Tooth Replacement Options
Missing teeth can lead to more than just appearance concerns. They often cause uneven biting and jaw imbalance, which may contribute to headaches, clicking in the temporomandibular joint (TMJ), and joint discomfort. Without replacement, the remaining teeth can experience extra wear, increasing the risk of cracks or further damage. Teeth may also begin to drift or tip, creating small gaps where food can collect, leading to decay and gum disease.
Over time, the jawbone beneath a missing tooth can thin out, raising the risk of fracture if left untreated. At New Horizons Dental in Port Douglas, we offer a range of options to replace missing teeth, including dental implants, bridges and plates. Replacing missing teeth can help protect your remaining teeth, support long-term jaw function, and improve oral health. Your dental surgeon will discuss which treatment option best suits your lifestyle, oral condition and financial situation.
Who We Are
Our Implant Services
Dental Implants
Dental implants replace single or multiple missing teeth while helping maintain bite function and support jawbone and gum health over time.
Dental Bridges
Bridges restore one or more missing teeth by anchoring artificial teeth to adjacent teeth or implants, helping prevent shifting and maintain proper bite alignment.
Dentures
Custom-made full or partial dentures replace multiple missing teeth. They restore function, improve appearance, and support speech and facial structure in a removable format.
