Have you lost a tooth following an extraction or an accident? Several options are available for our patients depending on their situation and the number of teeth to be replaced.
But first of all, why must one replace a missing tooth?
It is important to know that a tooth replacement is recommended not only for esthetic reasons but also for oral health reasons.
If you delay to replace a tooth you will face the following risks :
- Teeth might shift and drift
- Pain to the jaw
- Difficulty to clean misaligned teeth
- Gum disease
- Caries formation
Depending on your situation we will recommend the best option to replace your natural teeth.
The following are the options that our clinic will suggest to you:
The bridge
The bridge is placed when the missing tooth is between two healthy teeth. It allows to replace one or more teeth. The bridge has a longevity of about ten years on average.
Partial dentures or complete dentures
Partial dentures can be recommended when there is a need to replace several teeth or when the existing natural teeth are not strong enough to hold a bridge. Our service in denturology offers the possibility to have a partial or complete denture.
Dental implant
A dental implant is an artificial root made of titanium that is inserted in the jaw. Once placed the implant can then accommodate a crown, a bridge or a dental prosthesis.

A treatment custom made for your needs
Even if many options are offered at our clinic, the treatment recommended for each patient will depend according to his or her general condition, the health of the gums and of the existing teeth. An exam and x-rays will help determine the right treatment for you.
The Canadian Dental Association explains very well each of those treatments with some graphics. Visit the pages for each: the bridge, the implants and the dental prostheses.
