A missing tooth is more than just a cosmetic problem. Leaving an empty space can lead to serious issues like speech problems, difficulty chewing, and even causing your remaining teeth to shift and create gaps.
At Dental Planet Mysore, Dr. Avinash BS and his team of specialists offer 5 different ways to restore your smile, ranging from economical options to permanent fixes.

Option 1: Dental Implants (The Gold Standard)
As explained in the video, this is the best option available today.
- What it is: A titanium screw is placed into your jawbone to act as a new root, and a crown is built on top.
- Why it’s best: It is fixed and, unlike a bridge, it does not disturb the adjacent teeth. Our implantologists specialize in these procedures for long-lasting results.
Option 2: Fixed Partial Denture (Dental Bridge)
- What it is: We take support from the teeth on either side of the gap to “bridge” the missing space.
- Pros: It is a fixed solution (you don’t remove it).
- Cons: We have to shape the neighboring healthy teeth to support the bridge.
Option 3: Removable Partial Denture (RPD)
- What it is: An acrylic plate with artificial teeth attached.
- Pros: It is the most economical (cheapest) option.
- Cons: It must be removed every night while sleeping and stored in water.
Option 4: Complete Denture
- Best For: Patients who have lost all their teeth.
- What it is: A full set of removable teeth.
- Cons: Like the partial denture, it must be removed at night and can sometimes feel loose.
Option 5: All-on-4 / All-on-6 (Implant-Supported Denture)
If you are missing all your teeth but hate loose dentures, this is the modern solution offered by our advanced care team.
- What it is: We place 4 or 6 implants in your jaw and fix a full denture permanently onto them.
- Why choose it: It is fixed (no removing at night) and won’t slip or fall while you are talking or eating.
What is the Cost of Replacing Teeth in Mysore?
Since every patient is different, the cost varies based on the condition of your jawbone and which option you choose. However, here is a general guide to help you plan:
- Most Economical: The Removable Partial Denture is the most affordable option. It is a great temporary solution or for those on a strict budget.
- Mid-Range: Dental Bridges are a middle-ground investment. They cost more than removable dentures but less than full mouth implants.
- Long-Term Investment: Dental Implants have a higher initial cost, but because they can last a lifetime, they are often the best value for money in the long run.
