At Prestige Smiles Treeby, we offer advanced treatments, including dental implants, bridges, and dentures, to address these issues. Our personalised care helps restore proper function, support facial structure, and enhance your smile.

Candidate Eligibility for Teeth Replacement

    A strong jawbone is essential for supporting dental implants and supporting stability over time.

The Benefits of Replacing Missing Teeth

Replacing missing teeth goes beyond restoring appearance—it also improves function and oral health. These benefits are important, as they make it easier to chew and prevent other dental issues. Here are some key advantages of replacing missing teeth.
  1. Improved Chewing: Replacing missing teeth restores your ability to eat comfortably and enjoy a wider variety of foods that might have been difficult to eat before.
  2. Clearer Speech: Filling gaps in your teeth improves pronunciation, making it easier to speak clearly and confidently.
  3. Preserved Jawbone: Replacements like dental implants prevent bone loss by stimulating the jawbone, maintaining its strength and density.
  4. Enhanced Appearance: Restoring missing teeth enhances facial structure, preventing a sunken appearance and creating a more natural and confident smile.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Find answers to questions about tooth replacement options and services at Prestige Smiles Treeby to support your dental care choices.

Why do people lose teeth?

People lose teeth for several reasons, often due to factors that gradually affect oral health over time. Recognising these causes can help in understanding how to prevent tooth loss.

  • Poor Oral Hygiene:
    Failing to brush and floss regularly allows plaque to build up. Over time, this can cause gum disease and decay, which may weaken teeth significantly.
  • Gum Disease:
    Known medically as periodontal disease, gum disease often leads to tooth loss. It can damage the supporting tissues and bones around teeth, eventually causing them to loosen.
  • Severe Tooth Decay:
    When decay progresses deeply into the tooth, it can reach the pulp chamber, where nerves and blood vessels are located. Without proper treatment, this can result in significant damage, which may lead to the need for tooth removal.
  • Injury or Trauma:
    Accidents, sports-related injuries, or sudden trauma to the mouth can damage or dislodge teeth.
  • Medical Conditions:
    Conditions like diabetes and osteoporosis can weaken tissues and bones, increasing the risk of tooth loss. Diabetes, for example, affects the body’s ability to manage infections, often making gum disease more advanced.

By understanding these common causes, patients can take proactive steps to protect their teeth. These include regular dental checkups, proper oral hygiene practices, and using custom mouthguards to prevent injury or trauma.

Losing teeth affects more than just appearance; it can significantly impact overall oral health and daily function.

  • Bone Loss:
    When a tooth is missing, the jawbone in that area may resorb or shrink over time. This happens because there is no root to stimulate bone growth, leading to gradual bone loss.
  • Shifting Teeth:
    Nearby teeth may shift into the space left by a missing tooth. This shifting can affect tooth alignment and bite, causing discomfort and difficulty when chewing.
  • Gum Health:
    Gaps created by missing teeth can trap food particles, making it easier for bacteria to accumulate. This can increase the risk of gum disease and further tooth loss.
  • Speech Changes:
    Teeth play a crucial role in pronunciation. Missing teeth may alter speech, making certain sounds difficult to pronounce clearly.
  • Increased Wear on Remaining Teeth:
    When fewer teeth bear the load of chewing, they experience more wear and tear, increasing the risk of tooth fractures.

Losing teeth can have a profound impact on your oral health, which is why it is important to replace missing teeth. This not only restores appearance but also helps maintain oral health by preventing other oral health problems. Addressing tooth loss supports overall comfort, function, and a healthier mouth.

Several effective options are available for replacing missing teeth, each designed to restore function and appearance:

  1. Implants:
    Dental implants are a popular and durable tooth replacement option. A titanium post is inserted into the jawbone, providing a stable foundation for an artificial tooth. This replacement looks and functions like a natural tooth.
  2. Bridges:
    Dental bridges fill gaps by anchoring to neighbouring teeth. They consist of a false tooth supported by crowns placed on the adjacent teeth, providing stability and a natural look.
  3. Partial Dentures:
    Removable partial dentures are an option for those missing some but not all teeth. They consist of false teeth attached to a base that fits around natural teeth and gums, restoring both appearance and function.
  4. Full Dentures:
    Full dentures provide a complete replacement for people missing all their teeth. These are removable appliances that rest on the gums, offering support for chewing and speaking.

Each tooth replacement option offers specific benefits based on patient needs and the number of teeth missing. Prestige Smiles Treeby provides these dental services and can help you determine the most suitable option for your oral health.

Yes, replacing multiple teeth at once is possible with modern dental treatments. For patients missing several teeth, implants can anchor a bridge. This allows multiple replacements with fewer posts, delivering a natural look and long-term stability.

For patients who prefer a removable option, partial dentures provide an affordable way to replace multiple teeth. These appliances fit comfortably around remaining natural teeth and can be customised for a natural appearance. Prestige Smiles Treeby offers tailored dental treatments to help patients achieve complete and functional smiles. These services enhance both appearance and oral health.

The time required to replace teeth varies depending on the treatment option and each patient’s unique needs. Some treatments, such as dental implants, take longer to complete due to healing periods. Others, like bridges or dentures, are often completed within weeks. Below is an outline of each treatment’s general timeline.

  • Dental Implants:
    The process for dental implants can take several months. It begins with an initial consultation to assess suitability, which usually lasts about an hour. The implant placement surgery takes one to two hours. It’s followed by a healing period of several months for the implant to fuse with the jawbone. Once healed, the final crown is attached, and this appointment usually lasts an hour.
  • Dental Bridges:
    Replacing teeth with a bridge usually takes a few weeks. The initial consultation, preparation of nearby teeth, impression taking, and placement of a temporary bridge usually last about an hour or two. After a couple of weeks, a final appointment is scheduled to place and adjust the bridge, which usually takes an hour.
  • Partial and Complete Dentures:
    The process for dentures, whether partial or complete, typically spans a few weeks. An initial one-hour consultation allows for impression-taking and discussion of fit and comfort. A follow-up appointment, which usually lasts about an hour, helps finalise the denture’s fit. Additional adjustments may be scheduled as needed to support ease and functionality.

The timeline for each option depends on the patient’s needs and any preliminary treatments. At Prestige Smiles Treeby, we tailor each treatment to support your oral health goals with efficient, comfortable care.

Most tooth replacement procedures involve minimal discomfort. Dental implants, bridges, and dentures each involve distinct procedures. For dental implants and bridges, dentists use local anaesthesia to numb the area and manage pain effectively during the treatment. For denture treatments, patients may feel some pressure during certain steps, but this is usually mild and temporary.

After the procedure, mild soreness or swelling can be expected as the mouth heals. This is especially common with treatments like dental implants, which require a recovery period. Over-the-counter pain relief or prescribed medications can help manage these symptoms effectively. Dentists also provide aftercare instructions to provide a comfortable healing process and minimise pain as the mouth adjusts.

Practising a daily oral care routine is crucial to protect your replacement teeth and prevent further tooth loss.

  • Practise Good Oral Hygiene:
    Make sure to brush your teeth three times a day and floss regularly. This routine helps remove plaque that can lead to tooth decay and gum disease.
  • Visit Your Dentist Regularly:
    It’s essential to schedule checkups every six months to monitor the health of both your natural and replacement teeth.
  • Steer Clear of Hard or Sticky Foods:
    Avoid foods that put stress on replacement teeth, such as hard candy and sticky sweets. This can help prevent damage.
  • Use a Mouthguard if Needed:
    If you clench or grind your teeth, using a mouthguard can help reduce the impact. This protects your natural replacement teeth from excessive wear.

By following these steps, you can support the long-term health of your teeth. These help maintain both natural and replacement teeth for years to come.
