In a recent article in the mirror newspaper a report indicates that there are 110 million missing teeth in the UK alone

well
1. Implants – this is a titanium post which is inserted into the jaw bone and allowed to integrate with the bone and then a crown can be placed on top the benefit of this type fo treatment for missing teeth is that it does not alter the adjacent teeth in way although it is dependent upon teh amount of bone in the jaw
2, Bridges - a bridge consists of a missing tooth or teeth which is attached to the teeth on either side of the gap. The attachment can be a crown or even a wing on the teeth either side of the gap for more information and video click here
