Teeth replacement is a sure way of restoring proper functioning of the mouth and facial aesthetics. Among adults, missing a tooth or more is a key health concern that further affects one’s oral functionality and confidence if left unaddressed.

What causes tooth loss?

Tooth loss is often caused by dental diseases or an injury that impacts the facial area. Medically; advanced tooth decay and periodontal disease can lead to tooth loss in the event one fails to receive treatment on time.

Negative impacts of missing teeth

Failing to replace a missing tooth, could leave you at risk of developing additional, more costly problems that may interfere with your everyday life. Key negative effects of missing teeth include:

• Puts the alignment of your other teeth at risk and can cause other problems over time if not replaced
• Failure to have clarity of speech
• Problems with biting and chewing correctly
• Gives room for the shifting of remaining teeth into the empty spaces
• Lowers the integrity of the jawbone
• Lowers one’s self-esteem which in turn can hurt the social and productive aspects of life

Teeth replacement options for missing teeth

None of us purposely does anything to lose teeth. Do you? Losing a permanent tooth thus should not be the end of the road for you. We have a number of teeth replacement options as explained below

1. Teeth replacement with dental implants

Dental implants are reliable and give the feel and look of a natural tooth. They are more permanent and can last a lifetime if well taken care of.

2. Teeth replacement with dental bridges

Dental bridges are another permanent way of replacing missing teeth. As the name suggests, they are artificial (false teeth) used to bridge the gap where the missing tooth is. You need healthy teeth on either side of the missing ones to have a dental bridge. Depending on the case at hand, our specialists may recommend an implant-supported bridge or a tooth-supported bridge.

3. Teeth replacement with dentures

Dentures are a removable teeth replacement option that can suit one who is missing one, a number of teeth, or all the teeth on either jaw. They are comparatively less costly than dental bridges and implants.
