If you are missing one or more teeth, Kedron Family Dental offers a range of tooth replacement options, including dental implants and dental bridges. Your dentist can assess your oral health and discuss which treatment options may be suitable for your individual needs.
Living with a missing tooth can affect oral function and may create challenges with everyday activities such as eating and speaking. Fortunately, tooth loss can be addressed by a range of effective solutions thanks to modern dentistry, including dental implants and dentures.
At Kedron Family Dental , you can explore the various treatment options available and begin your journey towards discussing suitable treatment options based on your needs.
When it comes to finding a solution, understanding the causes of missing teeth is essential for preventive care and informed decision-making. Several factors contribute to tooth loss, ranging from genetics to preventable conditions like gum disease and traumatic injuries.
Here are the 3 primary causes:
Genetics play a great role in dental health as this influences the size and shape of your teeth, jaw structure, and susceptibility to certain oral conditions. If you have a family history of tooth loss or congenital abnormalities, you may be predisposed to dental issues that contribute to missing teeth.
Gum disease , or periodontal disease, is a major cause of missing teeth. It starts with plaque buildup. If not fully addressed through adequate oral hygiene, plaque can lead to gum inflammation (gingivitis) and, if left untreated, turn into periodontitis (severe gum disease). This advanced stage involves the deterioration of the teeth’s supporting structures, including bone mass. As the bone weakens, teeth may become loose and eventually fall out.
Traumatic injuries, such as falls or sports-related incidents, can result in the loss of 1 or more teeth. Impact to the face can cause dental issues such as fractures, dislodgment, or the complete breakage of teeth.

Missing teeth affect more than just your appearance. Here are just a few of the ways missing teeth can impact you:
You have several different options for restoring missing teeth. Three common solutions include dental implants, dentures, and dental bridges.
Dental implants are an established treatment option for replacing one or more missing teeth and may be suitable for some patients following a dental assessment. Treatment involves the surgical placement of titanium implants into the jawbone to support a replacement tooth, bridge, or full-arch restoration.
Dental implants are designed to provide support and stability for replacement teeth and may help restore chewing function and appearance. They can be used to replace a single tooth, several missing teeth, or, in suitable cases, support a full-arch restoration.
Treatment time, costs, suitability, and outcomes vary between patients and depend on factors such as oral health, bone condition, and individual treatment needs. If you are missing teeth, our dental team can assess your situation and discuss the available tooth replacement options with you.
Dentures are removable prosthetic devices designed to replace missing teeth and surrounding tissues. They come in two main forms: partial dentures, which replace a few missing teeth, and full dentures, which replace an entire arch of teeth. Dentures are typically made of acrylic or a combination of materials and rest on the gums, often secured with adhesives. While cost-effective and versatile in use, some people may experience challenges with stability and comfort.
Dental bridges are fixed replacements for missing teeth. They can be anchored to neighbouring natural teeth or dental implants. Traditional bridges require preparing adjacent teeth for crowns, while implant-supported bridges use implants for stability. Bridges are a popular fixed, longer-term option, offering better stability and improved function and appearance compared to dentures.
