Tooth Replacement Services in Newcastle

Our natural looking treatments replace your missing teeth and close unsightly gaps.

Missing teeth can affect the health and function of your smile – not to mention their appearance. If you’ve been living with gaps or the prospect of having your teeth removed, you’ll appreciate the impact that missing teeth can have on your confidence. Missing teeth can sometimes change the appearance of your entire face, causing your skin to sag slightly or appear sunken. Teeth are also important for speech and you may find that you have trouble forming certain words or sounds. Gaps can also increase your risk of dental problems and gum disease and cause other teeth to move out of position.

For these reasons we always recommend replacing missing teeth. Depending on how many teeth are missing and where the gaps are positioned, we can use implants, bridges or dentures to restore your smile. Treatment is usually carried out over three to four appointments, and you’ll be given a local anaesthetic to prevent any discomfort.

With our teeth replacement options at Gosforth Dental Surgery, you can restore your confidence even after losing some of your natural teeth – and still be able to enjoy a high quality of life after suffering from missing teeth problems.

Frequently asked questions

Your teeth play an important role and it’s just as important to replace your back teeth, as it is your front teeth. Even one missing tooth can have a negative impact on your remaining teeth and oral health. When a tooth is missing the healthy adjacent teeth tend to tilt, rotate and shift, affecting how your upper and lower teeth meet. This causes problems when chewing having an impact on surrounding muscles and your jaw joints.

During your initial consultation at our Newcastle dental practice, your mouth will first be examined, and then appropriate x-rays, models and photographs taken. Your dentist will then show you examples of each type of teeth replacement and discuss with you all the options available to replace your missing teeth, including advantages and disadvantages, cost, and the number of visits needed for each option.

At Gosforth Dental Surgery, your dentist will always provide you a full treatment plan together with an estimate of the costs of providing the treatment.
