Missing Teeth

Missing teeth can not only be difficult to live with, but they can also cause further issues for the patient and detrimentally affect their oral health and wellbeing.

Such issues include realignment/misalignment of remaining healthy teeth as they move to fill the gap, food and debris getting trapped in the gap leading to tooth decay, a loss of bone density in the jaw, and changes to the facial structure.

On top of these oral health issues, missing teeth can leave patients feeling ashamed and self-conscious of their teeth and smile. It can also be much harder to eat with missing teeth – causing patients to stop eating some of their favourite foods – and affect the speech. That’s why we offer our patients such a wide and comprehensive range of replacement options. So, whether you’re missing just one missing tooth or a whole row, have been living with missing teeth for years or have just experienced tooth loss, we’re here to help. Bridges, dentures, and implants can all be used to replace teeth, and we’ll be able to take you through all these options in an initial consultation with us.
