Losing a tooth leaves a lasting impression on a person's overall dental health and self esteem. Accidents are one of the biggest causes of sudden tooth loss among adults living in the United Kingdom. Traffic accidents or sporting injuries are never planned for and can cause a variety of injuries on a person’s body, when the mouth is hit with any impact this can cause injury to the teeth and can lead to someone to lose a tooth or several teeth depending on the force and point of an impact. Often, when someone has suffered from tooth loss they may start to investigate the ways that are available in the UK dental marketplace, this may lead them to look at bridges to replace a small number of lost teeth or dentures in cases where someone has experienced extreme tooth loss. However, neither solution offers a permanent solution to tooth loss and both come with their own challenges.

For this reason, dental implants Herefordshire may be the solution that many patients have been looking for when seeking to address their personal tooth experience, as they are tough enough to cope with the rigours of daily use and will last a patient a lifetime if cared for correctly.

For those who are looking to replace missing teeth, dental implants represent a solution that is fixed in place that can be used just like natural teeth shortly after the treatment process is completed, giving the patient a sense of freedom when it comes to the food they wish to enjoy.
