Options for Replacing a Missing Tooth

For some people, losing a tooth may feel like the end of the world. As well as having an impact on your appearance, a missing tooth can impact your ability to chew effectively and eat comfortably. Fortunately, there are several options for replacing a missing tooth or boosting your smile back to its original functionality.

At the Dental Sanctuary, we want to reassure you that there will always be options and solutions available to improve your smile. Regardless of how you lost your tooth and what tooth you lost, our team would love to work with you to determine the best steps moving forward.

Dental implants

Dental implants are one of the most common solutions for replacing a missing tooth. Dental implants are surgically placed in your jawbone, where they become established as the roots of missing teeth. An artificial crown can then be added on top by your Neutral Bay dental clinic.

At the Dental Sanctuary, we are proud to offer All on 4 dental implants. All on 4 dental implants are a modern and easy way to fill gaps in your smile. Using advanced technology and materials, All on 4 dental implants can fix your smile and fill the gaps where one or multiple teeth used to be.

All on 4 dental implants can usually be installed in one surgery. The replacement teeth can be added by your dentist at the same time. On the flip side, traditional implants could have you waiting weeks or months between surgeries before they are finally installed.

The process for installing dental implants is safe when completed by a trusted North Sydney dentist.

Bridges

Bridges are another possible solution for replacing missing teeth. A dental bridge is essentially an artificial tooth that is held in place by the abutment teeth on either side of your gap. They are useful if the gap between your teeth is narrow. Bridges are permanently attached to teeth, which makes them a little different to dentures that can be removed.

Dentures

Dentures are a traditional method for replacing missing teeth, and may be an option at your dental clinic. Dentures are artificial teeth and gums that are customised to your mouth and created by your dentist to replace lost or removed natural teeth. Most dentures are removable.

Everybody’s situation and circumstances are different. If you are looking to replace missing teeth, your dentist will need to assess your situation and provide a solution that best suits your needs. Cost and budget could also be a factor in the decision-making process, as well as the timeframe you would like to have your teeth replaced by.
