Missing teeth

Options for replacing missing teeth

A missing tooth may affect chewing, speech, neighbouring tooth position and how forces are distributed. There is no single option that suits everyone.

Options

What may be considered

Dental implant

May support a crown, bridge or denture after assessing bone, gums and general health.

Dental bridge

Uses support from neighbouring teeth or implants, depending on the plan.

Denture

May replace several teeth or an arch and can be removable or receive additional support.

Monitoring

In some situations, postponing or having no intervention may be discussed with the consequences understood.

Assessment

The decision is not based only on the empty space

  • health of neighbouring teeth and gums;
  • bone quantity and shape;
  • bite and available space;
  • medical history and medication;
  • daily care, maintenance and your preferences.

Comparison

Useful questions for every option

  • Which structure provides support?
  • Which preparatory care is needed?
  • What are the stages and indicative timing?
  • How is it cleaned and maintained?
  • Which initial and maintenance costs may arise?

Medical note

A diagnosis requires a clinical assessment

The dentist determines diagnosis, suitability and an individual recommendation after a consultation and, when needed, diagnostic tests.
