At Manor Lodge Dental Practice, we know how hard it can be to live with a missing tooth or teeth, and always recommend replacing them wherever possible.
Why should I replace my missing tooth?
Even if your missing tooth doesn’t have too much of an impact or effect on you, we would still always recommend replacing a tooth or teeth wherever possible. This is because missing teeth can have a detrimental effect on the overall oral health of a patient, leading to many more oral health issues including:
- Teeth moving and becoming misaligned in order to fill the space left by a tooth or teeth
- Food and debris get trapped in the space, leading to tooth decay of the adjacent teeth
- A loss of bone in the jaw
- Changes to the facial structure, leading to premature signs of ageing
Missing teeth can also cause difficulties eating and speaking, and can leave patients feeling self-conscious about their teeth and smile.
How can I replace my missing tooth?
We offer a wide range of replacement options when it comes to missing teeth. These include partial and full dentures , bridges, cosmetic dentures , and a variety of implants.Your treatment journey for replacing a missing tooth will always start with a consultation here with us at Manor Lodge Dental Practice. During this time, we’ll be able to chat about your oral health and overall health history, as well as your smile ambitions and lifestyle. In this way, you’ll be able to make a decision that you feel happy, comfortable, and confident about.
