Single Dental Implants Essex

Losing a tooth can impact everything from the way you eat and talk to the confidence of your smile – but these changes don’t have to last forever. Single tooth dental implants are considered one of the most effective solutions to a missing tooth, which not only bridge the gap in your smile but present an authentic look that mimics your natural teeth.

Functioning just like a normal tooth, a single dental implant is fixed atop a screw which is set into the jawbone, making it long lasting and effective solution to a missing tooth. Keep reading to find out how the process works and whether you could be eligible for implant treatment at our clinic in Essex.

Not every patient is eligible or suitable for dental implants, as there are certain requirements to ensure that the treatment is a success. Patients who undergo this treatment need to have healthy gums and plenty of jawbones to fix and hold the fixture in place. They also need to have a good oral hygiene routine and visit the dentist regularly to ensure the longevity of their implant.

This is because, for the most part, once a dental implant has been fixed in place it can stay there for upwards of ten years. Other benefits of a dental implant include stability, restoration in the strength of your teeth and jawline, and of course, the natural aesthetic which makes a dental implant one of the most popular solutions for missing teeth.

For those who are not eligible for a single dental implant, one of the best alternative solutions is a dental bridge which joins an artificial tooth to the neighbouring tooth to hold it in place. For those unable to access or afford a dental implant, dental bridges are worth exploring with the support of your dentist or a dental consultant.

Patients are advised to bear in mind the treatment time. Dental implants are not an overnight fix, with the fixture requiring up to two months of recovery time before the implant can be fitted.
