Options for Replacing Missing Teeth

Many people in the U.K are losing their teeth due to gum disease or dental decay. This article outlines the options you have to replace missing teeth.

If you have lost teeth, some or all, there are three options of replacing them. 1) Dental Implants 2) Dental Bridges 3) Cosmetic Dentures

Dental Implants Dental implants are usually the best way to replace teeth. Dental implants have a 90% success rate over 10 years. If you have sufficient dental jaw bone dental implants are a great way to replace teeth. Depending on how many teeth are missing you can have one dental implant that supports a dental crown. Two dental implants can support a dental bridge or you could have dental implant supported cosmetic dentures. Teeth implants take 3-6 months to complete.

Dental Bridge Dental bridges are very popular and are 90% successful over a10 year period. This is a simple procedure that can replace up to 4-5 teeth as long as the abutment teeth are of good health. Dental bridges usually take 2 weeks to complete.

Cosmetic Dentures Cosmetic dentures are a great way to replace from one to all your teeth. They are custom made for cosmetics and comfort. Cosmetic dentures are available in Acrylic and Chrome. Chrome is better for partial cosmetic dentures and Acrylic is better for complete cosmetic dentures. Cosmetic dentures usually take 2 weeks to complete.
