Missing Tooth Replacement
When teeth are lost the remaining teeth can drift out of position, cause a change in the bite, develop decay or gum disease or have a higher risk of fracture.
At Fullarton Park Dental we have many options for replacing missing teeth.
Dentures, Dental Bridges or Dental Implants are the main options for replacing missing teeth.
Options For Missing Teeth
Dentures are removable appliances which can be used to replace one tooth or a full set of teeth. Dental Bridges are a fixed appliance using an adjacent tooth as an anchor point for the missing tooth.
Dental Implants replace the root of your tooth by bonding to the bone and forming a stable foundation for permanently replacing a tooth.

While you don’t have to replace all missing teeth the dentist can advise if the missing tooth can cause any ongoing problems such as over eruption of the opposing tooth, difficulty eating and increased wear, tear and burden on the surrounding teeth.
