There are three main ways to replace missing teeth, each with trade-offs in cost, comfort and longevity. This guide compares them side by side so you can have an informed conversation at your consultation.
If you're missing one or more teeth, you'll usually be choosing between dental implants, a fixed bridge, or a denture. The best option depends on how many teeth are missing, the health of your remaining teeth and bone, your priorities, and your budget.
Below is a straightforward comparison. The right answer is different for everyone — at Rahouly Dental Clinic we'll assess your mouth and talk you through which option suits you best.
| Implants | Bridge | Dentures | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fixed or removable | Fixed | Fixed | Usually removable |
| Affects other teeth | No | Neighbours filed down | No |
| Protects jawbone | Yes | No | No |
| Longevity | Often decades / lifetime | Around 10–15 years | Needs periodic remaking |
