Here in Liskeard,\nour dental practice\nregularly carries out dental\nimplant treatment. We love how it can transform your smile, not only\nbecause it restores aesthetics and function to your teeth, but because it can\nalso help support the facial structures and give you a more youthful\nappearance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many of our patients come to our dental practice with one question \u2013 which type of dental implant do I need? In this post, we\u2019ll break down three scenarios which might affect what you\u2019ll be offered. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. One tooth missing<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s actually more common than you might think to have a missing tooth. There are lots of reasons behind this \u2013 from having an accident, to simple old age \u2013 but whatever the situation, dental implants can \u2018fill the gap\u2019 and give you a durable tooth that looks and works like your natural ones. Even if you have one missing teeth in several locations, a single dental implant will work perfectly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Several teeth missing<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Depending on where they are, you have a few options. For instance, a dental bridge, supported by dental implants at either end, could replace several teeth in a row. Or, you could have an implant-retained denture for a missing set. These can help prevent future bone loss and are a more stable alternative to dentures, which can wobble or fall out. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. All teeth missing<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Using a series of dental implants placed around the mouth, an entire bottom and top set of teeth can be fastened in place. Again, it\u2019s a more stable option for those who would traditionally wear dentures (although it should be noted that it doesn\u2019t always prevent movement altogether). <\/p>\n\n\n\n
