A quick comparison of treatments patients often weigh up against each other. Only an examination can show which option suits you, and we explain each one, with an estimate, before you decide.
| Option | How it works | Points to consider |
|---|---|---|
| Dental implant | A titanium post is placed in the jawbone and a crown is fitted on top once the bone has healed. It stands on its own, so the neighbouring teeth are left untouched. | Not suitable for everyone: it depends on having enough bone, healthy gums, and conditions such as smoking and diabetes being managed. Treatment happens in stages. |
| Bridge | Artificial teeth anchored by crowns on the adjacent natural teeth. Fixed, not removable. | The teeth on either side of the gap form part of the restoration. |
| Dentures | Complete dentures replace all the teeth in a jaw; partial dentures replace several teeth and keep the natural ones. Implant-supported dentures are secured to implants. | Removable. They are adjusted over several visits until they settle. |
| Option | How it works | Points to consider |
|---|---|---|
| Braces | Fixed metal or ceramic braces, adjusted at regular visits. | Used where complex alignment issues need more precise control. Retainers follow. |
| Clear aligners | A series of removable clear plastic trays, taken out to eat and clean. | Effective for mild to moderate alignment issues; an assessment shows whether they are realistic for your bite. Retainers follow. |
| Option | How it works | Points to consider |
|---|---|---|
| Teeth whitening | Lightens the colour of natural teeth. A check-up comes first. | Does not change the colour of fillings, crowns or bridges, so these may end up a different shade. |
| Crown | A tooth-shaped cap that covers a damaged or weakened tooth, made to match the shade of the teeth around it. | The tooth is prepared to take the crown. An examination shows whether a crown is the right option. |
