What are my options for replacing missing teeth?

Losing a tooth can significantly impact your smile and oral function. Western Dental Care offers a variety of reliable solutions to replace missing teeth such as dental implants, bridges and dentures. 

Dental Implants

Dental implants are often considered the gold standard for tooth replacement. They involve the surgical placement of a titanium post into the jawbone, which acts as a replacement tooth root. An artificial tooth or set of teeth are then attached to the implanted post or posts. Implants mimic the look and function of natural teeth, and they offer excellent stability. 

Dental Bridges 

Dental bridges are another effective option when one or more adjacent teeth are missing. A bridge comprises one or more artificial teeth anchored by crowns fitted onto the natural teeth or implants on either side of the gap. 

Dentures and Partials 

Dentures can be used for partial or complete mouth tooth replacement. They consist of artificial teeth attached to a gum-coloured base. Complete dentures replace all teeth in the upper or lower jaw, while partial dentures fill the spaces left by several missing teeth.
