Missing Teeth — Solutions in Ealing

Missing teeth can knock your confidence and make eating harder than it should be. Our Ealing team rebuild smiles with implants, bridges and modern dentures — designed to look and feel like your own teeth.

01 — Why it matters

Replacing a tooth does more than fill the gap.

Tooth loss can come from gum disease, decay, trauma or simply age. Left untreated, gaps cause neighbouring teeth to drift, your bite to change and the jaw bone to shrink.

Modern tooth replacement options are stronger and more natural-looking than ever — and our team in Ealing will recommend the right option for your mouth, lifestyle and budget.

02 — Symptoms

Why missing teeth matter.

The signs vary, but most people notice one or more of these:

01A smaller-looking mouth or sunken cheeks
02Difficulty chewing certain foods
03Other teeth drifting into the gap
04Increased decay or gum disease around the gap
05Reduced confidence smiling, laughing or speaking

03 — Causes

Where it comes from.

The most common culprits:

Gum disease

Tooth decay

Untreated cavities reaching the root.

Trauma
