Fixed options for missing teeth

When you have missing teeth, it can affect your self-esteem, your ability to chew properly, and even the alignment of your other teeth. Fortunately, there are several options available for replacing missing teeth. Here are some of the fixed options you might want to consider:

Dental Implants: Dental implants are the most popular option for replacing missing teeth. They are surgically implanted into the jawbone and are made of titanium, which is a biocompatible material that fuses with the bone over time. After the implant has integrated with the jawbone, a crown is attached to the implant, creating a natural-looking and functional tooth.

Dental Bridges: A dental bridge is a fixed restoration that is used to replace one or more missing teeth. The bridge is anchored to the adjacent teeth with dental crowns and spans the gap between them. Bridges can be made of a variety of materials, including porcelain, ceramic, and zirconia, and can be customised to match the colour and shape of your natural teeth.

Implant-Supported Bridges: This option is similar to a traditional dental bridge, but it is anchored to dental implants instead of adjacent teeth. This option is particularly useful if you have multiple missing teeth in a row.

All on 4 dental implants: This is a type of implant-supported denture that is designed to replace an entire arch of teeth. It uses just four implants to support a full set of teeth, making it a more cost-effective and efficient option than traditional dentures.

Implant-Supported Dentures: These dentures are similar to traditional dentures, but they are anchored to dental implants instead of resting on the gums. This option provides greater stability and can prevent bone loss in the jaw, which is common with traditional dentures.

If you have missing teeth, it’s important to talk to your dentist about the best option for your needs. A dentist can evaluate your oral health, discuss your options, and help you decide which treatment is right for you.

Had to have an emergency appoinent due to locked jaw. Staff were so friendly and the dentist was excellent and informative. An emergency referral was made for me, unfortunately this was rejected but I have been invited back for treatment with Abacus who have registered me for this. Outstanding customer service. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

Amazing experience at the Abacus Dental Care with Dr Faris and nurse Olivia. Dr Faris explained to me what he is doing, how is going to be done and talks through the procedure. Very professional and friendly . Excellent service and dental practice. I will highly recommend Dr Faris. It was pain free and any questions I asked were answered in a patient placement manner.Could not be happier!5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I've been to a dentist all my life (62 years) recently changed to Dr. Faris. I've never had so much attention, care and support. Perhaps if I had switched earlier I might not have so many dental concerns. Thank you for first class service and care

I am very pleased to have registered with Abacus Dental. Over the years I have developed a case of dentophobia due to unforgiving and frankly incompetent dentists. When I approached Abacus, Angela was incredibly helpful in getting me registered and seen for an appointment promptly. On arriving for the appointment I was nervous and terribly anxious. Nishu and Mayan were so reassuring, kind and somehow managed to ease my nerves. I am very grateful for the way I have been treated by the staff at Abacus. Now I don’t feel half as nervous going to the dentist knowing that the that the people there are not like those I have seen in the past!
