If you are missing one tooth or many, you can either replace them or leave gaps in your mouth. However, if you fail to replace your missing teeth, you will face a number of complications with your oral health. At the same time, your chances of losing more teeth will also increase.<\/p>\n

Nowadays, there are several options for replacing missing teeth, but dental implants are the most reliable one. Unlike conventional dentures and bridges, dental implants are embedded into the jawbone, where they create a strong foundation for natural-looking replacement teeth.<\/p>\n

\"DentalAt Farnham Road Dental Practice<\/strong> in Guilford, dental implants<\/a> are ideal for those seeking to rebuild their smile and restore their oral function. Dental implants do not require support from adjacent teeth, and they keep the jawbone strong and healthy by replacing the roots of the missing teeth.<\/p>\n

Effective tooth restoration<\/strong><\/p>\n

Most tooth replacement options, like removable dentures and bridges, just sit on the gums without interacting with the jawbone. While offering an aesthetic result, these options leave you at risk of jawbone degeneration.<\/p>\n

This is because once a tooth is lost, the body starts to reabsorb the jawbone because it knows there is no tooth to support. Over time, this can cause the remaining teeth to shift out of place into the gap created by the missing tooth.<\/p>\n

Dental implants act as root replacement and restore the oral function completely. A small titanium post is placed directly into the jaw to replicate the root of a lost tooth. This not only gives the replacement tooth a sturdy foundation, but it also supports the jaw just like a natural tooth does, ensuring that it will maintain its shape and strength over time. Moreover, dental implants encourage the growth of new bone tissue.<\/p>\n

After the post has been positioned within the jawbone, a replacement tooth, including crowns, dentures or bridges, can be attached to the dental implant.<\/p>\n
