Why Replacing Missing Teeth Matters
Missing teeth affect more than appearance. Without replacement, there can be a chain of consequences for your oral health and daily life.
Bone Loss
Without stimulation from a tooth root, the jawbone in the area gradually resorbs (shrinks), which can change facial shape over time.
Tooth Drifting
Neighbouring teeth can shift into the gap, affecting your bite alignment and potentially causing jaw discomfort.
Chewing Difficulty
Gaps can make it harder to chew certain foods effectively, which may affect diet and nutrition.
Speech Changes
Missing front teeth in particular can affect pronunciation, causing lisping or whistling sounds.
Your Treatment Options
Three approaches to replacing missing teeth — your dentist will recommend the most suitable for you.
1. Dental Implants
Fixed, Long-Term Solution
A titanium screw is placed in the jawbone to act as an artificial root. Once healed, a crown, bridge, or denture is attached on top. Implants are designed to help preserve jawbone and do not affect neighbouring teeth.
- Designed to help preserve bone
- Fixed and stable
- No impact on adjacent teeth
Member Price
From £1,475
2. Dental Bridges
Fixed, No Surgery
A false tooth is held in place by crowns bonded to the neighbouring teeth. Bridges are a fixed solution that does not require surgery, making them suitable when implants are not an option.
- Typically completed in 2–3 weeks
- Fixed in place
- Natural appearance
Member Price (per unit)
From £497.50
3. Modern Dentures
Removable, Affordable
Modern dentures are lightweight and natural-looking. We offer acrylic, flexible Valplast, cobalt-chrome, and implant-retained options to suit different needs and budgets.
- Multiple material options
- No surgery required
- Most affordable option
Member Price
From £397.50

Patient Experiences
Implant-Supported Bridge
Concern: Patient had lost 3 adjacent back teeth and was struggling with chewing on that side.
Treatment: Two dental implants were placed and connected with a 3-unit bridge, avoiding the need for three separate implants.
Outcome: The patient reported improved chewing function and was pleased with the natural appearance of the restoration.
Individual results may vary. A clinical assessment is required to determine suitability.
Flexible Denture
Concern: Patient had an old acrylic denture that covered the palate and reduced taste sensation.
Treatment: A Valplast flexible partial denture was made with no metal clasps and a smaller, more comfortable design.
Outcome: The patient found the new denture more comfortable and appreciated that it was not visible when smiling.
Individual results may vary. A clinical assessment is required to determine suitability.
