Replacing Missing Teeth

Understanding Your Dental Implant Options

Dental implants are designed to support replacement teeth. The most appropriate solution depends on how many teeth are missing, your oral health and the findings of a clinical assessment.

Implant-Retained Dentures

Implants can help improve the retention of certain removable dentures in suitable cases.

Multiple Tooth Replacement

Implants may support a bridge to replace several missing teeth, depending on your clinical needs.

Single Tooth Implants

An implant-supported crown can replace an individual missing tooth without relying on adjacent teeth for support.

Long-Term Maintenance

Regular dental reviews and effective daily cleaning are important for maintaining implants and surrounding tissues.

Individual Treatment Planning

Your dentist will assess your teeth, gums and available bone before discussing suitable treatment options.

Fixed Tooth Replacement

Implant-supported restorations offer a fixed alternative to some removable tooth replacement options.

What To Expect

What Happens During Dental Implant Treatment?

Implant treatment begins with a detailed assessment of your oral health, including your gums and the bone available to support an implant. Your dentist will explain the findings, discuss suitable options and outline the proposed treatment plan.

If you proceed, the implant is placed into the jawbone. A healing period is usually needed before the final replacement tooth is fitted, although the sequence and timing vary between patients.
