- Replace extracted, broken or missing teeth
- Improve your bite to its full strength
- Reduce the chance of gum disease by filling gaps
If you’ve had a tooth removed or you’re already suffering from tooth loss then we can help with a range of tooth replacement options.
Replacing a tooth allows you to improve your smile by filling the gaps, support the surrounding teeth for improved stability, recover your full ‘bite’ and prevent gum disease in the tissue around the empty space.
We can provide dental bridges, dental implants or dentures to help you overcome tooth loss. Whilst all 3 options help you overcome tooth loss, they differ in their suitability for each case. Our dentists will discuss the most appropriate options with you.
Your tooth replacement options…
Dental bridge
A dental bridge is used to replace a missing tooth. The term bridge comes from the fact the bridge spans two healthy teeth either side of the damaged or missing teeth to fill the gap.
Dental implant
A dental implant is an artificial replacement tooth that’s connected via a metal ‘post’ that’s inserted directly into your gums. A dental implant is a simple and popular solution.
Partial denture
A partial denture is a set of replacement teeth that cover the front upper or lower set of teeth only, leaving the rear teeth in tact. Partial dentures are removable to make cleaning easier.
Full denture
A full denture is a full arch of upper and/or lower teeth that are fully removable. A full denture is used when all of your upper and/or lower teeth need to be removed.

Frequently asked questions
Is there any maintenance involved?
Maintaining a great oral hygiene routine is important with restorations such as bridges, implants & dentures. We also advise regular checkups and dental hygiene appointments to ensure your tooth replacement solution remains healthy.
Are these procedures painful?
A dental bridge is not a particularly invasive treatment and therefore not painful. A dental implant will involve a small surgical procedure involving your gum and bone. It is one of the most invasive treatments a dentist can do. The treatment will be carried out under Local Anaesthetic and you will experience some discomfort immediately after treatment. As with any surgery, this will quickly heal and your tooth replacement solution will give you many years of trouble free operation.
How experienced are you?
Our dentists are some of the most experienced tooth replacement practices in the midlands. We are a ‘Dental foundation training’ approved practice which means we train other dentists in tooth replacement solutions.
