Dentures
- Dentures are fitted to replace missing teeth. A full set is used to replace all your teeth and a part set is used to replace one or more missing teeth.
- Dentures are usually made from metal or plastic and they are removable so you can clean them.
Bridges
- A bridge is a fixed replacement for a missing tooth or teeth. It’s made by taking an impression of the surrounding teeth, which will eventually support the bridge. A bridge is usually created from precious metal and porcelain and will be fixed in your mouth (unlike dentures, which can be removed).
Implants
- Implants are screws made of titanium that are drilled into the jaw to support crown, bridges or dentures.
- Implants are usually only available privately and although we do not provide implant treatment at the practice, we can refer you to an implantologist who places implants.
