Missing teeth can be a real problem, but thankfully there are some amazing tooth replacement treatments on offer at Dublin18 Dental Care. Christmas is a time for celebrating, spending time with loved ones and indulging in delicious food, but if you’re missing teeth, the festive season may not be so appealing, especially if you are worried about your appearance and dreading having to politely decline your favourite festive foods.

Replacing missing teeth

It’s always a good idea to replace missing teeth; gaps in your smile affect your appearance and also your confidence, they make it difficult to eat, they impair your speech and they can also increase your risk of decay and gum disease. Replacing missing teeth helps to restore full function to your mouth, as well as giving you a beautiful, healthy looking smile.

Dental implants

Dental implants are becoming increasingly popular every year. Implants are small screw-like devices, which are used to replace the root section of the missing tooth; implants are fixed into sockets in the jaw bone and once the implant is in place and it has integrated into the bone, it can be attached to a dental bridge, a denture or a single crown. Implants last for many years and once the restoration has been attached, it will look exactly like a natural tooth.

With Christmas just around the corner and the thought of turkey, Christmas pudding and Yule log lingering, now is the perfect time to think about replacing your missing teeth. Not only will you be able to start the New Year with a new look and bags of confidence, but you’ll also be able to enjoy and savour a festive feast!
