What To Do If You Have a Missing Tooth

Tuesday, November 22nd, 2016

Missing ToothAt City Dental Leeds, we always encourage the replacement of missing teeth. If you have gaps in your smile, we can help. We have a range of impressive treatment options and we are confident that we can find the perfect solution for you.

Problems caused by missing teeth

If you have missing teeth, you may automatically think about the aesthetic impact. However, there are other implications. Gaps don’t just affect the look of your smile and your confidence. They can also increase the risk of dental infections and cause the remaining teeth to slip out of position. If you have missing teeth, you may also notice that your face looks different. This is because the teeth support your lips and cheeks.

Our treatments

Replacing missing teeth can boost your confidence and enable you to eat and speak normally. It also helps to improve your oral health. Whatever your dental needs, we can find a solution. We have options available for individual gaps and multiple missing teeth. When you come in for a consultation, our dentists will go through the options with you and discuss your treatment aims and preferences to find the best fit. Our treatment options include:

Dentures: dentures have been used to replace missing teeth for decades. They are a reliable, affordable option for people with a few gaps or entire arches of missing teeth. Dentures are customised for comfort and they provide natural-looking aesthetics. We offer partial and complete dentures in addition to stabilised dentures, which are secured using mini dental implants.

Dental bridges: bridges are a popular option for single missing teeth. A bridge usually comprises a false tooth, which is supported by a crown on each side. Bridges are often made from porcelain, which ensures that the false tooth matches the surrounding natural teeth perfectly. Designing and fitting a bridge usually involves two sessions, two weeks apart. A bridge should last for up to 15 years.

Dental implants: dental implants are a long-term solution for tooth loss. They are made from titanium and the aim of treatment is to replace the tooth root. The implant integrates into the jawbone and it can then be attached to a crown, bridge or denture. With implants, you can enjoy the same standard of functionality as with healthy natural teeth. The aesthetics are also incredibly lifelike, so you’ll have a beautiful smile to show off.

What Happens When You Replace Missing Teeth

Tuesday, July 28th, 2015

2433646_sMissing teeth can be troublesome for a number of reasons and we strongly recommend considering tooth replacement treatment if you have gaps in your smile. We offer a range of options and will be happy to discuss potential solutions during your consultation. Here are just some of the reasons you should think about replacing missing teeth:

Better oral health

Losing teeth can have a negative impact on your oral health because sockets tend to attract bacteria and the remaining teeth can be harder to clean. By replacing missing teeth, you can enjoy healthier teeth and gums.

Improved speech

Your teeth play an essential role in the formation of words and sounds and losing teeth can affect the clarity of your speech and your ability to pronounce certain sounds. Investing in tooth replacement treatment can help to improve the quality of your speech, which will also have benefits for your confidence, especially in settings where you are required to speak in public or meet people face to face.

Improved aesthetics

Missing teeth impact the look of the smile. Studies show that people who have missing teeth are considered to be less attractive than those with a full set of healthy teeth. If you’re unhappy with the look of your smile, this can also have a negative effect on confidence, as you may feel self-conscious when your smile is on show and you may feel less attractive. Replacing lost teeth with natural-looking prostheses can really make a difference to the way you look and feel.

Improved facial aesthetics

Your teeth act as supports for your lips and cheeks and if you lose a significant number of teeth, this can cause the cheeks to sag and this makes your face look older. Tooth replacement not only gives you a stunning smile, it also rejuvenates your facial aesthetic, helping you to look and feel younger.
