Single Tooth Implants Sheffield

Single Tooth Implants at Space Dental Sheffield

When it comes to tooth loss solutions, finding the best option for you can be overwhelming. There are different options available, but sometimes all you need is reassurance with a simple, long-lasting solution. Single dental implants are a common solution for tooth loss where patients may have lost singular teeth between otherwise healthy teeth. Single dental implants work by replacing the root of the tooth using a metal implant and, over time, this fuses with your jawbone which then provides additional strength and structure to the mouth and dental crown. Single dental implants function and look just like a natural tooth, providing a fixed and permanent solution to tooth loss.

Protect Your Oral Health

Many people think that missing one or two teeth isn’t a cause for concern, however, leaving missing teeth untreated can impact your oral health in the long run, causing irreversible damage to your teeth and gums. Not only can tooth loss affect your confidence, but missing teeth can be the catalyst for further shifting and moving of the surrounding teeth. This can then lead to further problems, such as gaps forming and an increased risk of tooth decay and gum disease. Tooth loss can lead to long-term dental problems such as gum disease, tooth decay to the surrounding teeth and dental trauma, so even if one or two teeth are missing, it can have effects on your oral health. Although dental bridges and dentures are an alternative treatment, single dental implants in Sheffield offer longevity and outstanding results.
