Dental implants Sheffield for replacing missing teeth
Dental phobia is a significant issue here in the UK, so if you are scared of the dentist don’t worry, you are not alone. However, it is important to understand that there are severe consequences of avoiding the dentist. Most of us know that it is recommended that you visit your dentist at least once every six months and more often if you have dental health issues. If you avoid the dentist then plaque and tartar can build up on your teeth and cause all types of problems. The longer you avoid the dentist the more complicated these problems become. It is a vicious circle. The more complicated the problems, the more extensive the treatment, the longer you will have to sit in the dentist’s chair and the more money you will have to spend. If you visit the dentist at regular intervals then any problems can be detected very early on and treated quickly and easily without any long-lasting effects. If you continue to avoid the dentist then eventually you will develop tooth decay, gum disease and periodontal disease and within a few years you can lose your teeth.

Dental implants
Dental implants Sheffield are small titanium screws that can be inserted directly into your jaw. Dental implants Sheffield are medical grade and biocompatible, which means that your body accepts the implant and it becomes a permanent part of your mouth. The implant replaces the root/s of your missing tooth. It takes approximately six months for the implant to become fixed into your mouth and then it can be fitted with a crown or a set of dentures to replace your missing teeth. If you have one missing tooth then you will need a single implant to replace that tooth, whilst if you have multiple missing teeth you may need a few more. If you have to replace all of your teeth then this can be done with approximately four implants per arch which means you can replace all of your teeth with 8 dental implants.
