Even heroes amongst us can be afraid of the dentist, either as a result of a traumatic experience as a child or simply by using your imagination. Nevertheless, the horror of visiting the dentist has stayed with you. Same Day Teeth Suite can banish your demons once and for all and replace your missing teeth painlessly.
You may be missing one, or more teeth and be missing out on so much in life. If you are missing a tooth, you can lose your confidence, even amongst family members, and decline to participate in so many activities, hiding away. You want your teeth replaced, but you don’t think you are brave enough. If you are missing teeth, you may be feeling totally depressed. Eating may be awkward, with food getting lodged between your remaining teeth as they shift position, increasing the risk of decay and gum disease. And to cap it all, you think you need a facelift, as your muscles slacken around your mouth, making you feel old before your time. Not only are you afraid of the dentist, but you are also afraid you may end up with dentures like your grandmother’s; the butt of so many old jokes.
Fear not, everything changes and help is at hand. Modern advancements in dentistry and sedation make a visit to the dentist to replace missing teeth a painless experience. Something to be welcomed, not avoided. Dental surgeries are no longer clinical and hostile but exude the peaceful atmosphere more akin to a spa than somewhere medical. And, once you have taken the first brave step through the door, advanced sedation techniques allow you to relax totally in safe hands and remain totally in control. And, just as dentistry sedation has improved beyond recognition, so have the options for replacing missing teeth.
Depending on how many teeth you are missing, the condition and health of your mouth and remaining teeth, you may choose between dentures, bridges or dental implants. Modern false teeth, or crowns, are all individually crafted to look as natural as possible, simulating real teeth and restoring your smile.
If you are considering replacing missing teeth, your treatment options include:
- Dentures (also called false teeth) – A frame of metal or plastic individually fitted to your mouth with simulated teeth attached.
- Bridges – Simulated teeth that are fixed to the adjacent remaining natural teeth.
- Dental implants – Titanium poles that are surgically fitted in the jaw to simulate the root of the tooth to which dentures, crowns or bridges are securely attached.
Every patient is different and has a different set of needs. Why not book a consultation at Same Day Teeth to see which option is most suitable for you. We offer a FREE consultation where you can discuss your fears and options at length with one of our experienced dentists.
