What Are The Consequences Of Missing Teeth?
When a tooth is lost, the surrounding bone and gum tissue begin to shrink. This can lead to:
- Shifting of neighbouring teeth
- Changes in bite and facial structure
- Difficulty eating or speaking clearly
- Increased risk of gum disease and further tooth loss
Our goal is to help you prevent these complications with precise long-lasting treatments tailored to your unique oral health needs.
What Are My Options If I Have Missing Teeth?
01.
Dental Implants
A dental implant is the gold standard for tooth replacement. It acts as a natural root replacement, preserving bone and supporting a lifelike crown.
02.
Dental Bridges
If you are missing multiple teeth in a row, implant-supported bridges can restore your smile without needing to replace every missing tooth with an implant.
03.
Dentures
Modern dentures are more comfortable, secure and discreet than ever before. They can be an excellent option for replacing several or all missing teeth.
How To Fix Missing Teeth Without Implants
If you are missing teeth but want to avoid implants, modern bridges and custom-made dentures offer reliable alternatives. Advances in dental materials and digital design mean these options now provide exceptional comfort, strength and aesthetics. At The Perio Centre, we carefully tailor each treatment to restore your smile with precision and long-lasting results.

Can A Missing Tooth Affect Other Teeth?
When a tooth is missing, the surrounding teeth can gradually shift into the empty space, disrupting your bite and creating areas that are harder to clean. This movement may lead to pressure on your teeth, gum strain or even bone loss over time, affecting both the appearance and function of your smile. A missing tooth can also sometimes cause discomfort or misalignment in your jaw that worsens if left untreated.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can You Help With Missing Back Teeth?
Yes, we can help restore missing back teeth with solutions such as dental implants, which act as strong replacement that function just like natural teeth. Book an appointment today and a dedicated specialist will be able to discuss with you your different options.
Why Is Replacing Missing Teeth Important?
Replacing missing teeth preserves jawbone strength, prevents shifting of surrounding teeth and helps maintain proper bite and chewing efficiency. It also supports overall oral health and long term comfort.
Can You Regrow Missing Teeth Naturally?
Currently, natural regrowth of missing teeth is not possible for adults, as once a tooth is lost, the underlying bone and tissues cannot regenerate a full replacement. Modern dentistry offers highly effective alternatives that restore function and appearance seamlessly.
Do You Recommend Dentures For Missing Teeth?
Dentures can be an excellent solution for some patients, especially when multiple teeth are missing, providing both function and a natural appearance. Our team will ensure they are custom-fitted for comfort and stability.
Will Missing Teeth Interfere With My Smile?
Yes, even a single missing tooth can change the alignment of your smile and affect how you speak or chew. Early replacement helps to maintain your smile’s appearance and function.
Can You Help With Bridge Work For Missing Teeth?
Yes, we offer custom dental bridges that fill gaps left by missing teeth, restoring both function and appearance. Bridges are designed to blend seamlessly with your natural teeth and prevent neighbouring teeth from shifting.
What Is The Best Treatment For Missing Teeth?
The best way to replace a missing tooth depends on your individual needs, oral health and lifestyle. Options include dental implants, bridges or dentures, each carefully chosen to provide a durable solution.
Is There A Way To Hide Missing Teeth?
Yes, temporary or permanent solutions such as cosmetic bridges, partial dentures or implant-supported restorations can effectively mask missing teeth while restoring your smile. These options are tailored for comfort and a natural appearance.
Is Replacing Missing Teeth Covered By Dental Insurance?
Coverage varies depending on your insurance plan and the treatment chosen. Our team can help you understand your policy and guide you through any claim process to make treatment more accessible.
