What can happen without a replacement

Neighbouring teeth can shift

Without a replacement, the teeth around the gap may drift into the space.

Your bite can move out of alignment

Shifting teeth can change how your upper and lower teeth meet.

Chewing can get harder

A gap can make some foods difficult to enjoy.

The jaw can lose bone

Over time, the bone under a missing tooth can wear away.

Three ways to replace a missing tooth

Non-surgical

Dental bridge

A reliable, natural-looking alternative

One or more artificial teeth anchored by crowns on the teeth next to the gap, custom-made to blend with your smile.

  • Quick & effective – restore your smile in just a few visits.
  • No surgery required – a great option if you're not ready for implants.
  • Improved chewing & speaking – a bridge fills the gap, making daily activities easier.
  • Keeps teeth aligned – prevents your remaining teeth from shifting.

Removable

Partial denture

A flexible, cost-effective solution

A custom-made removable prosthetic that fits comfortably around your remaining natural teeth, restoring function and appearance.

  • Low-cost & non-invasive – a budget-friendly option with no surgery required.
  • Custom fit for comfort – designed to match your mouth for a secure fit.
  • Easier chewing & speaking – helps restore normal mouth function.
  • Preserves alignment – prevents remaining teeth from shifting.

Replacing a missing tooth: your questions

Why should I replace a missing tooth?
A missing tooth isn't just a cosmetic concern. Without a replacement, surrounding teeth may shift, leading to bite misalignment, difficulty chewing, and even bone loss in the jaw. Modern dentistry offers several effective ways to restore your smile and protect your oral health.
Which option is best for me?
It depends on your mouth, your goals, and your comfort level. At your visit, we'll look at your situation and walk you through each option, so you can choose with confidence and without pressure.
What if I'm not ready for implants?
Dental bridges are a secure, natural-looking, non-surgical alternative, and partial dentures are a removable, cost-effective option. We can help you work out what suits you best.
What if I'm missing more than one tooth?
We can help with that too. See our guide to replacing multiple missing teeth, or book a visit and we'll talk through your options.
