Missing teeth: implants, bridges and dentures
When a tooth is missing there are three options: an implant, a bridge resting on the neighbouring teeth, or a removable denture. Which one suits you depends on the bone, on the teeth next to the gap and on what you expect.
It's best not to wait too long: when a tooth is missing, the ones next to it tend to lean into the empty space.
What we do
- Implants: a titanium screw in the bone that acts as a root, with a crown on top.
- Bridges: a crown resting on the two neighbouring teeth.
- Removable dentures: partial (with a metal frame) or full.
- Crowns and rebuilds on damaged teeth.
How it works
- A visit and, usually, an X-ray.
- We show you every possible option, each with its cost and timing.
- You think it over calmly and call us when you've decided.
- Treatment, and check-ups over time.
