Dentures have been around for as long as we can remember, being the go-to solution for tooth loss for decades. However, in 2021 there are a wider range of options available to those who have suffered from gum disease than ever before – leaving much to be desired when it comes to the once favoured denture.
If you’ve been suffering from severe gum disease and tooth loss for some time, then the idea of dental implants abroad may sound like a dream come true. Affordable, accessible and often promised to be completed in just one sitting – it’s no wonder why so many people opt for this line of treatment.
There’s no denying that the impact of our smile in a day dental implants can be life changing for those who have been long-standing sufferers of gum disease. No more embarrassing, loosely fitted dentures or shame around showing off your smile – it can give you the confidence and self-esteem you’ve been going without for so long.
Tooth loss is not uncommon – in fact, it affects over 30% of the UK population. However, regardless of how commonplace tooth loss is, for those suffering it can often feel as though nobody else in the world understands.
