Sheldon Brown has a page on this topic with relevant measurements.
But are you sure the teeth are missing? Some teeth on a chainring are usually lower than others to enable smoother shifting. Others may be ground down by rocks or kerbs. Neither of these conditions mean that you need a new chainring, as long as the remaining teeth are engaging the chain properly.
