Missing Teeth? Restore Your Smile with Confidence
Missing teeth can impact more than just your smile. They can affect your ability to chew comfortably, speak clearly, and even your self-confidence. Luckily, modern dentistry offers a variety of options to replace missing teeth and restore your oral health and function.
At Swindon Dental & Implant Clinic, we understand that not one approach is suitable for all patients. That’s why, we work with you to understand your concerns, preferences and budget to plan the most appropriate treatment solution personalised to you. Below, we have reviewed some popular tooth replacement options to consider:
Dentures/ False Teeth
Dentures are removable appliances worn to replace one or many missing teeth. They are a cost effective solution for many patients but occasionally they can feel uncomfortable due to the fullness on the palate. Dentures can be very aesthetic as shown here but many patients prefer to consider a fixed alternative whenever possible.
A Dental Bridge
A bridge is made by using the teeth either side for support. They offer a fixed solution to missing teeth as they do not need removing at night. However, you are limited to the number of teeth you can replace on a single bridge. As shown here, bridges can offer a fantastic result in the right cases and can offer a minimally invasive option for tooth replacement.
A Dental Implant
A dental implant is a fixed solution that replaces the root of a missing tooth. Unlike dentures or bridges, which can be uncomfortable for some patients and require removal for cleaning, implants are placed in your jaw and become a definitive part of your smile. This means no more slipping or clicking, and you can enjoy all your favourite foods with confidence.
