Is it too late if my teeth have been missing for years?+
Long-standing gaps do not rule out treatment. They do mean the dentist will look carefully at chewing patterns, supporting tissues and neighbouring teeth when reviewing what could be done.
Should I choose implants, a bridge or dentures?+
The answer depends on your bone, gums, remaining teeth, bite, finances and preferences. Your assessment narrows the options, and combinations are possible.
Do my other teeth need work before I replace the missing ones?+
Quite often they do. Decay, infection and gum disease are usually dealt with first, since a replacement relies on a healthy foundation that you can keep clean.
Will I go without teeth during treatment?+
Ask this directly, because the answer varies by plan. Provisional care may be used in some cases, and you can discuss how a healing period would affect your appearance and chewing.
How long will replacing teeth take?+
Healing and laboratory steps can draw out the process, especially with implants or gum treatment, and care may extend over many months or longer. Your plan will give a better sense of what applies.
Can I start from Leila North with just a phone call?+
