Dentistry It’s usually recommended that missing teeth are replaced to prevent the remaining teeth moving into the empty space, which can result in more problems such as food and plaque traps, gum disease, stresses on other teeth and even temporo-mandibular joint (TMJ) problems.
There are several ways to replace teeth which include dentures, dental implants and dental bridges.
A dental bridge is designed to ‘bridge’ the gap between teeth, where one or more teeth are missing. A bridge usually uses one or both teeth either side of the gap to attach crowns which then carry the missing tooth or teeth. Alternatively, it is sometimes possible to use a small metal wing to attach the missing tooth to its neighbour. Each case needs careful assessment and all options would be discussed with you fully.
A denture is also known as a plate and should be removed at night. It is not fixed in the mouth like implants or bridges but is sometimes the best option to replace missing teeth. You may want to consider a denture if you have already worn one successfully and it needs to be replaced due to wear or if you have a lot of teeth to replace or you need a temporary replacement of teeth whilst waiting for an extracted tooth space to heal or you are not suitable for implants and your remaining teeth are not suitable for a bridge.
Implants are an excellent way to replace missing teeth in the appropriate situation, we don’t offer this service at Evolve, but are happy to refer to excellent colleagues if this is the best treatment option for you.

Book An Introduction Call Why is my dentist taking photographs of my teeth?
“Why are you taking photographs of my teeth?”
A perfectly reasonable question.
Dental photographs aren`t just for before-and-afters.
They can help us record what we`re seeing, monitor changes, explain things more clearly and involve you in conversations about your own teeth.
Richard explains why you might see a camera appear during an appointment at Evolve.
Because when we`re talking about your mouth, we think it`s rather useful if you can see what we`re talking about too.
There`s more to a smile transformation than two photographs
A before-and-after shows you two moments.
What it doesn`t show is everything that happened between them.
The conversations. The planning. What the patient wanted to change. The different options considered. And the decisions about what not to change.
That`s why we think the story behind a smile is every bit as interesting as the finished result.
Every patient is different - and every treatment plan should be too.
Here`s one of the lovely transformations we`ve had the privilege of being part of at Evolve. 💚
What actually happens during a dental examination?
If it’s been a while since your last dental examination, not knowing what to expect can sometimes make booking that appointment feel like a much bigger deal.
So what actually happens when you come in?
Richard explains what your dentist is looking for during a dental examination - and why it involves much more than simply checking whether you need a filling.
Regular examinations give us an opportunity to keep an eye on your teeth, gums and mouth, talk about anything that has changed and identify anything that may need our attention.
And if you haven’t been for a while? Please don’t feel embarrassed.
We’re simply pleased you’ve decided to come and see us.
