Missing teeth are common, especially because of age or trauma. Modern dentistry offers a range of options to replace missing teeth, restoring the look and function of your mouth.

What are missing teeth?

Tooth decay, injury and gum disease are common causes of a missing tooth. Some people are born with teeth missing or have a genetic disposition, causing teeth not to develop in the first place. They may have a baby tooth with no adult tooth underneath. The most common teeth to be missing are wisdom teeth either because they never emerged or were extracted.

How do you replace a lost tooth?

It is important to replace a lost tooth for a functional bite, proper chewing of food, to prevent bone loss, stop teeth from shifting and for an attractive smile.

Teeth can be replaced by placing a dental implant, removable partial dentures, or a bridge.

What are the benefits of replacing teeth that are missing?

• Replacing a missing tooth is the best way to protect any underlying structures, including your gums and bone.
• Improved functionality of your bite and your facial structure.
• Improved self-confidence.
• A beautiful smile.
