Several Missing Teeth

Our Advice on Replacing Missing Teeth with Implants

It’s common to lose several teeth as a result of gum infections (periodontitis) or damage due to previous fillings. If left untreated, missing teeth can lead to further dental complications, including bone loss and misalignment of your teeth and jaw.

At Acorn Dental, we understand the importance of addressing gaps in your smile quickly—not only from a functional perspective but also for your overall oral health and in many cases for cosmetic reasons. Closing the gap with dental implants can prevent further bone loss and ensure your teeth remain properly positioned.

Implant-Supported Bridge – Used when multiple adjacent teeth are missing. Instead of placing an implant for every tooth, a few implants support a bridge.

The number of implants required varies depending on your individual situation, with your dentist recommending the best approach based on your needs. A significant advantage of implant-supported bridges is that they don’t require grinding down healthy neighbouring teeth, preserving your natural smile and supporting your long-term dental health.
