The loss of a permanent tooth can be very traumatic to some people. We understand that it can affect their whole well being. When one losses a tooth, it affects their ability to eat, which can, in turn, affect their nutrition. It can also affect their overall self esteem by affecting their appearance and speech.
In the past years, the most commonly used methods of restoring missing teeth were the use of dentures and fixed bridges. However, in most recent years, we have seen dental implants become the number one choice for the replacement of missing teeth.
Fixed bridges usually involves sacrificing the healthy teeth in the surrounding area of the missing tooth/teeth. Dental implants, made of titanium rods, are anchored into the jawbone to support restorations that are made to resemble the tooth/teeth.
