Losing a tooth can be really distressing, especially if it is a front tooth. Missing teeth have an obvious impact on the look of the smile, but they can also contribute to issues related to your oral health, confidence and the way you carry out day to day activities, such as chewing your food. Thankfully, there are some really impressive tooth replacement treatments available now, including dental implants. Dental implants are the closest thing to natural teeth available at the moment; they are designed to replace the root of the missing tooth and are made to integrate fully into the actual jaw tissue, so that they can perform all the functions of a natural tooth. Implants are a life-changing treatment for patients of all ages, from those who have a single missing tooth as a result of an injury or accident, to those who have a large number of missing teeth. Once the implant has healed, it is then attached to a restoration; there are various options on offer to cater for patients with any number of missing teeth and once the crown, denture or bridge is in place, the smile will look amazing and full function will be restored to the mouth. Implants are not the cheapest option on offer, but they last much longer than the alternatives and they provide many benefits, from improved tooth function to amazing, natural looking smiles. Implant treatment usually takes several months, as it takes time for the implant to integrate into the jaw bone; however, there are other options available for those who are looking for instant results, such as the All-on-4 system.
