Sports star Shaun Harrad, recently signed to Northampton Football Club, had to have dental implants fitted following an incident on his honeymoon last year.
The footballer was enjoying his post-wedding break in August 2010 when he slipped on some rocks at a beach and lost two of his teeth.
Harrad ended up having dental implants to replacethe two teeth and said that the treatments went well.
"It was an unlucky accident but it's all behind me now," he said.
Talking about his recent signing to Northampton, he said that the club is one which he feels fits in with his own sporting ambitions.
He said he is "confident" about scoring goals at this level.
Cosmetic Dentistry Guide explains that dental implants are used for replacing teeth and helping to hold dentures in place.
It noted that dental implants are important for both aesthetic and functional purposes after the loss of a tooth.
