Replacing missing teeth
At Diamond House Dental practice we pride ourselves in offering all options to replace missing or failing teeth. We can offer a non bias summary of the advantages and disadvantage of each option which includes Bridges, Dentures and Dental implant supported restorations.
Dentures
For those who have lost all or many of their teeth dentures may prove to be the simplest solution. We use the best materials and technical support to provide dentures that look and function as naturally as possible. We have our own in-house laboratory so that we can provide an efficient service for emergency repair work. For more information about dental implants, please click here.
Bridges
Bridges replace missing teeth by rigidly fixing artificial teeth to the neighbouring natural teeth. There are no plates involved so they look and feel completely natural.
Conventional Bridges
Crowns are placed on the natural teeth and used to support the artificial teeth. These are fixed into place and are not removable.
Adhesive (Maryland) Bridges
Replacement teeth can be bonded to the neighbouring natural tooth. There is no need to drill the supporting tooth. Modern bonding techniques ensure that these bridges can remain fixed for many years.
Implants
Artificial roots made from titanium are surgically placed in the jaw. Six months later teeth can be fixed to the implants to produce the nearest thing to true replacement teeth. For more information about dental implants, please click here.
