Single false tooth replacement

A single missing tooth can be replaced with a removable partial denture, bridge, or implant-supported crown after assessment.

A bridge uses neighbouring teeth, a partial denture uses a removable framework, and an implant supports a crown through an abutment.

The dentist checks the gap, bite, gums, roots, and bone with examination and imaging when needed.

Seek care for pain, swelling, trauma, or movement of adjacent teeth.

Ask how each option affects cleaning, neighbouring teeth, bone, appearance, repairs, and retention.
