Losing a front tooth that makes up the ‘social six’, which are the teeth most visible when you smile, can make smiling feel like a tall order. Meanwhile losing a tooth that’s integral for breaking down food such as a molar not only causes difficulties with eating, but forces other teeth to work harder to perform functions they are not designed to do. If you have lost more than one tooth, or indeed a whole arch of teeth, a set of complete bespoke dentures may be appropriate. If you’re missing just a single tooth, a single removable partial denture can be created to address this.
