- 5 Reasons to Choose Dental Implants
There is a lot of talk these days about dental implants. How familiar are you with just what they are and why they might be a good solution for your teeth? In this guide, we look at why dental implants can be a good choice if you are experiencing problems with missing teeth or badly fitting, uncomfortable dentures. Here are five reasons why dental implants have become such a popular solution.
1. They don’t cost the earth
For most, the decision not to have their missing teeth fixed is based on the assumption that treatment is unaffordable. Although dental implants were once very costly, with the modern technology and low cost approach pioneered by Perfect Pearls, dental implant treatment is considerably cheaper than you might have thought. It is also important to remember that when properly looked after, implants can last for years to come, making them a truly long-term investment that will leave you looking and feeling better than ever.
2. They are tried and tested
Dental implants are a tried and tested solution that has proven to be a benefit to hundreds of thousands. The reliable treatment is suited to a range of situations from a single missing tooth to a complete arch, and anything in between. Depending on the situation the number of implants required may vary, but the result is always a stable, secure new set of replacement teeth that are as close to your original teeth as possible.
3. They can help reverse the effects of aging
Missing teeth cause changes to take place in the structure of your jaw. Over a longer period of time, this can start to change the shape of your face and contribute significantly to the appearance of aging. By replacing missing teeth with dental implants, it is possible to prevent this from occurring and even help to reverse the effects, helping you to look younger for longer.
4. They can improve your oral hygiene
Missing teeth or poorly fitting and uncomfortable dentures can be detrimental to your oral hygiene. With dental implants, a full set of teeth will be fully restored. This makes it much easier for you to look after your tooth brushing without experiencing pain or discomfort, as well as filling gaps between teeth that can leave you exposed to a higher risk of gum disease. Once your dental implants have been fitted, you’ll be able to return to brushing your teeth as normal, just like they were your original teeth.
5. They can improve your quality of life
Problems with the teeth can quickly have a significant impact on your quality of life. Not only do missing teeth undermine your sense of confidence and wellbeing when smiling, speaking and eating, they can also have a direct impact on your diet as certain types of food become difficult or uncomfortable to eat. This in turn can have an impact on your diet, which can affect your health.

- Smoking and the effects on your dental implants
Smoking is one of the highest causes of implant failure. This is due to the effects of nicotine and the smoke itself.
Nicotine – constriction of blood vessels, which slows healing
Chemicals – greater susceptibility to infections
A slower healing process
The longer it takes for the surrounding bone to heal around the implant, the higher the chances of infection or early implant loss.
Nicotine replacements also cause a slower healing process, but with a lower chance of infection from the tobacco chemicals.
What are my options?
- Quit smoking – the best option everytime
- Take a break – (Stop for 2 weeks before and 2-3 months after)
- Nicotine Replacement – (Vaping, patches, chewing gum)
- Cut down – The less the better.
We always recommend quitting smoking!

- How Dental Implants Can Help You Stay Healthy
For many, dental implants may be viewed as a luxury rather than a necessity, something that might help to improve the appearance of your teeth but nothing more. In reality, there are several reasons why this is far from the truth. In this article, we look at some of the health benefits of dental implants.
Confidence
When it comes to confidence, everybody naturally has a different level and society imposes no requirement on anybody to be a confident person. Regardless of this, it is a fact that missing teeth can have a hugely detrimental effect on our confidence and general sense of wellbeing, which can cause issues in all areas of our life, both private and professional. From avoiding family photos and hiding smiles, to actually avoiding contact with others and turning down opportunities, the long term effects of self-confidence issues due to missing teeth can actually have a real impact on your success and your relationships with others.
Speech
Over a prolonged period of time, missing teeth are now known to actually have an effect on speech. When a tooth is missing for a long time, the bone which supports and surrounds the tooth – known as the alveolar bone – begins to decrease in both width and height. This in turn can eventually have an effect on the jawbone itself. The problem is greater the higher the number of missing teeth, but left unchecked can affect the speech, causing further problems with self-esteem.
Facial Aesthetics
The phenomena of bone loss described above can also eventually have other more visible effects, causing the mouth to gradually change shape over a long period of time. One noticeable effect is hollowing of the cheeks, which can begin appearing as early as the age of 45. With progression, support for the lips will also be reduced. The combined effect is early aging of the face. The lack of support in the jaw area can also lead to someone developing an ‘unhappy’ appearance.
Diet
Missing teeth or badly fitting replacements, including dentures, can cause extreme discomfort when eating. The longer pain or discomfort is experienced, the more likely individuals are to limit their diet, which can have a detrimental effect on their health. In older patients, research indicates that poorly fitting dentures can also contribute to unintentional weight loss in the elderly, which can become a potentially serious health issue.
Dental implants – a universal solution
Dental implants and modern dental techniques are a solution that can help solve the problems associated with missing teeth and badly fitting or loose dentures. From a single tooth to a full bridge or retained dentures, you can have a lasting solution that not only leaves you feeling confident but also prevents more serious problems developing later on, leaving you happy and healthy today, tomorrow and beyond.

- How well do you know your teeth?
We rarely think about our teeth until something causes us to feel unhappy about them. In fact, it is often only when we lose or damage them that we become truly aware of their importance. So how much do you really know about your teeth? Here are 5 questions to test your knowledge.
1. How many teeth does a child have?
Most of us know all about stress of teething and visits from the tooth fairy, but how many of the little white things do children actually have? Milk teeth begin to form before birth and generally cut through between the ages of 6 – 12 months old. It can take up to about three years of age for a full set to be fully established. A full set consists of a total of 20 teeth.
The proper name for what are typically known as milk teeth is deciduous teeth. These teeth begin to fall out between the ages about five to six years old. Don’t be fooled by their importance either – they play an essential role in the correct formation of the jaw cavity, creating the space for the permanent teeth to grow into. Milk teeth also play an essential part in the development of the smile and speech. These are just some of the reasons it’s important for children to begin visiting the dentist as early as possible.
2. So do adults have 20 teeth too?
It would be logical to assume that each milk tooth that is lost is replaced by its adult version – but in fact, you’d be wrong. The final number for an adult is 32 – 12 more than a baby!
Most of these teeth will have formed by the age of about 12 -14, but the infamous wisdom teeth – the last four to emerge – typically appear between 17 – 21 years.
3. What are the wisdom teeth and why are they often removed?
It’s widely believed that the name wisdom teeth derives from the wisdom we should possess by the time they appear. Wisdom teeth are the last set of molars to erupt and anthropologists believe that wisdom teeth were the evolutionary answer to our ancestor’s early diet of coarse, rough food – like leaves, roots, nuts and meats – which required more chewing power and resulted in excessive wear of the teeth. Today’s diet with its softer foods, along with the introduction of tools such as forks, spoons and knives, has actually rendered the wisdom teeth irrelevant. Consequently, evolutionary biologists now classify wisdom teeth as vestigial organs, or body parts that have become functionless due to evolution.
Another effect of this evolution is that the human jaw has also become smaller, leading to the problem of impacted or blocked wisdom teeth that only partially emerge. This can lead to tooth pain, infections and abscesses. In such cases, it may be in the patient’s best interest to have them removed.
4. Do different teeth have special names?
So you know your wisdom teeth and you may well have heard of molars, but are there any other types of teeth? In total, there are four types of permanent teeth:
Incisors. The four front teeth on the top and bottom jaw that are used for cutting and chopping food.
Canine teeth. These are sharp, pointy teeth which help to tear food. There is one on each side of your incisors on your top and bottom jaw, making a total of four.
Premolars. Premolars (also called bicuspid teeth) are located next to the canine teeth and are bigger and wider than the incisors and canine teeth. There are four on your top jaw and four on the bottom, giving eight in total. They are used for crushing and grinding food.
Molars. The molars are your strongest teeth and together with your tongue help you swallow food, mashing it up until it’s ready to be swallowed safely. There are eight molars: four on top and four on the bottom.
5. What are teeth actually made of?
There are actually two parts to the tooth. The external covering of the visible part of the tooth, known as the crown, and the inner parts which actually make up most of the tooth.
The external surface of the tooth is made from a material called enamel. This is a hard, shiny substance which protects the sensitive inner part of the tooth and is actually the hardest natural substance in the body.
Beneath the enamel is a sensitive substance known as dentine. This is softer than the enamel and serves to protect the inner part of the tooth which we call the pulp. The pulp is where each tooth’s blood supply and nerve endings are found, which play an essential part in keeping the tooth alive and healthy.
Finally, there is a substance known as cementum which covers the root of the tooth, and the periodontal fibres which connect the tooth to the jaw.
Whether you are missing a single tooth or are in need of a complete reconstruction, the low-cost dental implants solutions available at the award-winning Perfect Pearls Dental Implant Centres mean that you can restore your smile and rebuild your confidence at an affordable price.

- Love yourself, love your smile
With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, it seems only fitting that our latest article should talk about love. Here at Perfect Pearls, we believe that your smile is a lot like that special person in your life life – something you should cherish, enjoy and be proud of. And if you have yet to meet your match, don’t worry – like true love, it’s never too late either. No matter how old (or young) you feel, with Perfect Pearls a perfect smile is still just around the corner. We believe that everybody deserves the opportunity to have a smile they love, and there has never been a better time to invest in yourself and your smile. Here’s why:
Quality of Life
An attractive, healthy smile is not just something you use to attract Mr or Mrs Right – it is something that has a considerable effect on our daily lives, from our sense of confidence and self-esteem to our ability to eat comfortably and healthily.
In recent surveys of UK adults, damaged, discoloured or missing teeth were ranked the biggest cause of dissatisfaction in personal appearance and the most common cause of lack of confidence. With those who feel more confident more likely to succeed in getting the job they want, this can have very really financial implications. Investing in success by looking after your smile may just pay dividends in the long run.
When it comes to eating, problems with the teeth can quickly lead to discomfort or even pain – making it hard to enjoy your favourite meals, and even making it impossible to eat a healthy and balanced diet in extreme cases. This naturally becomes a greater problem with age, especially if we do not take steps to look after our smiles early on. With what you eat having such as impact on your health, investing in your teeth now might be one of the best things you can ever do to help you enjoy a happy and healthy life later on.
How implants can help
Over recent decades, there have been huge developments in every aspect of dental care – from the techniques that dentists now have at their disposal to the very way in which patients are treated. All things considered,there has never been a better time to invest in the smile you’ve always longed for. One area that has perhaps seen the biggest development of all is that of dental implants.
A dental implant is essentially a titanium screw that is mounted into the jaw bone to perform the same function as the natural root of a tooth. Once it has fused with the bone, it provides an incredibly stable anchor to support one or more replacement teeth. Even if the jawbone itself is not in the best condition, techniques such as bone grafting mean that almost anybody can now benefit from the implants. This means that more and more people can take advantage of dental implants regardless of age.
Although the concept has been in use for years, advanced techniques mean that dental implants are now a versatile and reliable way to restore smiles by replacing anything from a single missing tooth to a complete reconstruction. With the entire process often complete within six months, a perfect smile is not as far away as you might have thought it was.
Investing in yourself
Until relatively recently, cosmetic dentistry and procedures such as dental implants were so expensive that they were very much limited to the wealthy. With the pioneering low cost approach to dental implants that Perfect Pearls Clinics have pioneered in the UK over the last decade, that has all changed.
There has also been a notable change in attitudes over recent years that is connected with increased longevity, improved living standards and a booming economy. Factors such as equity release mortgage costs and inheritance tax are also shaping attitudes towards inheritance. The traditional notion of ‘leave everything to the kids’ has very much been replaced with an ‘I deserve to invest in me’ approach.
For those who feel that they’ve earned the right to invest in themselves, electing to tackle the smile is a very sensible investment that will return itself over and over in terms of the health and lifestyle benefits to be enjoyed as a result. And believe it or not, it may not cost anything like what you thought it might.
Perfect Pearls Clinics have been providing clients with the very best in dental implantation for a number of years. Our mission is simple – to provide our patients with the highest standard of dentistry possible at the best prices in the UK. We save you money, but never compromise on standards and service. To book a free implantation consultation (worth £120) now, call us Wolverhampton 01902 500823 or contact us online.

- Dreaming of a Summer Smile? Start Today!
The Christmas break may well be over, but with the cold, dark mornings reminding us that it is still very much winter, you could be forgiven for beginning to think about your summer holidays. In fact, if you have ever dreamed of having perfect teeth for that holiday of a lifetime, now is actually the perfect time to think and act. With Perfect Pearls Dental Implant Clinics, you can be saying goodbye to gaps between your teeth in time for summer with our leading implant treatments.
What is a dental implant?
A dental implant is an artificial root which is placed into the jaw in order to support a replacement tooth, bridges or dentures. The root, which is not unlike a screw, is typically made of titanium which bonds with the bone in the jaw to provide the strongest possible support for artificial teeth. Because of their strength and versatility, implants can be used to help replace anything from a single tooth to a complete set.
How do dental implants work?
Dental implants function as a replacement for the root of a tooth. Just like a natural tooth root, they sit in the jawbone and provide a firm anchor which allows a replacement tooth to be mounted independently of the teeth around it. Once the implant has been fitted, it typically takes around four months for the jaw to grow onto it and fuse the implant to the bone. Once this has successfully happened, permanent replacement teeth can then be mounted. The end result is replacement teeth that, if properly looked after, will look and feel just like natural teeth.
Can anybody have implants?
Generally speaking, the most important factor to consider is the amount and condition of the bone available in the jaw. Luckily, with today’s advanced dentistry, this is rarely a problem. If the area is not suitable, a bone graft can be used to provide a sufficient amount of bone for the implant. A bone graft can take up to six months to fuse with the existing bone. In many cases the implant can be fitted at the same time, improving the time taken to complete the treatment and also reducing the number of visits required. Whilst bone grafting may sound scary, don’t be put off. It is performed by dental experts under local anaesthetic. Most patients don’t feel anything more than the mild discomfort that you’d expect from any dental treatment.
Great, when can I start?
Because the suitability of dental implants depends on the individual patient, it is essential to begin with a consultation with a dental surgeon who has specialist knowledge of implants. You may also need to have X-rays or CT scans as part of the initial process. Once a complete assessment has been conducted and the dental surgeon has all the information required, you can start as soon as you wish.
Why choose Perfect Pearls?
Perfect Pearls is an award-winning UK-wide dental implant clinic offering the highest quality dental implant treatment at the most competitive prices available.

- All You Need to Know About Dental Implants
Whether your dentist has just mentioned them for the first time, or if they are something you have been considering for a while, the chances are you have questions about what exactly they are and how the procedure works. In this article, we answer some of the most common questions about this increasingly popular treatment.
What are Dental Implants?
A dental implant is a titanium screw that is used to replace the root of a tooth when it fails and support one or more false teeth. It is placed into the jawbone just like the original root, and offers a secure and safe way to get back your smile. They can be used to secure anything from a single tooth to an entire bridge.
Can Anybody Have Implants?
Generally speaking, implants are suitable for the majority of patients. The treatment does, however, rely on the condition of the bone in the jaw, so a thorough investigation must be conducted for any individual wishing to get implants. This will involve a dentist carrying out special tests to see if there is enough bone, and if it is in good enough condition.
What if I Don’t Have a Suitable Jaw?
If there is not a sufficient amount of bone or if health issues are identified, it may still be possible to place implants. In this situation, however, a bone graft may first be required. This involves either taking some donor bone from adjacent areas or using bone from other sources and placing it in the deficient area. After a few months, the bone will bond sufficiently with the surrounding bone to support the implant.
Does Having Dental Implants Fitted Hurt?
As with any dental procedure, there is never a guarantee that you won’t experience pain. However, the process of fitting implants is usually conducted under local anaesthetic and in most cases can actually be easier and less painful than a tooth extraction. You will, like with an extraction, feel discomfort in the week following the procedure, but most patients say that the benefits far outweigh any discomfort.
How Long Does it Take?
The time required to complete dental implant surgery varies from person to person, but on average the work is completed within three to four months. This is because once fitted, the jaw bone needs to grow around the implants to fuse them into place before teeth can be supported. If your dentist feels that the implant is stable enough, he or she may be able to fit the replacement teeth sooner. It is important to remember that patience is the key to a successful outcome, so you should always trust your dentist’s judgement.
I’ve Got My New Teeth – What’s Next?
For implant surgery to be fully effective and leave you with a lasting smile, it is important to follow your dentist’s guidelines and properly look after your implants. This means that it is very important to keep them properly clean and visit your dentist for regular check ups – just as you normally would. Treat them with the same respect you would your natural teeth and you should have a lasting smile.

- Are dentures making you feel old? Teeth implants vs dentures
Picture a pair of false teeth in a glass of water by the bedside. Now imagine the owner of those dentures. Chances are you saw an elderly person. Perhaps a kindly old grandma or grandpa, like you’d see in a child’s storybook.
If you’re a denture wearer, it’s unlikely you fit this stereotype – or want to. People need full dentures for all sorts of reasons. Age is often a factor. But accidents and illness can be responsible for missing teeth – as well as tooth decay and gum disease.
Getting used to dentures
Removable dentures aren’t like having your own teeth back. Wearing them takes time to get used to. In the beginning, your mouth might feel sore and uncomfortable. If you continue to suffer from dental sores, your dentist can adjust the fit of your dentures, which might help.
Some words can be hard to pronounce when you start wearing dentures. With practice, this will improve. The same goes for eating; try soft food first and try to chew with both sides of your mouth at once.
Denture replacement options
Even with time, some people never get used to – or like – wearing dentures. Implant retained dentures can secure your dentures meaning you’ll never have to worry about laughing, speaking or chewing again. These small titanium screws attach to overdentures and hold them securely in place. The treatment is less invasive than full dental implants and is even suitable for people with bone loss. Implant retained dentures also offer an alternative to a tooth bridge or fixed partial denture.

Midlife smile makeover
We recently wrote about how 50 is the new 40. Many people who are 50 plus are choosing now to fulfil longstanding aspirations and ambitions. A career change, travel or an image overhaul are all things that can make us feel young again. The last thing that should hold you back is dentures.
If you’d like a free consultation for implant retained dentures, give the team at Perfect Pearls a call on 01902 500 823. We’re here to help.

- Cheap Dental Implants & Everything You Wanted To Know
Oh, the joy of biting into a crisp apple, or eating a crusty bread roll. It’s often simple pleasures like these that we miss when we have missing teeth. For some people, things they wouldn’t think twice about before, such as smiling or meeting new people, can now seem daunting. And it’s quite common for people with dentures or missing teeth to feel less confident than they once were.
We’d all like to think that where our health is concerned, money is no object. But the reality is we all have to stick to a budget. The cost of implants can vary, especially between the UK and abroad. At Perfect Pearls, our dental implant prices mean high quality treatment is affordable for everyone.
Yes, dental implants are a safe, tried-and-tested way to replace missing teeth. Implants have been used in dentistry since the mid-1960s. Quote from the British Dental Health website”Implants are a safe, well-established treatment. It’s probably true to say that implants, much like natural teeth, will last for as long as you care for them.”
We can help. Bone grafts can replace lost bone and create a foundation for your implants. Our clinics in Luton and Wolverhampton have state-of-the-art digital imaging equipment which allows us to see a 3D picture of your mouth. Our expert oral surgeons will determine how best to replace lost bone and create the best foundation for implants.
The reason dental implants are so like natural teeth is the integration between the jawbone and the implant. The process can take about 12 weeks. Placing the implant and a crown or bridge all in the same day means the implant has to deal with the pressure of everyday use before it is fully stable. As a result, there’s a greater chance the implant might fail. Having a dental implant in stages has a better chance of success.
Implants can last a lifetime if you commit to looking after them. Just as implants can replace your natural teeth, they have to be cared for like your own teeth too:
- Brush your teeth for 2 minutes twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste
- Cut down on how often you have sugary foods and drinks
- Visit your dentist for check-ups as often as they recommend
Studies show that 95% of implants last a minimum of 5 years. But most will have a much longer life. Perfect Pearls offer a lifetime guarantee on their implants.
A dental implant is an artificial tooth root. A single implant can replace 1 tooth, or 2 can create a bridge for several teeth. Dental implants are the closest thing to having your own teeth back. In fact, many patients can’t tell the difference – and neither will anyone else.
There are 4 steps to having dental implants:
- Agree a treatment plan
Visit a Perfect Pearls clinic in Luton or Wolverhampton for a free consultation. You’ll meet your dentist, talk about your treatment and agree on a plan. If you have bone loss, your dentist will discuss how we can help.
- Have your implant placed
When you’re ready, you can arrange an appointment to have your implant. You’ll return to our clinic, where your dentist will place the implant in your jaw. It will be covered with a ‘healing cap’ to protect the implant.
- Allow time for bonding
Over about 3/4 months, the bone in your jaw will begin to bond with the titanium in the implant. This process creates a strong foundation for your new teeth.
- Get your new teeth fitted
4-6 months later, It’s the moment you’ve been waiting for – your new smile. Your dentist will fit your custom-made crown or bridge.
You probably have lots more questions about dental implants, which our friendly team will be glad to answer for you. Why not book your free consultation call 01902 500 823

- What Every Dental Implants Patient Should Know About Peri-Implantitis
Implants have been a highly successful dental innovation over the last 30 years. They are known for being the next best thing to your own teeth.
Made of high-quality titanium and porcelain, dental implants won’t decay like natural teeth. But that doesn’t mean they are indestructible. Now dental experts are coming up against a new disease affecting implants patients – peri-implantitis.
Peri-implantitis is an inflammatory disease that begins with bacterial infection around the implant. The infection causes inflammation of the gums and can lead to bone loss in the jaw. If the jawbone is affected, it can cause the implant to become unstable leading to failure.
Around 10,000 lower jaw implant procedures are done in the UK each year. And some studies suggest one-third of patients could be affected. So how can you make sure you’re not one of them?
Because bone loss is painless, so many people don’t realise they have peri-implantisis until it’s too late. That’s why you will need to keep a vigilant eye on your implants.
Peri-implantitis develops after a much milder disease called peri-implant mucositis. This disease is common and treatable. So if you spot the early warning signs and receive treatment, you should prevent peri-implantisis:
- Red, swollen gums
- Gums bleed when probed
There are straightforward steps you can take to cut your chances of developing peri-implantitis:
Scrupulous oral hygiene
Follow a strict dental hygiene routine brushing at least twice a day, using mouthwash and flossing with interdental brushes. Your Perfect Pearls professional will be able to guide you on the best way to individually care for your implants.
Regular check-up appointments
Regular follow-up appointments after an implant are essential. You’ll need to visit your dentist as often as they recommend so they can spot any issues before they become serious.
The need for regular check-ups is a very good reason not to have your implants abroad. Lifelong maintenance and follow-up plays a key part in the success of your implant.
Smoking is one of the main causes of implant failure. To give your implant the best chance of lasting for life, you’ll have to kick the habit.

- Midlife Makeover: A Youthful Smile Is Great For Your Body And Mind
Hitting the big 4-0 used to be the start of middle age. But now, with increased life expectancy, scientists are saying middle age starts later – at around 50. So, it seems 50 is the new 40. And, more 50-somethings are choosing now to sort out their teeth and get the smile they’ve always wanted.
We don’t need science to tell us we’re not as old as we used to be. Better health, nutrition and economic conditions mean people are fitter and healthier for longer. So those in their 50s nowadays are less likely to accept their lot.
Career changes and adult gap years are just some of the paths to personal fulfilment that are on the rise. After all, why put up with something you’re not happy with for the next 30 years?
As we age, our teeth start to betray tell-tale signs of ageing. And the worst offender is missing teeth. Having gaps where teeth should be doesn’t just make us seem older. The resulting bone loss can in fact cause the face to sag.
Dental implants can help you get your natural, healthy-looking smile back. And, if you wear dentures, mini-implants can stabilise them and prevent bone loss.
Our 50s is a great time to have a smile makeover. We’ve been working and saving for many years. Those with kids may now be seeing them leave home. So, it’s time to think about ourselves for a change.
Getting the smile you’ve always wanted will make you feel great. Once we reach our 50s, our teeth need more looking after. Teeth wear, break and need restoration.
The over 50s are more prone to gum disease. And, as there’s a strong link between unhealthy gums and heart disease, getting your smile fixed could help protect your heart.
For more information about restoring your smile, call Perfect Pearls’ friendly team on 01902 500 823.
