If you have missing teeth, we have a number of effective solutions on offer. Whether you have a single missing tooth or you’re looking for a natural-looking replacement for a whole arch of lost teeth, we will help to restore your smile and build your confidence.
Our tooth replacement treatments
We always advise patients to consider treatment to fill gaps in the smile and we offer a range of modern treatment options including dental bridges, dentures and dental implants. Bridges and implants are popular solutions for single missing teeth, while dentures and implants are a good option for multiple missing teeth.
Dental bridges
Dental bridges are a simple, effective and affordable solution for missing teeth. They are generally used to replace a single missing tooth and treatment usually involves 2 sessions around 2-3 weeks apart. Bridges are custom-made for each patient and they can be made from metal or ceramic materials. The most common type of dental bridge, a traditional fixed bridge, is made from a false tooth with a crown on each side to support it. The aim of the bridge is to seamlessly replace the missing tooth. Bridges are not permanent, but they should last for 10-15 years.
Dental implants
Dental implants are the newest solution on the market and they represent a viable option for patients of all ages with different dental needs. Implants are designed to replace the tooth root and they are compatible with dentures, bridges and crowns, so they can be used to replace any number of teeth. Implant treatment takes much longer than other treatments, however this system is designed to last a lifetime and it also offers many benefits, so treatment is well worth the wait. Implants are secured into sockets in the jaw bone and once they have integrated into the bone tissue, they are then ready to be connected to the new restoration. With implants, you can enjoy the same degree of stability and functionality as a healthy natural tooth.
Dentures
Dentures are a very popular choice for patients who have multiple missing teeth or full arches of lost teeth.They are sets of prosthetic teeth held in place by the natural suction of the gums. With dentures, you can eat and speak as you would with natural teeth and you can also enjoy a beautiful smile. Dentures are custom-made for comfort and modern dentures are aesthetically pleasing.
