Replace Missing Teeth with Comfort, Strength and precision.

Ready to take control of your oral health? At Optident, we offer focused general dental treatments that preserve natural teeth, relieve pain and ensure long‑term wellbeing. Our private clinic combines advanced technology with warm, patient‑centred care.

Dentures

Dentures are removable prosthetic teeth designed to look and feel natural. They are a cost‑effective way to replace multiple missing teeth or entire arches.

Bridges

Dental bridges provide a fixed solution for missing teeth, using crowns on adjacent teeth (or implants) to support a replacement tooth or teeth.

Implants

Implants are the gold standard for replacing missing teeth. They consist of a titanium post inserted into the jawbone and a custom‑made crown or bridge secured on top.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best option for replacing missing teeth?

The best treatment depends on how many teeth are missing, the health of your gums and the strength of neighbouring teeth. Implants offer the most secure solution, bridges are fixed replacements supported by existing teeth, and dentures replace multiple missing teeth cost-effectively. Your dentist will help you choose the most suitable option.

Implants feel and function like natural teeth and don’t move, but they may not suit everyone. They require healthy gums and adequate bone, and take longer to complete. Dentures offer a quicker, more affordable alternative, especially when several teeth are missing.

Yes. Bridges can replace one or several missing teeth, provided the surrounding teeth are strong enough to support them. In some cases, a bridge can also be supported by implants instead of natural teeth.

Yes. Even well-made dentures eventually need replacing due to natural changes in the mouth over time. Most last 5–10 years, depending on wear and bone changes. Your dentist will advise when it’s time for a review or replacement.

It depends on the treatment. Implants can last many years with good care, bridges usually last 10–15 years, and dentures typically last 5–10 years. Regular check-ups and good oral hygiene help extend their lifespan.

Yes. Implants offer the most natural chewing ability, bridges feel similar to real teeth, and modern dentures can allow comfortable eating after an adjustment period. Your dentist will guide you on eating tips during the transition.
