There are many different ways that teeth can be replaced these days, and therefore there is an increasing number of options for patients:
- Bridges & Crowns
- Dentures
- Dental Implants
- Implant Retained Dentures
Not all treatments will suit everybody, and therefore most decisions will need a discussion with personal situation in mind. Below are some brief descriptions of each to help you decide.
Dentures
Dentures are removable teeth. These can be used to replace single teeth as well as many teeth.
Dentures can be made of Acrylic or Metal or we also make ‘Flexi-dentures’ now.
Bridges
Until dental implants came along dental bridges were the top treatment for the replacement of single teeth or a number of teeth. Bridges require some sound teeth to attach to – usually either side of a gap.
Dental Implants
Titanium implants are now used to replace missing teeth. A minor surgical procedure is undertaken to gently screw a titanium implant into the bone where a tooth is missing. For further information click here.
