Missing Teeth

At Wimbledon Dental Wellness, we always encourage our patients to replace missing teeth wherever possible.

Missing teeth can cause a multitude of further problems and as a practice that promotes preventive care, we want to stop any future problems from arising when and where we can.

Missing teeth can lead to movement and misalignment in the remaining teeth, which in turn can lead to a more crooked mouth. Gaps left by missing teeth can also lead to food and debris getting trapped and caught in the area, which in turn can contribute to decay. These gaps can also lead to further bone loss in the jaw, which can then lead to changes in the facial structure and contribute to the visible signs of ageing.

Missing teeth can cause other issues such as a loss of confidence in your smile and yourself. They can also lead to difficulty eating and speaking, which can cause feelings of self-consciousness in patients. We want to promote our patients’ overall oral health in any way we can and help to increase their confidence in their smile. This is why we recommend replacing missing teeth wherever it is possible and why we offer such a comprehensive range of options with which to do so.

As with all our treatments, when it comes to missing teeth we will look at your unique oral history and smile ambitions to build a treatment journey that works for you. Our compassionate, gentle style and comprehensive treatment options means we are sure to find the replacement that works for you.
