Teeth Replacement Purley

Missing teeth can affect not only your appearance but also your overall oral health. Our expert dentists at Purley Dental Care offer a comprehensive range of teeth replacement options, including dental implants, bridges, and dentures, to help you regain a natural, confident smile.

Why Teeth Replacement is Important

Replacing missing teeth is crucial for several reasons. Missing teeth can lead to various oral health issues, such as 

  • Shifting of adjacent teeth
  • Bone loss in the jaw 
  • Difficulties with chewing and speaking
  • Gaps cause remaining teeth to move out of alignment, leading to bite problems and further complications. 

Replacing these teeth helps maintain the structure of your mouth, preserving your ability to eat and speak comfortably, and preventing further dental issues.

Teeth Replacement Options in Purley

We understand that every patient’s needs are unique, which is why we offer a variety of teeth replacement options. Whether you’re missing a single tooth or multiple teeth, we have a solution that’s right for you.

Dental Implants (The gold standard in teeth replacement for its durability purposes) Involve placing a titanium post into the jawbone, which acts as a root for the replacement tooth. Once the implant has integrated with the bone, a crown is placed on top, providing a strong and natural-looking replacement tooth.

Dental Bridges are another effective way to replace one or more missing teeth. This option involves anchoring an artificial tooth (or teeth) to the adjacent natural teeth or implants. Bridges are a reliable solution for those who may not be suitable candidates for implants or who prefer a quicker treatment option. They are custom-made to match the colour and shape of your natural teeth, ensuring a seamless blend with your smile.

Dentures: Available as full or partial sets, dentures are a versatile and cost-effective option for those needing to replace several or all of their teeth. They are designed to fit snugly over the gums, restoring function and aesthetics. 

Teeth Replacement Purley: The Process

When you visit us at Purley Dental Care for teeth replacement, we begin with a comprehensive consultation to assess your oral health and discuss your goals. Based on this evaluation, we will recommend the most suitable replacement option for you, whether it’s dental implants, bridges, or dentures.

The process for each treatment varies:

  • For Dental Implants: The process involves placing the implant into the jawbone, followed by a healing period to allow osseointegration (the fusion of the implant with the bone). Once healed, an abutment and crown are attached to complete the replacement.
  • For Dental Bridges: The adjacent teeth are prepared to support the bridge, and impressions are taken to create a custom-fit bridge. The bridge is then placed and adjusted for comfort and function.
  • For Dentures: Impressions of your gums are taken to create custom dentures that fit perfectly. For those opting for implant-supported dentures, implants will be placed first, followed by fitting the dentures.

Our team will guide you through every step of the process, ensuring you are comfortable and informed at each stage.

FAQs

The best option varies depending on your specific needs and oral health. Dental implants are often considered the best long-term solution, but bridges and dentures are also effective options. Our dentists will advise what is the best option for you.

With proper care, dental implants can last a lifetime. They are made from durable materials that integrate with the jawbone, providing a permanent solution for missing teeth.

Dental implants are standalone replacements that don’t rely on adjacent teeth, while bridges require support from neighbouring teeth. Implants are more durable and long-lasting, whereas bridges are quicker to place and less invasive.

Modern dentures are designed to be comfortable and functional. They are custom-fitted to your mouth and can be adjusted as needed to ensure a good fit.

The cost varies depending on the type of replacement (implants, bridges, dentures) and the complexity of the treatment. We offer flexible financing options to make teeth replacement affordable.

Yes, dental implants can be used to replace multiple teeth, either individually or by supporting a bridge or denture.

The timeline depends on the type of treatment. Dental implants typically require several months for complete integration, while bridges and dentures can be fitted in a few weeks.

 Dental implants provide a permanent, stable solution that feels and functions like natural teeth. They also prevent bone loss in the jaw, which can occur with dentures over time.

We prioritise patient comfort and use local anaesthesia or sedation during procedures. Post-treatment discomfort can be managed with prescribed pain relief and typically subsides within a few days.

Yes, dental implants allow you to eat a wide range of foods without restrictions, providing the same biting and chewing power as natural teeth.

Care depends on the type of replacement. Dental implants require regular brushing and flossing, while dentures need to be cleaned daily and soaked overnight. Bridges should be cleaned like natural teeth with additional care to keep the surrounding gums healthy.

Not replacing missing teeth can lead to shifting of the remaining teeth, bone loss in the jaw, and difficulty with chewing and speaking. It can also impact your overall oral health and facial structure. Trust our dentists to provide the highest care for you to support your ora lhealth.

Most patients are good candidates for dental implants, but those with certain health conditions or insufficient jawbone may require additional treatments like bone grafting.

During your consultation, we’ll assess your oral health and discuss your goals to recommend the best teeth replacement option for your needs.

Teeth replacements like crowns, bridges, and dentures are made from materials that do not respond to whitening treatments. However, they are designed to match your natural teeth colour and can be polished for a refreshed look.
