What can you do to replace missing teeth
We founded Dorset Dental Implants to provide the community with access to reliable, experienced and personable dental implant experts, and meet the growing demands for implants and alternative cosmetic and general dentistry treatments.
If you have a missing tooth or missing teeth, we know this can affect not only the functioning of your mouth but also your confidence and self-esteem.
We are here to provide you with the most effective and cost-efficient solutions to leave you feeling happy and confident about your smile again.
There are multiple procedures and treatment options available to deal with missing teeth.
Some of the treatments we offer are:
Dentures
- Dentures are the missing teeth treatment which has been around the longest
- Often the most affordable way of replacing missing teeth
- Provides the appearance of a full set of healthy teeth
- Dentures are removable so some patients find this annoying in terms of eating
Dental bridges
- This option can be used when one or more teeth are missing – but requires healthy teeth to be used as abutments
- Moderately priced
- Patients’ teeth function normally
- Sometimes patients note initial discomfort but usually, this reduces and disappears quickly
Dental crowns
- Crowns, also known as ‘caps’, offer a solution for rebuilding broken or weakened teeth
- Used to treat decaying teeth – a dental crown fits over the remaining part of the tooth to give it strength
- Can reshape and recolour unattractive or discoloured teeth
- Porcelain or ceramic crowns can be matched to the natural colour of your teeth, however other common materials include gold and metal alloys and acrylic
Dental implants
- Arguably the most effective(but also the most expensive) solution
- Allows teeth to function healthily just like normal teeth
- Allows for the appearance of healthy, attractive teeth
- Made from titanium so highly durable
All-on-4
- Allow for the recovery of your smile in just one day
- The entire set of teeth missing in a jaw are replaced with artificial ones, supported by just four
implants
- If well cared for, all-on-4 implants can last a lifetime
- As we often make huge improvements in your bite, appearance and function, it can cause a transient phase of adaptability
