Best Options for Missing Teeth

Have you lost a tooth or two and are feeling self-conscious about your smile?

You're not alone!

Over75% of Brits don’t have a full set of natural teeth, with most struggling to find a suitable and affordable way of filling in any gaps.

Options for Missing Teeth

Clip-on Veneers

Clip-on veneers are the perfect solution for missing teeth.

They can be quickly and easily attached to your existing teeth, providing a natural-looking solution for anyone self-conscious about their smile. Find out more about the instasmile process.

As they’re made to your unique measurements, you don’t have to worry about them slipping or moving around when you eat or speak - just enjoy an effective solution that provides a full and natural-looking smile.

Dental Implants

For those who want a more permanent solution for their missing teeth, dental implants are an option recommended by cosmetic dentists.

The procedure includes small metal rods being surgically implanted into the jawbone to act as artificial tooth roots. They provide a secure foundation for replacement teeth like crowns, bridges, and dentures.

However, dental implants are expensive, and you’re charged per tooth. If you need multiple dental implants, you’ll be looking at paying a small fortune. 

Dentures

Dentures have come a long way since they were first invented. Today, denture wearers can enjoy a natural look and feel, thanks to advances in materials and manufacturing techniques.

Dentures are removable prosthetic teeth that can be easily taken out and put back in. They look and feel just like natural teeth, so you don't have to worry about your appearance when you wear them.

However, many patients have to make a few changes to their lifestyle and eating habits if they get them, with most finding it difficult to enjoy chewy or crunchy foods. 

Partial Dentures

Partial dentures are removable dental appliances that replace one or more missing teeth. They are usually made of plastic and metal and fit snugly over your gums. Partial dentures rely on the existing teeth for support, and are usually held in place by metal clasps or precision attachments.

Partial dentures require regular care and maintenance. You will need to remove them every night so that you can brush and clean them properly. You’ll also need to use special cleaners to keep them free of bacteria and plaque build-up.

They can also take a while to get used to, with a lot of patients experiencing discomfort while wearing them. 

Bridges

Dental bridges, on the other hand, use adjacent teeth as anchors for artificial teeth, filling in gaps caused by missing teeth. They are typically made of porcelain or metal and help with chewing and speaking. Bridges can also help restore your smile and keep remaining natural teeth from shifting out of alignment or experiencing further damage.

The downsides of dental bridges include their high maintenance. They require strict upkeep, otherwise, you could experience gum inflammation and cavities. Like many cosmetic dental solutions for missing teeth, dental bridges are pretty expensive, costing upwards of £800, depending on where you go and if any additional treatments are required. 

Most affordable options for missing teeth

Feeling a bit spoilt for choice?

We don’t blame you.

If cost is a concern when it comes to options for missing teeth, clip-on veneers are the choice for you.

Clip-on veneers cost between £250 and £600 - depending on whether you opt for a single arch or a full set.

Clip-on veneers offer a great deal of benefits for those looking to make a temporary change. They are easy to remove and replace as needed, making them perfect for special occasions where you want to make a big impression, like a job interview or your wedding photos.
