SEVERAL TEETH MISSING
The ability to comfortably chew, enjoy and digest your food can be hampered when multiple teeth are missing. A great fixed alternative in a situation such as this is implant treatment. With this in mind, the two solutions available include individual, separate crowns on dental implants or a bridge attached to two or more dental implants. Neither of these options requires grinding down adjacent teeth or utilizing clasps to hold a removable partial denture in place. Having dental implants replacing your lost back teeth will give you new, unparalleled strength and stability that allows you to eat what you want. They also help preserve your jawbone and facial appearance.
Benefits of replacing several missing teeth with implant supported crowns:
- The only fixed alternative in this situation
- A stable, secure solution that lets you eat what you want
- Preserves your facial appearance and helps prevent bone loss
