When might dentures or bridges help?
Missing teeth can affect chewing, speech, smile appearance and the way nearby teeth meet. Your dentist can assess your mouth and explain whether dentures, bridges or another option may suit your situation.
Chewing difficulty
Replacing missing teeth may help improve comfort when eating and may reduce extra pressure on remaining teeth.
Smile and speech support
Tooth replacement options may support smile appearance, lip support and speech, depending on the number and position of missing teeth.
Dentures
Dentures are removable appliances designed to replace missing teeth. They may be used when a patient is missing some teeth or all teeth in the upper or lower jaw.
Dentures can be a practical option for many patients, especially where several teeth are missing or where a removable solution is preferred.
✓Partial dentures for some missing teeth
✓Full dentures for a full arch of missing teeth
✓Designed to support chewing and smile appearance
✓Existing denture concerns can also be assessed
Dental bridges
A dental bridge is a fixed option that may replace one or more missing teeth by using nearby teeth for support. It is not removable like a denture.
Bridges are not suitable for every case. Your dentist will assess the health and strength of nearby teeth before discussing whether a bridge is appropriate.
