Missing teeth - whether one, several or a full arch - affect more than just how you look. They affect how confidently you eat, how clearly you speak, how often you smile in photos, and even how your jawbone holds up over time. The good news is that modern dentistry offers more ways than ever to replace them, and at Teamcare in Bedford we offer most of those options under one roof.
Our principal dentist Jai Basudev has a long-standing interest in implant dentistry, and we're supported by a highly experienced visiting implant clinician for advanced and full arch cases. Whatever the right answer is for you - a permanent, fixed implant solution, a custom-made crown or bridge, a comfortable modern denture, or a combination - we'll talk you through it honestly and let you decide at your own pace.
For our patients in Bedford and Bedfordshire, missing teeth treatment usually starts with a free consultation. We'll assess what's possible, talk through your options without any pressure, and give you a clear written plan if you'd like to proceed.


A dental crown is a custom-made cap that fits over a damaged or weakened tooth, restoring its shape, size, strength and appearance. Crowns are used in all sorts of situations - to protect a tooth that's had root canal treatment, to repair a broken tooth, to cover a discoloured tooth, or to sit on top of a dental implant as the final restoration.
Modern porcelain and ceramic crowns are designed to look indistinguishable from natural teeth. Crowns at Teamcare start from £790.

Dental implants are small titanium screws placed gently into your jawbone to act as artificial tooth roots. Once integrated, a custom-made crown is fitted on top - giving you a tooth that looks, feels and functions like the real thing. Implants are the longest-lasting solution to missing teeth and they help to keep your jawbone healthy too.
We use the trusted Ankylos implant system with over 30 years of clinical evidence. Single dental implants start from £2,840, with a free initial consultation worth £95.

Full mouth implants - sometimes called full arch or all-on-4 treatment - replace all the teeth in your upper or lower jaw using four to six strategically placed implants. In many cases, we can fit a fixed set of temporary teeth on the same day as your implant placement, so you walk out of the practice with a complete smile.
It's the closest thing modern dentistry offers to having your teeth back. IV sedation is available on request for longer cases, and your free initial consultation includes everything you need to make an informed decision.

For patients who'd prefer a non-surgical option for replacing missing teeth, modern dentures remain a reliable, well-proven solution. There are several types to choose from - full, partial, chrome and implant-supported dentures - each suited to different situations. We'll match the right type to you at your consultation.
Modern dentures are a long way from the awkward, obvious dentures of decades ago. Dentures at Teamcare start from £895.
