Tooth loss is more common that you may think and it is very important that missing teeth are replaced to prevent the surrounding teeth shifting out of place and causing further dental issues. The two most common treatments to replace missing teeth are dental bridges and dental implants.
Dental implants are titanium ‘screws’ that are inserted into the jaw bone to support dental crowns which act as your teeth.
Dental bridges are false teeth (usually between 1-4 teeth on one bridge) held in place by the teeth surrounding the site of the missing teeth. A dental bridge is usually made of metal and plastic or porcelain to help resemble a natural tooth colour.

It is important to discuss your options with a dental professional who knows your medical history, as dental implants may not be suitable for some patients with poor overall health or conditions such as diabetes.
