| Bridges
and partial dentures (click here
for more information) |
| There are two main ways to replace
the missing teeth. The first is with a removable
false tooth or teeth – a partial denture.
The second is with a fixed bridge. A bridge is usually
used where there are fewer teeth to replace, or
when the missing teeth are only on one side of the
mouth. |
| Dentures
(click here
for more information) |
| A denture is an appliance which is
worn to replace lost or missing teeth to enable
you to enjoy a healthy diet and smile with confidence.
A complete or full denture is one which replaces
all of the natural teeth in either the upper or
lower jaws. A partial denture fills in the spaces
created by lost or missing teeth and is attached
to your natural teeth with metal clasps or devices
called precision attachments. |

| Crowns
(click here

| A crown
is an artificial restoration that fits over the
remaining part of a prepared tooth, making it strong
and giving it the shape of a natural tooth. A crown
is sometimes known as a ‘cap’. |
