Dental implants have revolutionised dentistry, and it’s no surprise – they’re durable, long-lasting, realistic and discreet. But there are different types of dental implants, depending on your needs and how many teeth you need to replace – so we’re here to cut through the confusion and go through each one in this post.

What are tooth implants for single teeth?

If you’ve lost individual teeth, single-tooth implants will likely be the most suitable option for you. When teeth are missing, you’ll be left with a gap in your smile. Not only do single-tooth implants help fill this gap, but they’ll also prevent other teeth from ‘spreading out’ into the space, which can leave you with a gappy smile. 

What are tooth implants for bridges?

While traditionally, bridges have been fully removable, implant-retained bridges are now on the scene – so while you’ll be able to remove them still, you’ll also have fixed posts in your mouth to clip them to for easy wear. 

What are tooth implants for dentures?

Whether through age or from the effects of neglecting your oral care, dentures are an incredibly common solution for those who are missing many teeth – either a complete set, or cases where some of the original teeth are still in place. Just as with bridges, posts will be in place to fix them to.
