05
What are my options for replacing a missing tooth?
There are three main ways to replace teeth: Dentures, Bridges, and Dental Implants.
Partial dentures are like orthodontic retainers, usually carrying one or two teeth.
Another option to replace a missing tooth is a dental bridge. Bridges are usually fixed, stable, and feel like natural teeth.
Dental implants are the best possible alternative for replacing a missing tooth. Dental implants are artificial roots for teeth, which are attached to the jawbone before adding crowns. As implants are attached directly into the jawbone is a procedure with long-lasting results.

Should I tell my dentist I have diabetes, high-blood pressure or any other conditions?
