If you or someone that you know is missing any or all of your teeth, you should consider permanently replacing them with implant supported crowns or bridges. The implant, placed into the jawbone, replaces the missing root of the tooth. This is extremely important because this allows the jawbone to remain intact and not dissolve with time. A crown or bridge is then fixed to the implant to replace the visible and functional part of the tooth or teeth. Placing the implant is painless and is done by a surgical specialist either Oral Surgeon or Periodontist.
