- Implants can be used to replace one or more missing teeth or can also be used to stabilise dentures.
- To replace a single tooth, an implant (titanium) is placed and after a period of healing of approximately 10-12 weeks, a crown is custom-made to connect onto the implant thus providing a firm, permanent and very natural-looking tooth replacement.
- A bridge is used to replace a missing tooth
- Usually this involves the replacement tooth being bonded to the teeth either side
- Dentures are removable prostheses made to replace one or more missing teeth. At Beach Road Dental, we offer partial or complete (full) dentures.
- They can be made entirely of natural-looking acrylic or have a metal (cobalt-chrome) base
