Our Vancouver dentists use a variety of artificial tooth replacements for missing teeth and to help restore the structure of your smile and your dental health.
Why Replace Missing Teeth?
Replacing missing teeth can help to preserve your long-term oral health. If left unfilled, gaps in your teeth may cause the surrounding teeth to shift and lead to a number of serious issues including decay, gum disease, bone loss and eventual tooth loss.
Dental Bridges
A dental bridge is one or more artificial teeth that a dentist uses to fill a gap of one or more missing teeth.
Your dentist may use a dental bridge to help restore the natural contour of your smile, repair your bite, and assist in preventing other teeth from shifting or falling out.
Dental bridges are custom-made for each patient and may be difficult to distinguish from natural teeth.
Dentures
Dentures are artificial teeth and gums that your dentist uses to replace lost or removed natural teeth.
Dentures can be used to replace an entire jaw of missing teeth (full dentures), or just a few missing teeth (partial dentures).
They are custom-designed to fit your mouth and matched to your existing natural teeth.
Dental Implants
Your dentist may place a dental implant as part of the process to replace a missing tooth.
A dental implant is an artificial tooth root that is surgically placed into your jaw bone to help support a tooth replacement.
Together, the implant and the tooth replacement look and act like a natural tooth. Learn More
