Missing Teeth

At Brixton Smiles, we always recommend replacing missing teeth as soon as possible.

We understand that living with missing teeth can be difficult which is why we offer such a wide range of dental restorations and replacements, including implants and bridges.

Why replace missing teeth?

Missing teeth can cause a wide variety of further dental and oral health issues. They cause debris to get lodged in the gap left by the missing tooth or teeth, thereby contributing to possible tooth decay as well as bad breath. Missing teeth can also contribute to the remaining teeth moving and misaligning to fill the gap, and to bone loss in the jaw.

Missing teeth can also have a negative impact on a patient’s confidence and self-worth. They can cause difficulty eating and speaking, and can lead you to feel self-conscious when you smile. We want all our patients to feel happy and confident when they smile, and to maintain their best oral health well into the future.

What are my options for replacing missing teeth?

One of the most popular options when replacing a missing tooth is a bridge. We can also offer a wide variety of implant options, such as the single tooth dental implant, or All-On-Four/All-On-Six Same Day Teeth for those with multiple missing teeth. Implants provide patients with a stable and highly functional replacement for the missing tooth and are designed to look completely natural.

If you are in need of a replacement for a missing tooth, then feel free to get in touch with us here at the practice to discuss your options further.
