There are three ways to replace missing teeth depending upon the needs of the individual patient and the size, position of the spaces and the number of teeth missing.
Bridges can be used in many situations to provide a stable, aesthetic and long-lasting means of restoring missing teeth.
Their success is governed by the condition of the teeth that are to be used as supports. Generally, if the foundation of the bridge is sound they look very good for a long time.

Lets face it dentures have a bad press.
But a lot of the adult population have them -ranging from partial dentures replacing just a few teeth to complete dentures replacing all teeth.
Modern dentures have come a long way and with the right materials and design can be made to look very natural. Most wearers successfully adapt to wearing them after an initial “learning period”
Whether you have lost some of your teeth or all of them, you can immediately change the appearance of your smile for the better, as well as regain the ability to bite and chew properly, by getting fitted for dentures.

If bridges cannot be done and dentures are not something that is wanted then our patients often choose Dental Implants.
The implants are surgically placed into the jaw bone to act as supports for various types of restoration from crowns and bridges to anchors to stabilise certain types of denture. We believe that because success rates with implants are so much better when a specialist places them we feel you are better served having this type of treatment carried out in a specialist environment. We are able to put you in contact with a consultant specialist to provide you with implants if you so wish.
