Dentures

Dentures – also known as “false teeth” – have been used as a solution to missing teeth for hundreds of years.

They are convenient because they’re easy to take out and pop back in again.

And they’re a cost-effective treatment.

Some users experience discomfort and they may not fit as well as some other missing teeth treatment options.

Dental bridges

A crown caps a tooth that has been damaged – and looks, as well as feels, like a healthy, normal tooth.

This treatment is more cost-effective than dental implants.

Dental implants

Implants are often described as the ultimate solution for missing teeth.

They’re likely to last longer than a dental bridges and are the solution that most closely mimics the function and feel of natural teeth.

Unlike dental bridges, dental implants do not rely on the teeth either side, which helps to preserve your natural teeth.
