Replacing Missing Teeth: Bridges, Dentures, and Implants
Missing teeth can affect chewing, speech, and confidence. Several replacement options are available.
Why replacement matters
A missing tooth can allow nearby teeth to drift, change the bite, and make chewing less efficient. Replacing it can help restore function and protect the surrounding teeth.
Compare the main options
A bridge attaches to neighboring teeth, a denture is removable, and an implant-supported tooth is anchored in the jaw. Each option has benefits, maintenance needs, and cost considerations.
Start with an examination
Your dentist will check gum health, bone support, bite, medical history, and the number of missing teeth before recommending a treatment plan.
