Missing teeth can affect your confidence, speech and ability to enjoy your favourite foods. At Bedford Place Dentist, we offer modern tooth replacement solutions designed to restore both the appearance and function of your smile. Whether you're missing one tooth or several, implant-supported dentures and dental bridges provide reliable, long-lasting treatment options tailored to your needs.

What are implant-supported dentures?

Implant-supported dentures are secured to dental implants that are placed into the jawbone, creating a much stronger and more stable alternative to traditional dentures. The implants act like artificial tooth roots, helping to keep your dentures securely in place throughout the day.

Benefits of implant-supported dentures

  • Improved stability with minimal movement

  • Greater comfort when eating and speaking

  • Better chewing efficiency

  • Support for healthy jawbone preservation

  • A long-lasting solution for multiple missing teeth

Depending on your individual needs, implant-supported dentures can be fixed permanently or designed to be removable for easy cleaning. During your consultation, we'll recommend the most suitable option for your lifestyle and oral health.

What is a dental bridge?

A dental bridge replaces one or more missing teeth by attaching an artificial tooth to neighbouring teeth or dental implants. It's an effective solution for filling gaps, restoring your bite and preventing surrounding teeth from shifting.

Benefits of dental bridges

  • Restore your smile and confidence

  • Improve chewing and speech

  • Prevent neighbouring teeth from moving

  • Custom-made to match your natural teeth

  • Strong, reliable and long-lasting

Every bridge is individually designed to fit comfortably and blend seamlessly with your existing smile.

Implant-supported dentures or dental bridges – which is right for you?

The right treatment depends on several factors, including how many teeth you're missing, the condition of your jawbone and your long-term oral health goals.

Implant-supported dentures may be ideal if you:

  • Have lost several or all of your teeth

  • Want a secure alternative to traditional dentures

  • Would like improved stability and comfort

  • Are looking for a long-term tooth replacement solution

Dental bridges may be more suitable if you:

  • Are missing one or a small number of teeth

  • Have healthy neighbouring teeth or implants for support

  • Want to restore your smile without replacing every tooth

  • Are looking for an effective fixed restoration

At Bedford Place Dentist, we'll carry out a full assessment before recommending the treatment that's best suited to you.

Looking after your new smile

Taking care of your implant-supported dentures or dental bridge helps ensure they continue to look and function at their best.

We recommend:

  • Brushing twice a day

  • Cleaning around your restoration using floss or interdental brushes

  • Attending regular dental check-ups and hygiene appointments

  • Avoiding habits that may damage your restoration

  • Contacting us if you notice any discomfort or changes in fit

Good oral hygiene will help protect both your restoration and your remaining natural teeth.
