Tooth loss can be embarrassing. It can also cause remaining teeth to shift in position, leading to crooked teeth, gum disease and bone loss in the jaw -- as well as further tooth loss. You can avoid these complications by replacing the tooth, and dentists have several options to accomplish that.

Key takeaways:
- A dental implant in the jaw provides a permanent base for an artificial crown on top.
- An artificial tooth can be supported in place by two neighbouring teeth - creating a 'bridge'.
- Low-cost partial dentures use metal wire to attach an artificial denture in place.

Your dentist can discuss the best option for your unique smile.
