Tooth Replacement
Dental implants are the best option for replacing missing teeth, providing both strength and a
natural appearance.
Dental implants represent a ground-breaking advancement in oral healthcare, serving as an ideal remedy for damaged or missing teeth. With durable and enduring dental implants, you can enjoy your favourite foods without any worries about your teeth.
Unlike dentures and bridges, dental implants eliminate the drawbacks associated with these options. They closely mimic the appearance and functionality of natural teeth, allowing you to resume your normal life. The success rate of tooth implant surgery is approximately 98%, and with proper oral hygiene, they can last for up to 25 years. Undoubtedly, this approach offers a long-term solution for improved oral health.
Which tooth replacement choice is suitable for your needs?
Dentists employ varying procedures for addressing a single missing tooth versus multiple missing teeth. The appropriate option for you depends on your specific situation.

Single Tooth Implant
The process of dental implantation for replacing a single tooth is quite simple. A dental implant is surgically placed in the gap where the missing tooth used to be, without affecting the adjacent teeth. This sets dental implant procedures apart from bridge placements. Typically, the removal of a damaged tooth, if present, and the implant placement can be completed in a single appointment.

Multiple Tooth Implants
Dental implants are a widely chosen option for replacing multiple missing teeth. Unlike bridges, which can impact the health of neighbouring teeth, dental implants provide a suitable alternative.
It’s not always necessary to have one implant for every missing tooth. In certain cases, a single implant can support two replacement teeth. The process for placing multiple tooth implants is akin to the previous one, but if three or four teeth are missing, two implants can cover those missing.

Immediate Tooth Replacement
When a tooth is beyond repair and needs extraction, rest assured that you don’t have to go without teeth during your day.
Through careful planning, the tooth can be gently removed, and a replacement can be prepared for immediate placement on the same day. This replacement could be a denture, bridge, or even an implant with a same-day crown.
At Affordable Dentists, we provide a comprehensive range of options for immediate tooth replacement.

What are your options for replacing a single tooth?
The options for replacing a single tooth include dental implants, bridges, and removable partial dentures.
Dental Implant
Single tooth implants are preferred over other methods due to their advantages. In this procedure, a titanium screw is implanted into the jawbone, serving as the artificial tooth’s root. The replacement tooth is then attached on top of this screw. Unlike the other methods, this approach does not rely on neighbouring teeth, preserving their structural integrity. Like a natural tooth, a single dental implant operates independently. The crown is securely fastened to the implant, ensuring stability without any movement.

Bridges
Bridges consist of a false tooth held in place by crowns on adjacent teeth. This process requires the dentist to make small drillings into the adjacent teeth on both sides of the gap. Installing a bridge essentially involves connecting two or three teeth together.

Removable Partial Denture
Removable partial dentures are removable appliances that replace the missing tooth and are
attached to the remaining teeth with metal clasps or precision attachments. Full dentures replace all teeth, while partial dentures replace a specific number of teeth as needed. However, dentures can be uncomfortable and may shift while talking or eating, leading to potential embarrassment for the wearer. The most suitable option depends on factors such as oral health, budget, and personal preference, and it is best to consult with a dentist to determine the most appropriate choice.
