Teeth Replacements in Hurlstone Park

Dental Implants and More

When you lose a tooth, it’s like taking a book off of the shelf. Other books (or in this case, teeth) will lean into the open space. When this happens inside of your mouth, it can impact your entire smile. Even the opposing tooth can become overgrown. Depending on the location of your missing tooth, Your Smile Centre’s highly accomplished dentists may recommend a variety of options available to replace it.

Why Do Missing Teeth Need to Be Replaced?

In most cases, it is best to replace the missing tooth as soon as possible so that neighbouring teeth are not impacted by misalignment, abnormal wear or susceptibility to decay. Even the opposing tooth can begin to erupt further out of space without a partner to bite against. Missing teeth can also cause a significant amount of embarrassment or loss of confidence.

Choosing Your Best Treatment

The type of replacement tooth that you and our veteran dentists choose from will be dependent on your current oral health and long-term goals. Our capable team of skilled providers may recommend one of the following types of treatment:

  • Dental Implants – An artificial tooth that functions independently of other teeth. Implants can support restorations like crowns or bridges to replace as few or many teeth as necessary.
  • All-on-4™ Implants – Replaces all of your upper or lower teeth at one time, with a permanently fixed denture.
  • Fixed Bridge – Two functional crowns are anchored onto neighbouring teeth, with an artificial tooth suspended between them. These are ideal for replacing one or two teeth at a time.
  • Partial Denture – A removable prosthesis that hooks around remaining teeth. Partials allow you to preserve as many healthy teeth as possible while replacing the missing ones in a single step.
  • Full Dentures – If all of your remaining teeth need to be removed, a removable full denture can be worn to replace all of them with a single prosthesis.
