Living with missing teeth is simply not an option for most. From low self-esteem and trouble eating to issues speaking properly and wanting to hide your smile from the world, this is only the tip of the iceberg regarding the detrimental effects of having no teeth.
Your oral health can also be severely affected as missing teeth increases your risk of oral infection. When you lose a tooth, more of your gum becomes exposed to the bacteria and trauma from day-to-day actions, such as chewing hard and sugary foods. Whilst this sounds worrying, there are restorative ‘tooth replacement’ treatment options available to you that can rectify this problem.
Here at Dental House in Sunbury-on-Thames, we offer both removable and permanent treatment options to fill the gaps in your smile. Read on to discover the tooth replacement options available to you!
Permanent missing teeth solutions in Surrey
Made from titanium, dental implants act as an incredibly strong artificial tooth root upon which a crown, bridge or denture is securely attached. Implants are surgically inserted into the jaw under local anaesthetic and integrate into the surrounding jawbone once healed to provide a strong foundation for the new tooth.
Single Dental Implants
If you’re self-conscious about a single missing tooth, we can replace the gap with a beautiful, natural-looking prosthetic secured to a dental implant so that you can be confident in your smile.
Full-Arch ‘Same-Day’ Dental Implants
A ‘teeth in a day’ solution to complete your smile in just one surgical appointment. Provides a full upper or lower arch of teeth so that you can leave the dental chair with a brand-new smile on the day of your appointment.
Implant-Supported Bridges
For those with several missing teeth, an implant-supported bridge works to fill the gaps, with two or more implants being used to support several fixed prosthetics. With implant-supported bridges, there is no need for uncomfortable and loose-fitting dentures!
