem.
This has been known to have a significant negative impact on people and their lives. Dental treatments have been a welcome solution to many psychological issues arising from tooth loss and physical dental disability. We can carry out dental implant treatments at our Hertford clinic.

Aesthetic dental implants for enhanced vital work is now an established and growing field of dentistry. It covers treatments such as gum enhancements around the implant and highly aesthetic porcelain crowns supported by the dental implant.
Nowadays, treatments can replace any loss of gum, bone, or tooth at the front of the mouth to result in realistic-looking teeth and smiles.
When treatment planning is done for cases where implants are considered, the top part of the implant, whether a crown, bridge, or denture, is designed with the new smile and aesthetics in mind.
In some cases, additional surgical treatments like gum and bone grafts are essential to enhance the gum architecture and produce a realistic result. In others, a correctly shaped and highly aesthetic porcelain crown is all that is required.
All implant treatment plans consider the implant teeth’ colour, texture, shade, shape, and size.
The treatment aims to blend with the rest of the mouth so that nobody can tell which teeth are natural and which are artificial.
Implants are more permanent than dentures or bridges, making them a long-term solution. With regular care and attention, your dental implants can last a lifetime.
