False teeth and fake teeth - neither sound particularly great, do they? 

But what are the options for false teeth when you need to replace multiple missing teeth? 

Old-fashioned methods are a thing of the past, and there is now a whole range of solutions for missing teeth, including traditional dental techniques and more modern, affordable solutions. 

Here’s what you need to know. 

Fake teeth options

Your dental professional will provide you with three main options. The one that’s right for you depends on your reason for getting fake teeth, how many missing teeth you have, and your oral health. 

The most common options provided by a dentist are:

  • Implants
  • Fixed bridges
  • Removable partial dentures
Alternatives to fake teeth

Dental implants

Being the most invasive, dental implant surgery involves the gum and jaw bone being drilled into before a metal rod with a screw is placed in the open hole. The metal rod needs to then be given time to fuse with your jawbone before a replacement tooth is screwed into place. Not an option for the faint-hearted!

Fixed bridges 

This essentially allows fake teeth to attach to adjacent existing teeth to hold them in place. For this option, the surrounding teeth must be in a healthy condition.

Partial dentures 

Designed for those wanting to cover the upper missing teeth, partial dentures cover the palate (roof of your mouth) with a gum-like plastic. This is the reason many people are put off by partial dentures, and they can make eating and drinking quite tricky. 

Fake teeth cost

Fake teeth using any of the above solutions with your dentist can cost up to £10,000 and in many cases up to £20,000 depending on how many teeth you need to replace and what option you go for. 

You will need to check carefully if your insurance will cover these, as fake teeth are often considered a cosmetic requirement only.

Affordable solutions for fake teeth

Wouldn’t it be good if there was a way to buy fake teeth at a lower cost with the same results?

Luckily for you, instasmile has the perfect solution.

Send it back to us and our smile technician will design your bespoke smile. It’s then hand-finished, quality control checked and posted back to you.

The benefits of instasmile

Clip-on veneers are designed to disguise a range of dental insecurities, including missing, discoloured and misaligned teeth. 

Here are the key benefits of choosing instasmile: 

Maximum comfort 

Custom-made to your unique measurements, you don’t have to worry about discomfort or anything moving out of place with an instasmile clip-on veneer. 

They don’t cover your palate, require any messy adhesives, or need painful dentist visits.  

Customisable look 

Offering a natural aesthetic, we have four available shades - Hollywood White, Pure Natural White, Light Ivory and Medium Ivory - so you can get the exact look you want. 

Fast results 

With no need for dentist visits and a speedy manufacturing team, you can get your clip-on veneers in 15 days (once your impressions have been approved), or 10 if you select express manufacture at checkout. 

Then, clip on and go!

Easy to maintain 

There’s no shying away from the fact that dental surgeries are effective. But, they aren’t all they’re cracked up to be. 

They can break and chip if you’re not careful, require lots of your valuable time and money, and have strict aftercare instructions in order to maintain the look and feel. 

However, with clip-on veneers, as long as you keep them clean and store them correctly, you’re investing in a smile solution that lasts as long as you need it to.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the difference between fake teeth and dentures?

False teeth is simply an umbrella term for natural teeth alternatives like veneers, crowns, implants and dentures. 

Dentures specifically are prosthetic appliances that fix and disguise tooth decay, periodontal conditions and missing teeth. Giving extra structure to the mouth, they can reduce the facial muscles from sagging, creating a much healthier, more youthful face. 

The downside? Usually made from acrylic resin or porcelain, dentures are pretty expensive. 

Other forms of fake teeth are clip-on veneers. Available right here at instasmile, this is a much more affordable alternative to dentures, crowns, implants and veneers, perfecting both the damaged/missing tooth and the surrounding ones.

How safe are fake teeth?

False teeth methods are incredibly safe to install in the UK, with each and every method being tested to medical-grade standards. 

However, false teeth can wear down over time, with eating and more so if you grind your teeth. This weakened structure can lead to cracks, chips and breaks, causing damage to the natural teeth and gums if not replaced or fixed. 

instasmile is a far better option, as they are much more durable. With a clip-on veneer, you can eat, drink, smile and talk without worry.

How can I maintain fake teeth?

Similarly to your natural teeth, false teeth maintenance involves brushing, flossing and visiting your dentist regularly. 

By keeping the false tooth/teeth and the surrounding areas clean, they’re more likely to last longer. 

However, depending on what false teeth option you choose, you might have to change your diet slightly to prevent damage. Some with false teeth often find they suffer from sensitivity due to the natural tooth and enamel being shaved down. 

instasmile veneers offer a comfortable and durable alternative that doesn’t cause any damage to what’s already there. And, they’re easy to maintain! 

All you need to do is brush off any food debris from the day with warm water and a soft-bristled brush at the end of the day. Then, use denture tablets twice a week to remove any unseen bacteria.
