Tooth Replacement Services

Implants

Implants are generally regarded as the option of choice for replacing a missing tooth. Once the tooth is removed the dentist will place a titanium screw into the socket which attaches the dental implant. After a period, generally 3 months, the dentist will test to see if your body has accepted and bonded with the implant. After the implant has fully taken, the final crown will be placed.

Bridges

There are different types of dental bridges available to replace missing teeth, depending on your needs and the condition of surrounding teeth.

Maryland Bridge

This option replaces a missing tooth with a custom-made porcelain tooth supported by a thin porcelain wing. The wing is bonded to the back of neighbouring teeth, providing a conservative solution.

Advantages:

  • Requires minimal preparation of adjacent teeth
  • Fixed in place and does not need remova
  • More affordable than many alternatives
  • Can usually be completed within a couple of weeks

Disadvantages:

  • Some tooth preparation is still required
  • Not suitable for areas exposed to heavy biting forces

Fixed Bridge

In this method, the teeth on either side of the gap are shaped to support crowns, with an artificial tooth placed between them to fill the space

Advantages:

  • Suitable for replacing one or more missing teeth
  • Quicker to complete compared to implants
  • Can provide added strength to neighbouring teeth when crowns are needed

Disadvantages:

  • Requires significant reshaping of adjacent teeth
  • Generally has a lower long-term success rate compared to implants

Dentures

Dentures are custom-made removable appliances designed to replace missing teeth. As they are tailored to each individual, costs can vary depending on the type and materials used. At Quality Dental Care, we offer partial dentures in materials such as cobalt-chrome, valplast, and acrylic, as well as full acrylic dentures.

While dentures can be an effective solution, they may take time to adjust to and are not always the preferred option for every patient.
