For Helensburgh Patients
When many teeth are missing or worn
Losing teeth rarely happens all at once. A few go, the rest shift or wear down, and eating becomes a matter of working around the gaps.
If that sounds familiar, the first visit is mostly about listening. Your dentist checks which teeth are worth keeping and how firm your gums and jawbone are, and asks which foods or moments you miss most, such as a steak dinner or a family photo.
Some people replace one arch (the full row of upper or lower teeth) first and the other later. Ask how many appointments each stage needs and how you would clean and look after the result at home.
Bring a list of what bothers you most: a denture that rocks, a tooth you chew around, or a smile you hide. A short list helps the plan fit your life rather than a standard script.

Common Questions
Questions from Helensburgh patients
That depends on your general health, your gums and the amount of bone where the tooth is missing. An examination, usually with X-rays, shows whether an implant is a sensible choice for you or whether a bridge or denture would serve better.
