Best Way to Restore a Natural-Looking Smile After Tooth Loss

Losing a tooth or multiple teeth can initially be a shock but the longer term effect is traumatic and can lead to a loss of self-confidence and have a negative effect on the quality of your life. The first hit is on your appearance. Gaps in your smile often mean you’ll stop smiling altogether as gappy smiles make us look older than we are. Tooth function is also affected and patients we see at Summertown Dental & Implants in Oxford tell us they have difficulty chewing food and speaking clearly after they’ve experienced tooth loss and the loss of their natural teeth.

The question most commonly asked in this situation is “can I bring back my natural smile even after losing one or many teeth?” The short answer is, yes. Dental Implants from Summertown Dental & Implants in Oxford, Oxfordshire, gives you the chance to restore a healthy, natural-looking smile even after suffering all the problems associated with missing teeth.

So what is a dental implant? In short, they’re incredibly tough, strong, titanium supports embedded into the jawbone to provide a solid base where teeth restorations, such as dental crowns or a dental bridge, are attached to complete the smile rehabilitation. Jawbone deterioration is also prevented with the help of a dental implant treatment. The teeth-in-a-day option is also available for those suited for this procedure, wherein the smile restoration is completed without a long wait and within only one day of treatment.

There’s still hope for a bright, confident smile after suffering from the negative effects of tooth loss. Dental implant treatment makes it possible for you to once again have an attractive, natural-looking smile you can be confident about. Smile function is also restored, making it possible for you to enjoy a strong bite so you can eat and enjoy all the foods you like without the discomfort and embarrassment of missing teeth problems or the inconvenience of dentures.
