Restore the health and appearance of your smile!

If you have missing teeth, you’re not alone. Most people will lose at least one permanent tooth in their lifetime, and about 20 percent of us are even born with one or more permanent teeth missing. At Bere Regis Dental Practice, our tooth replacement dentists provide high-quality, comfortable solutions for patients of all ages.

The most common causes of missing teeth include tooth decay, gum disease, injury, and genetic factors. If left untreated, missing teeth can impact how you chew and speak, lead to bone loss and other health conditions, and impact your overall self-esteem. Fortunately, we have effective treatments like dentures and bridges that can restore your smile as well as your dental health and confidence! We can also refer you to trusted experts for Dental Implants.

Why you should consider a tooth replacement

If you’re missing a tooth or multiple teeth, opting for a professional replacement can offer life-changing results. Missing teeth not only impact your confidence but can also lead to a number of potential health problems down the line, including:

  • Bone loss – Missing teeth can cause the surrounding jaw bone to deteriorate, leading to changes in facial structure and jaw pain.
  • Crooked teeth – When you lose a tooth, the surrounding teeth may try to shift to accommodate the open space; this can lead to misaligned teeth that are harder to clean.
  • Gum disease – Missing teeth leave the underlying gum exposed; this makes it easier for harmful bacteria to inflame the gumline.
  • Affected speech – It’s not uncommon for missing teeth to impact the way you pronounce words over time.

We’ll work with you to understand your needs and concerns and help you find the right tooth replacement treatment for you. We want to help you build your self-esteem and protect your dental health for years to come.

Treatments for missing teeth

At Bere Regis Dental Practice, we’re dedicated to providing quality care for all patients. If you’re missing a tooth or multiple teeth, we can provide you with long-lasting, high-quality restorations to improve your smile and your confidence.

Bridges

A dental bridge can replace your missing tooth or teeth by bridging the gap between your natural teeth or implants. The treatment involves securing a custom bridge to your natural teeth (traditional dental bridge) or implant (implant-supported bridge).

Dentures

Dentures are custom-made replacements for missing teeth and can be taken out and put back into your mouth. You can choose from full dentures, which replace all your teeth, or partial dentures, which are used when some natural teeth remain.

Traditional implants

We can refer you to trusted experts who will use high-tech 3D imaging to secure a quality implant that will look and function just like a real tooth.
