Missing or damaged teeth can affect more than just your smile. If you’re considering tooth replacement, book a consultation with Hains Dental to discuss your individual needs and the treatment options available to you.

We take the time to explain the different ways missing teeth can be replaced, helping you choose the option that best suits your oral health, lifestyle, and budget. Common options include dental implants, bridges, and dentures, each with their own benefits.

Your Tooth Replacement Options

• Dental Implants
  Dental implants are the only restorative option that replaces the entire tooth structure — both the root and the crown.

• Dental Bridges
  Bridges replace the visible part of a missing tooth by anchoring to the neighbouring teeth.

• Dentures
  Dentures can replace multiple missing teeth. They are often a suitable option when several teeth are missing.

During your consultation, we will assess your oral health and discuss which option is most suitable for you.

The Dental Implant Process (If Implants Are Right for You)

If dental implants are recommended, the treatment usually involves the following stages:

1. Initial consultation – We discuss your goals, assess your suitability for implants, and explore all tooth replacement options.

2. Implant placement – If required, we will refer you to an appropriate specialist surgeon who will place the implant screw.

3. Restorative phase – Once healing is complete, we will attach the custom-made crown or bridge to the implant screw, restoring function and appearance.

Why Replace a Missing Tooth?

Replacing a missing tooth is not just about aesthetics. It helps restore proper chewing function and supports overall oral health. When a tooth is lost, neighbouring teeth can shift into the gap, potentially causing bite problems, misalignment, and jaw joint issues over time.

If you are missing one or more teeth and would like to explore your replacement options, contact Hains Dental today on 5580 9926 to book a consultation.
