Replacing a missing tooth helps prevent surrounding teeth from shifting, protects your bite, and reduces the risk of jawbone loss. It also makes it easier to chew and speak properly, while improving the look of your smile and your overall confidence.
The main options for replacing missing teeth are dental implants, dental bridges, and dentures.
Implants replace the tooth root and support a crown, bridges use neighbouring teeth for support, and dentures are removable replacements for one or more missing teeth. The most suitable option depends on your oral health, the number of missing teeth, and your personal preferences.
One of our dentists will help you choose the best solution after a full assessment.
In some cases, yes. It may be possible to replace a tooth soon after it has been removed, depending on the health of the bone and surrounding gums. However, many patients need a short healing period before a permanent solution such as an implant or bridge can be placed. A temporary replacement can often be used in the meantime to restore appearance and function. We will advise on the safest and most suitable timing for your individual case.
