What are my options to replace a missing tooth?

There are several options available to replace a missing tooth. Depending on your individual situation, one of the following treatments may be recommended: • Dental bridge: A dental bridge is a false tooth that is held in place by two crowns on either side of the gap. • Dental implants: A dental implant is a metal post that is surgically implanted into the jawbone and topped with a false tooth. • Partial denture: A partial denture is a removable false tooth that clips onto existing teeth. • Full dentures: A full denture is a removable false tooth that replaces all of the teeth in one jaw. These treatments can help restore your smile and give you back the confidence you may have lost due to missing teeth. Your dentist will be able to advise which treatment is best for your needs. The cost and duration of treatment will vary depending on the type chosen.
