Missing teeth can affect chewing, speech, appearance and the position of remaining teeth. There is no single best replacement — the right choice depends on the number and position of missing teeth, bone, gum health, general health and personal preference.

How missing teeth replacement works
Implants replace the root and support fixed teeth. Bridges use neighbouring teeth as support. Dentures are removable and can replace many teeth at lower complexity. Implant-retained dentures combine stability with removability.
