WHAT TO DO NOW THAT YOU’VE LOST A TOOTH
When you lose a tooth, it’s not just your smile’s appearance that is affected.
In most cases, speech isn’t affected, eating is bearable and life goes on.
This seemingly normal state usually only remains for the short term and underneath the surface, your oral health has already begun to suffer.
Your options for missing teeth:
- 1. Do Nothing
- 2. Removable Dentures
- 3. Dental Implant
1. CHOOSING NOT TO REPLACE A MISSING TOOTH
When you lose a tooth, the bone which previously attached the tooth to the root begins to dissolve. Over time, the gap left by a missing tooth will encourage surrounding teeth to fill the space, leading to a misaligned bite and resulting in jaw and neck pain, headaches and a range of other more serious health complications.
Advantages
- No financial cost – at least in the short term.
- If missing a tooth at the back it may not be visible.
Disadvantages
- Problems with speech, eating and self confidence.
- Added stress to the teeth either side, which may cause more problems down the track.
- Gradual loss of jaw bone.
- Remaining teeth with shift towards the gap causing more problems.
2. REMOVABLE DENTURES
Dentures are designed to fill the gap created by missing teeth and can be unclipped and removed if wanted.
Partial dentures consist of an acrylic base (sometimes with a metal framework) that is colour matched to your gums, onto which replacement teeth are attached. Most partial dentures are kept in place with metal clasps that firmly grasp your remaining natural teeth.
Advantages
- Will prevent teeth from moving.
- Recommended for patients with weak or unsuitable gums or jaws.
- Lower financial cost than implants.
Disadvantages
- Does not protect against jaw bone loss.
- May need to be adjusted every 3-5 years or as jaw bone shrinks.
- Clasps from the denture may impact the supporting teeth.
- May cause some discomfort and difficulty with eating and speaking.
- Requires routine cleaning daily and must be removed at night.
3. DENTAL IMPLANTS
Dental implants are the most advanced option for patients looking to replace missing teeth. They are made from medical grade titanium and then bonded to the jaw, providing a secure, long-term replacement for the missing tooth root. Combined with a purposefully designed crown, dental implants offer a virtually identical looking appearance, strength, and function when compared to natural teeth.
Advantages
- A permanent tooth replacement solution that poses no risk of moving or dislodging.
- Function like natural teeth, helping you bite and chew normally.
- Assist in protecting the jawbone by preventing further deterioration.
- Once implanted, implants require less maintenance than dentures.
- Easily incorporated into your regular oral health routine with brushing and flossing.
- Thanks to their longevity, are a cost-effective option with an average lifespan of over 20 years
Disadvantages
- Not recommended for patients with weak or unsuitable gums or jaws.
- Is a surgical procedure and carries the risk of complications such as excessive bleeding, postoperative pain and rejections.
- Initial costs can be higher than alternatives.
The ideal solution for missing teeth
The jaw bone is what supports the roots of our teeth. When a tooth is removed or lost the bone surrounding the jaw is no longer required and begins to recede.
With the loss of multiple teeth, a larger amount of bone begins to shrink away. This can cause the facial muscles to weaken and can lead to issues with speech and the ability to eat. Not to mention the cosmetic appearance of the face and jaw area.
When you visit Redlands Gentle Dental Care our highly trained team will conduct a thorough oral health exam including x-rays prior to any treatment taking place. This ensures that dental implants are the most suitable option for you.
Paying a visit to our practice should be your first point of call when it comes to restoring your smile. During your initial consultation, we will discuss with you, your proposed treatment and also walk you through the treatment plan.

At Redlands Gentle Dental Care, we provide dental implant procedures aimed at improving your overall dental health.
Dental implants act as a replacement for the root of a tooth; these are made of medical grade titanium. Implants are bonded to the jaw and provide a secure, long-term solution to the restoration of both functionality and aesthetic appearance of the teeth.
Whether it be the loss of one or a number of teeth, issues can quickly arise if left untreated. Many patients also feel self-conscious about their smile missing some teeth. Dental implants offer a solution to this problem, rejuvenating the cosmetic appearance and increasing the function of your teeth.
Dental implants are often a popular choice for patients looking to replace missing teeth as they offer a virtually identical looking appearance, strength and function when compared to natural teeth.
Dental implant treatment
Dentures are an affordable treatment option for patients looking to replace missing teeth in a timely manner.
If you are looking to replace missing teeth, dentures could help to restore the overall look and function of your smile. Here at Redlands Gentle Dental Care, our highly experienced team of dentists offer two forms of denture treatment.
Once one of our trained dentists has assessed that you are a suitable candidate for dental implant treatment, a small incision is made into your gum and the implant is moved into position. Once the implant is in place it will be left to bond with the jaw bone, creating a stable base for the implant. This process is what is known as osseointegration and can take anywhere between three to six months.
Once the implant has been placed and begins acting as a natural tooth root, the final phase of the treatment is placing the visible crown. Each crown is custom made to suit each individual. This is done by taking an impression of the implant in your mouth, it is then sent away to a local lab for design.
Aftercare for your implant
It is vital that an implant be treated as a natural tooth. You should stick to a strict oral hygiene routine to ensure you avoid gum disease and decay. Ensuring you book regular oral hygiene appointments with the Redlands Gentle Dental Care team will ensure your implants, teeth and gums remain in good health.
