Restoring Your Smile with Confidence
Sometimes, despite our best efforts, a tooth cannot be saved and needs to be extracted. This can leave a noticeable gap, potentially affecting both the appearance of your smile and the alignment of nearby teeth. Over time, the bone that once supported the missing tooth can also shrink, reducing the support for your cheeks and lips, leading to a sunken facial appearance.
There are four things you can do with a gap left by a missing tooth:
- Leave it as it is
- Replace it with a false tooth on a denture plate
- Replace it by crowning the teeth either side and putting a bridging tooth between
- Place an implant in the jaw and then a crown on to the implant
Dental Implants have become a popular way to replace the missing tooth owing to their being fixed in the mouth without needing to cut down other teeth nearby, and their prevention of bone loss in that area
Dental Implants
Dental implants are high-quality, long-lasting replacements for missing teeth. There are many reasons that patients now opt for implants over dentures or bridges. They are extremely compatible with the tissues of the mouth and unlike dentures or bridges, they don’t rely on other teeth to stay in and do not put extra stress on the other teeth of the mouth. You don’t have to take them out at night and they are much easier to clean than bridges.
Dental implants are available without needing to travel away from Sutton Coldfield as we place them here at Nothing But The Tooth.
