Accidents, tooth decay, gum infections can cause tooth loss. This leads to missing tooth
which can cause difficulties to chew in case of back teeth and poor aesthetics in case of front
teeth. Missing tooth can also be due developmental defects and in that case, will be missing
from birth/childhood.
Modern dental treatments include many options for replacement of missing teeth, both fixed
and removable options.
Dental implants for fixed replacement of missing teeth are the best option and mimics
natural teeth as best as possible.
Crowns and bridges are another fixed replacement option which takes support from
nearby teeth, can be metal ceramic or all ceramic in material.
Removable dentures, are a third/ last option when fixed is not possible. They can be
complete for full mouth or partial for few teeth.
