Replacement Teeth

Missing teeth can be a really depressing . Not only do they affect your self-esteem and confidence, they can also make it harder to eat and speak properly. Want some positive news? You don’t have to keep those gaps in your smile! Here at S3 Dental we have a number of excellent options available for replacing your missing teeth and to get you smiling brightly again.

What is the most affordable way to replace missing teeth?

Dentures are undeniably the cheapest solution for replacing missing teeth. This affordability makes them a good choice for anyone on a budget who wants to replace missing teeth and improve their ability to chew but let's face it, the idea of dentures can feel a bit outdated. Its important to remember that dentures come with limitations. They may slip and slide whilst eating and the removal process for cleaning might not be ideal for everyone. If you crave the freedom to bite into a juicy apple or simply want a more natural-feeling solution, there are other options to explore that might be a better fit for your lifestyle.

What is the gold standard for replacing missing teeth?

Dental implants reign supreme in tooth replacement for a multitude of reasons. Unlike dentures that can slip and bridges that rely on neighboring teeth, implants function as a standalone solution. They mimic the natural root of a tooth, fusing with your jawbone for unparalleled stability. This not only feels more natural when biting and chewing, but it also prevents bone loss in the jaw. Plus, with proper care, implants are incredibly durable, potentially lasting a lifetime, making them a fantastic investment in your long-term oral health.

How much is a dental implant?

Dental implants start from £3000., although the upfront cost of dental implants might seem daunting, it's important to consider them an investment rather than an expense.

Here’s why -

1) Implants are built to last a lifetime with proper care. This translates to significant cost savings in the long run.

2) Implants function just like natural teeth, restoring your confidence when eating, speaking, and smiling.

3)They also prevent bone loss in the jaw, maintaining your facial structure and youthful appearance.

By choosing implants, you're investing not just in a beautiful smile, but also in improved oral health, long-term durability, and a confidence boost that's priceless.

Can you replace all of your teeth with dental implants?

For anyone missing a full arch of teeth, the all-on-four implant solution offers a revolutionary approach. Unlike traditional implants that require an implant for each missing tooth, all-on-four utilises just four strategically placed implants to support a fixed denture. This innovative technique boasts numerous advantages. First, it minimizes surgical intervention and potentially avoids bone grafting procedures. Second, in many cases, a temporary denture can be attached the same day as implant surgery, allowing you to smile with confidence almost immediately. Most importantly, all-on-four implants provide exceptional stability and function, mimicking natural teeth for a comfortable and natural-looking smile that restores your ability to enjoy your favourite foods without worry.
