Losing a tooth affects more than your appearance. A missing tooth causes neighbouring teeth to shift, alters your bite, accelerates bone loss in the jaw, and can make eating and speaking difficult. Replacing it promptly prevents these complications.
Tooth Replacement Options
The three main options are dental implants, dental bridges, and removable dentures. Each has different advantages depending on your situation, budget, and how many teeth need replacing.
Dental Implants
Implants are the gold standard for tooth replacement. A titanium post is surgically placed in the jawbone, where it fuses with the bone over 3–6 months. A custom crown is then attached, creating a replacement that looks, feels, and functions like a natural tooth. Implants prevent bone loss and last 20+ years with proper care.
Dental Bridges
A bridge uses adjacent teeth as anchors to support a false tooth (pontic) in the gap. It’s a good option when neighbouring teeth already need crowns, but it does require filing down healthy teeth. Bridges typically last 10–15 years.
Dentures
Modern partial and full dentures are more comfortable and natural-looking than ever. They’re the most affordable option but don’t prevent bone loss. Implant-supported dentures combine the stability of implants with the convenience of a removable prosthesis.
