Replacing a tooth

Restore comfort, function and appearance

Losing a tooth, whether through trauma, deep decay or periodontal disease, has consequences that go far beyond appearance. It can disrupt chewing, affect the alignment of neighbouring teeth and reduce

Why replacing a missing tooth is essential

Impact of a missing tooth on chewing
Impact of a missing tooth on chewing

Losing a tooth changes how chewing forces are distributed. Some teeth become overloaded, which can lead to premature wear, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pain or digestive problems caused by inadequate chewing. A suitable replacement restores comfortable, balanced chewing function.

Movement of neighbouring teeth after tooth loss

When a tooth is not replaced, the adjacent teeth may move into the gap. This disrupts the overall alignment of the teeth, causes bite problems and makes any future rehabilitation more complex. Replacing a tooth promptly helps prevent these long-term complications.

Solutions for replacing a tooth

Dental implant to replace a tooth

Dental implant

An implant is an artificial root inserted into the alveolar bone and topped with a crown. It is the most stable, durable and comfortable solution, with no impact on neighbouring teeth. It may be recommended when there is sufficient bone and the patient’s medical circumstances allow it.

Dental bridge to replace a tooth
Dental bridge

A bridge is a fixed prosthesis supported by the teeth adjacent to the missing tooth. These teeth, known as abutment teeth, are prepared to support one or more crowns. A bridge is a good alternative when an implant is not feasible or when the neighbouring teeth already require restoration.

Removable denture to replace one or more teeth

A removable denture replaces one or more teeth. It may be partial, supported by the remaining teeth, or complete. Although less stable than an implant or bridge, it is an accessible solution, particularly in cases of extensive tooth loss or as a temporary measure before definitive treatment.

How to choose the most suitable solution

Assessment of medical considerations when replacing a tooth
Assessment of medical considerations when replacing a tooth

The choice of treatment depends on several factors: bone quality, the condition of neighbouring teeth, oral hygiene, medical history, eating habits and the patient’s age. A complete clinical and radiographic assessment helps determine the safest and most durable solution.

Choosing a durable solution to replace a tooth

Each solution has advantages and limitations:

  • An implant is durable but requires surgery.
  • A bridge is fixed but places demands on neighbouring teeth.
  • A removable denture is affordable and non-invasive but requires a period of adjustment.

At Cabinet Dentaire de la Madeleine, we help you choose the option best suited to your needs and everyday life.

The course of treatment

1

The replacement stages

Treatment begins with a complete oral health assessment. Depending on the chosen solution, the stages include:

  • Preparing the bone or teeth, if necessary
  • Placing the implant or taking an impression for a bridge or denture
  • Fitting the restoration (crown, bridge or denture) 

2

Healing time

For an implant, a healing period of 3 to 6 months is often required to allow osseointegration. This may vary depending on the initial condition of the bone and the techniques used. Follow-up appointments are arranged to support a successful outcome.
